Potential Peaks Pootle…..

Shamelessly stolen from SFB- this looks lush:

That looks nice! How many are actually coming?

Anything between 5 and 30 I reckon. You don't know until the morning of the ride do you?

damnit that makes me want to go. Hora, Will – burn the route to memory please.

Decision made I'll be there. Anyone want a lift from Sheffield or offering a lift? You know in a double up and save the planet kind of way.

we won't be doing cracken edge

Any chance of your number nbt? Promise no late night heavy breathing calls 🙂 . Lost, late runners and such

ill be there as long as twang turns up to give me a lift!

Lost

What is he, your sat nav? Get a map!

late runners

Set off earlier

If anyone has a new (decent) tube spare that they could sell me tomorrow? I have one spare currently but its a Halfords own brand and I'm not too confident in how it'd perform (used my decent spare tube last Sat and I always carry two spares).

Shraeder or Presta- I can swap tubes round if I get a puncture.

hora, mtfu and use dual ply, its the future!

FIRST puncture in a year. First. FFS! I've ridden mainly the Peaks on 35psi. Laughed at others (in a good natured way)…

Then on the Dragons back, on the first smooth bit ffs. the tube just gave up in multiple places on the inside. 😆

Assuming I do actually drag myself out of bed in time I'll be there & usually have at least 2, usually more spare tubes, so shouldn't worry too much. That's not an invite to ride not carrying anything yourself though…Will…

Never would. I always have two helmets and two waterproofs in the car as well- As Pook once found out when he forgot his 😀

Stop making me jealous. now.

you not playing out sambob?

sambob you not playing? i was going to offer you my brothers big travel bike for a razz!

Hi guys. I'm coming out to play but will have to shoot off at 1 'o' clock. It's my birthday tomorrow so bring me lots of cake please! (only 42 years young before you ask!)

we're riding at 9, I reckon we'll be more or less one the way back by 1pm anyway although I will be able to extend the route if people so wish

My back is undergoing lazarus style recovery…. Beer and ibuprofen is helping…. My kit is packed… Fingers crossed I won't seize up overnight

Just checking in to see if this is still on for tomoz …and it is, great! I'll be at Sett Valley car park for 08:45 latest.

Pook – Good to see your back's healing. I'm a longterm bad back crock, mine's been OK for a while until recently so I've not ridden much in the last month. I will be the numpty at the back puffing like billy-o.

I'm out I'm afriad.
Was coming, but need to be home by 1.30 latest now, so doubt I'd make it back in time so local only for me now.
Hope you all have a good one.

nice one pook, hopefully see you in the morning

ive got some wicked painkillers, tramadol i think they are. ill bring you a couple along if you like. might make for a bit of a spaced-out ride though!

Is it sciatica Pook?

I was always able to ride with sciatica back problems but not walk (very odd). The more I exercised the better it felt.

popocatapeti – wish I'd known earlier about your birthday, then I would have made a real effort to make cake, just been a bit busy of late.

See you all tomorrow.

Hey Pook, are you under physio right now?

I may be able to help…for free 🙂

At dawn, look to the East…the red slayer 50 will signal your recovery….I've consumed a couple of glasses of red wine btw 🙂

PS: May I join in?

See you tomorrow guys! Hope the back holds up Chris!

Well if no one minds I'll show my ugly mug…..

I'll be in the Saab Estate with the black Turner, see you in the morning

Not sciatica, lifting slabs. Just a muscle pull!

I'll be ok. I think.

Love tubs saturday morning special for me! 😮

Sorry for the late post, home too late last night.
I can now make this.

Balls, wifey really tired from late shift so I'm taking the lads out so she can have a sleep – No biking for me today 🙁 🙁

Have a great day everyone, the weather looks fab for you all 🙂

Pooks, that offer still stands re: your back prob, if it's turning into a chronic problem we need to sort it 🙂

Great day, great ride, great company. Thanks to Jules for doing such a good job of guiding.

Cheers

Matt

Top top ride that was. Massively enjoyed exploring some new trails for a change. Thanks Jules for stepping in to lead – cracking route selection that.

See you all soon for the next one.

Sheffield lads – there's a few of us often get out on Wednesday night if you're about

that was fun. cheers everyone, even hora

Bit tired now, cracking day out though. We did another ace descent after you lads left us, I pinch flatted the *front* tyre. Bit of a parp moment.

Bruce suggested a Macc forest meet for a ride, good idea as I've not ridden there for two or three years now.

Good ride, knackered – manflu – longest I've speent out with the bike for a month or so. Made up for having to road it out over peep o day with a return over Mount Famine back to Chapel. Forgot to ride back at Pootle pace and was ready to fall over at Mount Famine.

Hora was the pheasant plucker rumour had him to be but jerk chicken is never going to be the same after his insights into the secret world of the chicken chaser.

Great ride, a laugh and good weather. I'm up for the next one.

Someone needs to chuck a rocket up JE James ass me thinks!

Nice to meet and ride with you all, thanks to Pook for arranging and Jules for guiding. Looking fwd to the next one.

Cheers,
Iain

Anyone fancy a pootle with a difference? Good way to hone/build my skills 🙂

and always fancied an uplift.
