I’ve just checked the weather forecast and a 30 mile drive “up t’ valley” in heavy snow is a little daft.

I’m oot.

Guys, the roads aren’t looking great round here, it’s taken me 45 mins to get from Heptonstall to Hebden Bridge (very gingerly down the hill) and there were at least 2 collisions that I saw, turned promptly around, and came straight back home (very gingerly).

Still snowing

All else fails, we can still just go to the pub.

It’s not snowing in Hebden Bridge.

It’s snowing in Heptonstall, Brant.

Shall we just go for a pint? 😆

Why not make it Rivi or is that the same?

It’s snowing in Heptonstall, Brant.

If it’s raining in Heb, it’ll be snowing in Heptonstall 😉

The suns out now!

Shall we just go for a pint?

I’ve got a presentation to get to Print Bureau for 12, then I’m free.

Owing to transport I shall be unable to attend this evening and will have to await another opportunity to loose my MNPR cherry. Enjoy.

So is anyone going to be turning up to ride then?

The sun is out now.

snow has pretty much gone, or is going. (slightly disappointing)

Right, well I’ll be outside the Gate at 8.15 anyway.

I’ll be there.
It’s a motorway and a massive main road all the way from here to there, so I’m not expecting to be be stranded in the car.
I’ll have a mountain bike with me anyway. ready for owt.

I’m going to miss. Light issues.

Roads are all fine. I’ll see y’all there at 8.15 in the car park. Two ups, two downs, pints in pub. Sorted.

The chippy round the corner hasn’t been open for a couple of years, Hora…

Won’t be braking my duck just yet. But will be at the Littleborugh in a few weeks. Can ride there from my house

Sorry but for the first time this year – i’m out!

Have a good evening!

Well I was really looking forward to this one but unless the blinding headache I’ve had since yesterday disappears in the next 30mins, I’m not going to make it. Bloody annoying. 👿

I’ll be there.

hmmm tied to my laptop finishing a project*

*not done by a colleague; cheers…. 🙄

Chips round the corner ‘corner! Round from Natwest.

Beer beer beer beer beer … No one died and my SS was fine. Beer beer beer beer beer.

Excellent ride last night good mix of climbs and downhill sections.

Barry

did you all stay in the pub for ages after I left? I’ve heard stories of hangovers this morning…

I was there till closing, as was Chipps, Clover and a few others…I have a feeling I may be responsible for at least one hangover by buying a pint of beer I didn’t know was 7% for someone…

News of extended beer drinking is just rubbing salt into the wounds now.

Nice picture GFS!

Unintentionall Monday drinking was an interesting start to work today. Thankfully at a conference all day.

I need to get a lift next time by somebody who likes to stay late and doesn’t drink. I can’t believe I had to pick one of the weakest beers and that was around 5%.
Excellent ride as well as pub.

I walked in the pub and suddenly wanted to get slaughtered, leave the car in the car park and ride/wobble home.
sort of glad I didn’t.

You’ll have to come back for a Saturday bike ride and pub session then, Jase! And if anyone else would like an extended tour of the valley, I’m happy to play tour guide if I’m around…

ace. good idea.

Great idea. Combine the two and do a Calderdale pub-crawl by bike?

Well we passed at least 7 pubs on last nights ride…

just that pub we went to last night will do.

Well I’m in whatever the plan. It combines my two favourite activities 🙂

Combine the two and do a Calderdale pub-crawl by bike?

I’d definitely be up for either, I don’t know the riding round Hebden at all so a guided tour would be ace. Same goes for the pubs.

And I could probably get back home by train, too. Hmmm…
