ah i don’t mind the numbers – I’m seriously looking forward to this one now. Looks like a healthy bunch of folks!

i’m not healthy in the slightest

might not be able to make it after all…

i’m not healthy in the slightest

Its not Gastric flu like what I had is it?

i thought you had permanent cranial flu Hora?

Anyone going through Whaley Bridge fancy making a very slight detour to give me a lift? Ta very much if anyone can help.

Ride over – canal to New Mills, SVT, sorted. I might drag a mate along as well as the cat by the way – the cat is really fast, my mate isn’t 😉

Cheers Graeme. Will mail you now with directions as post code doesn’t quite get you here.

You lazy bugger, at least cycle down into the village to meet him instead of having him get lost down country lanes 😉

We’ll revisit this when you are in the eye of the storm of illness.

I’ve not ridden properly for about a month, so that’s my excuse. But riding down into Whaley is a good idea, i hadn’t thought of that. You could bring Dave BWD, we all know how much he hates stopping. 😈

sambob, since November I have ridden less than ten times in total. November- Rotor Cuff, January?- knee and then viral.

Now you’ve stolen my excuse. Sorry to hear it though, hopefully you’ll be back up to speed soon?

Speed? I.e….zombie pace? He’s just moaning cos he’s not got a car.

This weekend I almost knocked it all on the head and put the Santa Cruz up for sale.

I can always look after it for you until you want it again? 😉

Nah, I went the other way and stuck a Chris King wheel on the back instead

I’ve just ordered a new wheel

Sambob, just had a look at your directions, even with my numpty degree in Navigation I think I’ll get there! Sat nav will be on back up.

I can ride down in to Whaley and meet you there if that’s easier?

No problem coming to you, I’ll drop you a mail later. I think I must have the same navigating skills as the guys that do the MBR mag route guides, and we all know how
crap they are !

I’ve just ordered a new wheel

New rear to go with the Hope front wheel? Don#t tell me the front’s died already?

Nope, i think it was the rear suspension pivots making that rattling sound. Pro3 xc63 on dt 4.2 from the Hope ex display wheel sale for £125 🙂

winner, proper bo bargain!

that’s what i thought, and it means i have a nice wheel for Scotland next week 🙂

Speed? I.e….zombie pace? He’s just moaning cos he’s not got a car.

The pootle’s this weekend. are you going to scotland post-pootle or have you got dates mixed up?

Going to Scotland a week tomorrow, so yes, post-pootle.

Anyone need a rear wheel?

nearly missed this! just back from my annual charity bike ride,(Geneva to Monaco this year) and the legs are feeling strong after all those alpine hills! See you all there. PS. Sambob, getting a lift from WB is the height of idleness. on your bike young man! 😀

I’m riding from home to the middle of Whaley, so it’s still on GraemeJones’ route, therefore i don’t feel guilty. As hard as you lot try.

Adey, great stuff, we were wondering over the weekend if you;d seen the thread 😀

Hora, tempted by that wheel, got a matching front?

If hora doesn’t have a wheel for you NBT: Hope on XR400

I’m also planning to come, although fighting of man flu at moment. Think I may have caught it from Hora after reading one of his posts.

Matt

You don’t want any of Hora’s diseases. They’s things that drugs don’t fix.

Anyway, tonight I shall try to write down just who is meant to be coming on this……

and for now share my latest (cheeky) video….

Take off andybob, he’s running the fell race in Edale on sunday, hency why i wanted a lift 🙂

Hi,

I may be bringing along two other riding buddies … a bit cheeky I know as I’ve not ridden with you guys (& girls) before 😳

Fair enough popartpoem, the more the merrier. I think someone might need to let the pub know they might have a few more mountain bikers than normal.

Pub, pub? I’m going for a cream tea.
