PEAKS POOTLE: June 12th, Cakes, Tandems and a bit of a chat

Yep Farmer John’s is free for spectators.

Sounds good. Can you email me your home phone number incase i’m late or can’t make it?

bit mixed up on times I think. We’re riding at 9.30 tomorrow morning from our house. CHeck mail for details

Bump for the morning lot.

cheers Sam

i think i may be in attendance if that’s okay.

Well, as you asked so politely how could we refuse? 😉

Anyone’s welcome.

Even sambob

Is that just because i got you in the head with a snowball?

Me and Mrs.Stanley will come and play too. Will probably ride from Marple if anybody wants to join us.

Been on the bike once in the last month, so it will be good to get out!

Bump again.

crikey you’re keen!

Bored. And lots of people is good, less likely for me to be at the back then.

How’s the new bike sambob?

At the moment pivot bearings are shot but when it works it’s good, bit of pedal bob but very stable downhill. Nice with beefy forks.

Sam, you’d be more than welcome to join the pushing brethren at the back. I’ll be carrying a small bakery of cake and I’ll still be getting used to the backwards shifting of the Alfine so I’ll not be particularly quick.

Hey might be able to make it down for this, not been on a pootle before so sounds good.
i’ll be on the blue pig
see you there

I don’t push, i just ride a single speed. That speed = slow.

Podge, you got the alfine? How is it?

Think im up for this..! dont post much and havent ever been on a big organised group ride like this before!! 😕

ill be the shy nervous looking ginger one with a bright Green Meta 5.. 😳

Hooray, I have a pass, and the roads are unlikely to be snowbound this time, so I shall be able to make it to this one!

Don’t worry spacehopper – I’ve only been on one before, but everyone was very friendly indeed, you’ll have a grand time I’m sure.

Sam, I pushed up a hill as fast as Chris rode up it. pushing is the future.

Tom, bought it but its not here yet. should have it fitted for the weekend but I’m at another wedding so can’t come out riding.

I’ve not ridden with you guys before; I’m quite new to this forum malarkey and would love to join you … what should I do, turn up and look purposeful? 😕

Turn up and faff with bikes for half an hour, preferably with cake. Forgetting something vital eg helmet or SPD shoes is recommended just so you fit in perfectly. Maybe have some pink bits on your bike.

Looks like I’m made to fit in… I can faff for England and a half hours worth of pointless bike fettling comes easy to me. As for forgetting stuff, I have medals!!!

Can’t make this one as we will be driving back from Aviemore – where I may just manage to get some riding in, oh yes.

You’re not allowed to be too good. I turned up without a working front brake once so i win.

You may not be the only one with a green Meta.
Is yours still in one piece 🙂

Still in one piece.. I’ve tried breaking it, but its still going for now..! I’ll be the only ginger nervous looking one though..;)

we’re only allowed one ginger so you’ll have to fight to the death on the day

Someone once turned up without a bike

I once turned up with 2 right-handed gloves.

Pook saved the day though.

*swoon*

Just doing my duty ma’am

Will it be okay if I bring my cat?

As long as it brings Haribo

i’ll probably bring some kind of cake. it’ll be egg/dairy free though! and maybe some veggie haribo too. ha!

nbt can confirm that i’m quite (well, very!) slow, especially on the uphill bits…

My cat is really slow too, that’s mostly why I asked. I wouldn’t want it to hold anyone up, though it’s very fast on more technical terrain thanks to feline reflexes and an excellent sense of balance.

You might be able to borrow an angry bike if you want Jamie.

Angry bike?

…might be academic though, as it’s the saturday I think I would be free.

Your cat will fit nicely in the shopping basket that is fitted to the front of my Juliana.

We forgot pedals once, however that was in Welsh Wales and not on a Pooks Peak/s pootle.
