PEAKS POOTLE: feb 19th, white peak

My this has been busy! Everyone’s welcome, and it’s definitely pootle pace. Race snakes welcome; but you
Must be happy holding gates!

and it’s definitely pootle pace

I am fine with the pootle pace, its more having something a bit ‘interesting’ to ride if driving 2hrs to get there.

I am in the minority coming from afar though, so i will shush now 😉

I want strippers, show girls and a Swing band playing.

Just try to do wheelie the whole ride Jamie.

It’s not flat, but it’s not super gnarly. most of the height is gained on road, and lost off road 🙂

Jamie – aren’t you based in Peterboghorror……? If I end up coming along, we could always sort out some kind of lift share type thing….? I’m just north of Peterborough…..

Moving house on the 11th – should be free on the weekend of the 19th though, unless the parents want to see the new house or something….

Hi Stumpy01,

If it’s like last time I will be going up with my mate, so my little fiesta will be full of people and bikes. If he ain’t coming then will sort something out mate.

I’m in again,and bringing a couple of mates.

Lookin’ forward to it 8)

Only kidding jules, the last pootle of yours I came on had some lovely tech bits

Just re-read through what I posted and it comes across a bit churlish. So apologies about that and thanks for those putting the effort in to organise this pootle. 8)

Don’t be daft Jamie it would be a peaks pootle thread without someone making outrageous demands. Keeps chris/jules on their toes 😉

I can’t be bothered riding the mile and a half down to the start, so you must all ride up to my house and push me back down to the Lay-by.

There’s an example Jamie. 😉

I’ll be riding up from the Grove on my new build Kinesis maxlight pro hard tail. Pics to follow 😀

Sambob, you forgot breakfast in bed

Oh don’t be fooled. I am merely getting everyone softened up for the rider I will be posting to the thread.

Here is a taster:

1) Tangfastics Harribos will be provided for my delectation.

2) Said Tangfastics must only be the cola bottles.

3) Any pub we stop at must serve Guinness.

4) If I turn up with no gloves like last time, then a pair of gloves will be provided for me.

5) Anyone fitter than me will have a rocks put in their camelbak/dakine.

…..there will be more.

Thats more like it!

Ahh yes, that too. Full english but no mushrooms, eggs easy over please. Don’t be silly Jamie, you may only have one glove as we have come to expect you to bring just the one.

No problem, Jamie but in a similar vein to your ‘demands’ I’d appreciate it it u’d book & pay for a cab to take me & drop me off. Preferably an estate… 😀

Thanks in advance.

I might dust off the Snowdon dirt for this one!

….at this rate we might have to book out the white peak for the day.

Just for us.

No Jamie, I have booked it for myself, and you can all hire it out for £1,000,000 per mile of riding.

Seems fair. Ok if I pay in instalments?

Cash paid every mile, i’ll get my helicopter pilot to fly round and collect it all 🙂

Ok. Will leave the payment, in 1p coins naturally, in the usual place for Chopper Dave to come and get it.

His name is Chives…. Why not scatter them to give him something to do.

Chives? Dave get the sack then? Shame, he did like to pick up those pennies.

Yep, Dave try to steal my diamonds, if he had asked he could have had a handful, but he had to go. Chives is very well behaved so far though.

Will you please stop organising Pootle trips on day I can’t get away 🙁

Have yet another fun day, swines!

😉

I have absolutely no idea what’s going on here.

Neither do i….

Neither do i….

That’s what you get for sacking Chopper Dave. Diamond diddler or not, he kept Pook informed.

He was machine gun trained aswell. Might need him back if people don’t pay up….

I have absolutely no idea what’s going on here.

Nor any idea how to work this sodding phone!

Nor any idea how to work this sodding phone!

You know who was trained in the dark arts of the inner workings of mobile phones?

…..Yup.

Chopper Dave.

My friend farmer Lucy owns some of the land we’ll be riding through. I’ll call her and have her remove all other mtbers/redsox/sheep/low flying geese etc for the day, then the fast boys can barrel those descents.
Who’s chopper Dave?

Sambob – I think the ‘Shady Oak’ is a good call for the post ride pub stop, shame you’ll have to stay outside 😉

Who’s riding a chopper? Jane, jules, can I try the tandem?

Who’s chopper Dave?

Sambob’s ex-penny collecting, machine gun owning, helicopter pilot who stole his diamonds.

Tandem test rides can be arranged, but it’ll be a short spin as Jane won’t fit on most other people’s bikes. Longer test rides available fro NBT Towers by arrangement, of course
