PEAKS POOTLE – 22nd January

I would be very interested in doing a Lakes Pootle.

That could work….

…even though it probably is quicker for me to get to the Alps 😉

lakes ride would be top.my little off has left me with a cracked rib but it only hurts if I breath deeply or lift anything(was riding last night :wink:).The car blew a front spring on the way home…..worth it though flippin great ride !

Healing vibes. FFS- you should have said this at the time guys. Could have bloody said something to the planks.

Jamie, if you could send me the gloves asap that’d be great

Popped them in the post this morning mate.

dale – hope you mend soon.
Thanks to you and stilltortoise for all the good advice for the down hills. I’ve been practising with the heels down, off a bit more with the brakes (not dragging). Just need some more riding time and confidence. Oh and Jules is going to adjust my brake positions.

Lakes pootle – count myself and nbt in please.

I might try and get a shift swap if this is going to be a lakes pootle

lakes pootle will be one for summer I think. We can show you round the macc route another time Dan, don’t panic

Ok I’m getting confused, where is this pootle then?

Not been decided yet i don’t think.

No probs Jane.

Some months back did I offer (on here) to join up for a ride around Three Shires Head? My memory tells me there was a Bunnyhop involved in that thread. Was that you? There’s some good rocky downhills to practice on around there and Macc forest.

yes, we did suggest some time back that we might ressurect the MaccFest, I think the time has come:

Return Of The Macc(fest)

my little off has left me with a cracked rib

Unlucky, hope you mend quickly! You were right behind me when that happened, it sounded spectacular and I thought I was a goner too for a second.

Are there normally that many broken bones on a pootle? Along with Hora’s patella that’s nearly a 10% casualty rate, yikes…

I was lucky as when I fell off I missed any rocks. Might have snapped something if I came off in the same way on the harder stuff.

It’s like fight club on bikes 😉

“Oh good marks here I’ll have some company at the back……as Jane powers off!

there was a Bunnyhop involved in that thread. Was that you?

Yep Dan that was me.

You’ll have to come over to our end of the Peaks, there’s plenty of rocky stuff (Marple end).

Ooh yes please, not done much around Marple 🙂

Right, so no date has been set for the latest pootle. Most likely 19/20th though. Jules and I will work out a date and post a seperate thread detailing it. Keep an eye out.

Jamie – cheers. Gloves arrived today. Smell lovely too 😉

And, in no way in a ‘pervy’ sense, but girls, these are perfect rides to get into the big group ride thing. It’s all very social and relaxed. Jane will tell you.

Chances are you’re better than most of us anyway, but please come along.

That is very true. I don’t stay at the back on the uphills because I’m caring and protective (I am those things anyway) its because I’m fat and unfit. 🙂
If I come along there is a guarantee you won’t be last on the ups….

Chances are you’re better than most of us anyway, but please come along.

Jamie –

Ah well. I have had a good run. Game of two halts etc etc.

Oh yes Rabena? From bogtrotters. Please come along 🙂

What are you on about?

Ask SFB- lurvly Asian lady

I’m worried that my wife actually wants to meet you Mark, she says you sound odd.

Sounds odd?

Sounds and looks decidly odd..

on one of the rare occasions I make a pootle I’ll convince her to come along

Can someone stalk bogtrotters or search sfb’s on stw to find a pic of said hottie? My blackberry is crap for stalking

Yes – more female riders please do come along. I a got free skills lesson and lots of encouragement.

Also its fun watching all the egos and testosterone in action 😉
