PEAKS POOTLE: feb 19th, white peak

Great to be back out on the bike again and to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones. Top marks again to Graeme the free-mobile-cafe 🙂

Would be up for a mid-Wales ride. Possibly make it a weekender?

Possibly make it a weekender?

There’s enough riding there for a weekender.

There’s also a nice camp site right in the town and some pubs that stay open until you run out of money. 😉

I’d be up for a wales pootle too 🙂

I’ll make more Ginger cake for next time :-).Its just nice knowing you can have a brew and cake a couple of minutes after getting back to your car when you’re parked away from any cafe’s or shops.
My tent and sleeping bag have just moved closer to the loft door!

Thanks Chris and Jules for arrange the ride. As always loads of fun and the snow made things interesting.

Time: 02:17:10
Distance: 14.72 mi

I didn’t realise who much leg flesh was on show until I looked at the pics – I guess I tend to register people’s faces rather than their legs or bikes for that matter 😉

snow, shorts and tandems FTW. 🙂

Thought that puddle would be bad – another good reason for cutting off. Unfortunately there’s no good way to sneak in with a spade and sort it out.

I may be up for the next one. Seems like my sort of riding-bad weather and pushing.

apologies for the quality and squashiness. The one I uploaded was 16:9 and crisp. Vimeo’s arsing about. I’ve been trying to upload it for 2 days!!

Ooooh nice.

Thanks very much for that Chris,it played back fine on my ropey laptop.
Looking forward to the next one. 🙂

Nice one Chris.

Glad you like it – the one on my computer looks great!

I will try to get a decent version up though

Like the music, too.

It’s the national, secret meeting. From thealbum ‘alligator’. I can’t recommend them highly enough

I’m quietly relieved by my almost total absence from the video. Nice to see my car there though 🙂

Oh you petrol head 😉
