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

All we need’s pint and some scampi fries.

nbt I wouldn’t sell my front as its worn/old and it needs new bearings etc. When I find a cheapy King front wheel I’d keep the front hope as a spare.

blimey… knocking on for nearly 40 people!!

will the bridleways be long enough to fit us all on?? 😯

and scampi fries?? ew!! bacon fries 😉

LadyTollah is coming too so add another to the list!
Weather is looking 50/50 at this stage:-0

Met office says dry in the Peak District on sunday, winner!

Nice one! Jane will be delighted

blimey… knocking on for nearly 40 people!!

Based on previous lists of promised attendees versus actual turner-uppers (as it were) I expect to see around 20 to 24 🙂

weather’s a bit manic at the moment, it was raining on and off all day yesterday – proper stair rods at one point, and Trio up in North Manchester reported heavy hail – but when I rode home from work at 4pm it was beautiful blue skies, I went the long way home and the trails were more or less dry. fab stuff.

Whichever pub it is they stand to see quite an upturn in Sunday revenues – though, i’ll be driving….

Speaking of pubs – mintimperial and I went out on a ‘training’ ride last night 😉 (+Ben and Andy, but they’re not joining in on Sunday…)

Just checking we got the balance right
15 mins meeting and faffing.
1:40hrs and 8.5 miles riding
1:45hrs and 4 pints in the pub
🙂

You’ll need to slow down a bit…

make that 42 graham and I are hoping to come

mart

tollah – i look forward meeting her ladyship.

seeing you will of course be a necessary evil.

Sadly K is on a girly camping weekend so won’t be in attendance.

You’ll need to slow down a bit…

the riding or the drinking 😉

You’ve all remembered pootle fees are now £5 per bike haven’t you?

Are you running this at a loss then Pook? Even if all 40-odd turn up that won’t cover the guiding fee you promised me 😀

I thought we’d agreed payment in kind (from Hora) you cheeky scamp?

Weather report = Raining cats and dogs (and a bit of hail) atm.

there’ll be no where to park

Plenty if you park down the mainish road and are prepared to cycle up.

Or get there early.

or park in Hope like what i’m going to and ride over rushup edge and down roych clough

Looks like we’re not going to be able to make it now. 😐

Hope you all have a great ride.

Wahooooooo! Much more space on the trails for us!
MMW, bog off
NBT’s guiding fee plus my attendance fee you’ll definstly be running at a loss 😉

Im up for weekend is anyone free to ride saturday, im gonna stay in or around edale area i think – if so email me

Playing cricket in Hebden Bridge old chap. And you may struggle for camping in Edale what with the folk festival…..just as a heads up for you!

@pook – yeah ive tried campsites they are all full so im sleeping in the back of the estate car for 2 nights in a carpark somewhere – what the hell its bigger than my tent anyhow so i could be pretty tired by sunday

you’ll probably still be faster than the rest of us!

I’m riding in Hebden on Sat morning. Two weeks after I last rode there and had to peel off back to the car (then started being sick gggrrrrr).

Another two bods here. See you all on Sunday morning.

Ah, now it makes sense – i’d often pondered how it was labelled as ‘Pook’s Peaks Pootle’ when clearly it is mapped out by nbt 🙂

Cut price alternative, better route guaranteed, much faster and only four quid a head with free Smarties. Badly Wired Blasts, register here 😉

ps: ‘much faster’ in this context means back before last orders…

I’m executive consultant to the franchised pootles. I’m colonel sanders.

Didn’t you die in 1980? I bet you whiff a bit now…

For those who are wondering which of their many bikes to bring (yes tollah I’m looking at you):- while you can ride (and I have ridden) singlespeed on the planned route, on this occasion I shall be packing fitness and skills.

HTH

I’ll try and make it

It’s about 10 mins ride from my house, so I’d better pull my finger out

@nbt, people ride SS? I thought they just talked about it!
I’ll be bringing 18gears and packing 6inches 😉

I’ll be bringing 18gears and packing 6inches

Quite glad that we can’t make it now as I won’t have to look at the creaky/ugly/fall apart/puncture every ride bike.

i’d bring a kite, 40mph gusts forecast

[quoted I shall be packing fitness and skills.[/quote]
I’ll be bringing my one and olny bike, might even remember to make and bring a cake. However, I always forget to pack the above 😉

makes mental note to bring clean dry change of clothes as well……..!

Quite glad that we can’t make it now as I won’t have to look at the creaky/ugly/fall apart/puncture every ride bike.

Here let me put this right for you:

Maxxis Dual Ply now fitted 😆

Does this mean the next ride we go on we won’t have keep laughing at you throwing your pump/tube/wheel into a hedge. 😆

I’m bringing ginger cake.
