Woody’s Urban Pootle – 26/2/2011

Meet 10am @ St Chad’s School, Upper Green Lane, Brighouse HD6 2PA. 5 minutes from J25 of M62. Plenty of on-street parking around and about. Coffee and Cake at mine post ride if anyone fancies it 🙂

Ride – contains high levels of cheekiness, if that kind of thing bothers you then it’s probably not for you. In it’s defence, it’s not the contentious kind of cheek, nothing sensitive etc. All manner of cut throughs, maybe a land fill site, a park or 2, the worlds steepest footpath (probably), urban woodland and heck even the odd bridleway. Nothing really technical, climbs are generally steepish but not overly long. 3 hours or so, depending on numbers.

Anyone?

As long as its not slinging it down, I’ll come along Jase. I’ll see if anymore of my lot are interested.

Nice one Dave, hopefully see you then 🙂

Oh count me in! only live up in thornton so not too far to ride to

Hi Jason, I’ll tag along again if I can ! Hope it’s better weather than the last one !

Sounds good to me… Brig’s only 30mins from me 8)

Luke – nice ride down, not sure about back up again 🙂

Robin – I’ve requested a cold day with nice frozen ground, or failing that scorchio and dry 🙂

hp – see you there!

Yes I’m in!!

whats distance , thinking ss

It’ll be 20ish miles crezzy. Prob be ok on ss if you really must 🙂

woody, i would normally jump at a opertunity like this mate.
but alas, i am not weel enough yet.
next time maybe mate.

No worries ton, hope you’re fighting fit again soon mate 🙂

whats pace like , is it all out elite or more shits and giggles

Hard to say crezzy cos we all have different ideas about pace! Definitely not all out, lungs bursting but a bit faster than pootle would be my guess 🙂

Nothing really technical, climbs are generally steepish but not overly long. 3 hours or so

😯

crezzy you need to fit a 22 cog if your SS. 😉

Monday Bump 🙂

I got all excited for a moment until I looked on a map and realised you meant north midlands rather than north north (Newcastle). 😆

Although I guess it is north of the M4 corridor so probably falls into the category of North as defined by 75% of STWers.

If you’re going to be picky, I daresay there’s plenty who would argue (arguing, on STW?!) that Newcastle isn’t really “Northern” either 🙂

Another Monday bump 🙂

I should still be there…

I,ll probably make it in between all the drinking I have to do that weekend.
Lord Leppington

One last bump 🙂

Forecast doesn’t look too bad at the moment, but we’ll see how that changes as the week goes on.

Leppy – see you there hopefully. Just you or Rose too?

I don’t expect Rose to make it as she has a lot of housework to do!

Ian, you’re a bad man 🙂

Jase, not 100% now. Will let you know ASAP.

Jason, are we riding at 10 or meeting at 10, the usual degree of faffing and setting off at 10:30ish ?

There’ll be me and t’other Jason, how many others ?

The weather doesn’t look as good as your forecast but it’ll do 🙂

Yep, still on!
See you in the morning, hoping to get going for 10ish but no doubt some faffage will occur!
Robin, I reckon there could be 8 of us but we’ll see in the morning.

Hmmmmm……. Housework to do !!!
Leppy your gonna get it !
Next time Jase
Rose
