Not tonight just got Mrs B home from hospital on nursing duties now. Take care HB gang if going down Shropshire I went down yesterday from Gadding side it was a bit muddy and icy especially near the big drop, hopefully back on MNPR next week.

Maybe do some of the more esoteric descents.

Hmm anything like last time (Tod ride) down the front of the pike, then the sheep trail, some of us are mortal beings especially me :-)

Got one already and walked and biked over 90% off it

I can’t make it either had to work today and not likely to finish late, next week also taking Mrs B to hospital.

I’ve found one with a 21″ TT that I may be able to get through a C2W scheme

I’ll look forward to seeing your commute to work PB’s on strava. :wink:

Thanks Bregante, WW’s been in touch by email and advised, I just remembered seeing ADT last night. Someone coming tomorrow with more cameras than the BBC and alarms louder than a hope freewheel

Hi Which one of the guys does security just got home to find we been burgled just need a pointer in the right direction for a system.

Agree with WW good ride always need a bit of up and down along with the flat.

Be sure to check the date!

It is Monday yesterday isn’t it :wink:

I and a mate from work will be there.

I really should check the dates of these events and what todays date is, its very quiet in Ramsbottom around 8-45, anyhow as much as I would like to support MNPR on the 11th I am doing another charity bike ride pre booked. I have left a donation on WW’s just giving page and if Binners has any prints left over (doubtful I know) I would gladly take one off his hands for another donation.

Sat here in eye hospital with mrs B envious of you all going up the Coal Road. At least I got out round Mordor earlier, enjoy, hope pubs open this time.

Saw it last week too :-)

I definitely wont be there I have to take Mrs B to the eye hospital in Manchester 6-00pm.

Events are conspiring against me I’ll have to give it a miss

I’ll slow em up for you Dazh, can’t suffer being a Susan again. No mercy that HtS, but everyone followed my lead last week. :-)

No mag no crayons and I live 400 yards from Singletrack’s offices :cry:

Sat here this afternoon on my day off, feet itching, couldn’t wait until 8-15, so I’ve gone out in the sunshine around the pike, just got back.
If I had the youth of Dazh and the stamina of Terrahawk I’d do the MNPR as well, but I haven’t so see you next week, unless the sun shines again.

I’ll be there, but it’ll be on the 24th of August :wink:

Just finished putting the boat away, having a beer under the Acropolis in 42 degrees bloody hot 8) Due home Sunday hopefully make it on Monday especially as it’s local.

Sailing island to Island where ever the wind blows best, we have to replenish vital supplies beer crisps and so forth ( not too dissimilar to the MNPR really) we get sporadic internet so try too keep up to date. Looks like I missed another Exocet fuelled ride last week, hope WW is feeling a little less despondent after his break in. Nice artwork from Binners again, hope the sun shines later for you all.

Still in Greece sailing north to the sardonic gulf gutted I’ll miss rivi but it’s a hard life

I’ll have to miss tonight Mrs B has a hospital appointment after tea, quickly check insurance policies

A good ride last night glad I made the effort even met Hora even though he pretended to be someone else in the car park. Hope the casualties are feeling better this morning. Nightmares last night I seem to have distant recall of stupidly offering to do a 24hr event with team Binners.

Bregante not sure but was it the spline on your cranks that was the problem. I have a newish XT double with 24 38 rings if any good to keep you mobile until your spares arrive. You could put your existing rings on if cranks suitable.

Looking forward to a nice and slow bimble round the woods.

Bimble obviously means something different out of Yorkshire the way we were out of the gate at the church like Exocet missiles The absentee list that were obviously in the know only confirms this.
This was a top ride thanks to our guide once more.

Planning to go at the moment I can throw the towball rack in the back

Some of us came down with swamp fever but the blame was put on vintage haribos :cry:

Cheers much appreciated as it’s a lot of effort to organise I’ll be on the 20M, 30M split point, then sweeping up the 20M hope the wind dies it was a bit character building today

No long course same as usual

There’s always been plenty of spaces on the day it won’t be a problem just to advise its not in Halifax but around Hebden Widdup over to Wycoller by way of the MTL and Pennines Bridleway north on the 30M and around Hebden Midgely moor Thornten moor for the 20M route.

I doth my cap to fearless 3 8) after a soaking walking the dogs I couldn’t face another one in the forecasted deluge not even for Black Wytch. If any of you need to make up for last night the Halifax sailing club MTB challenge is on this coming Sunday which I’ll be marking out on Saturday and sweeping up on Sunday all welcome plenty of cakes. The forecast looks good.

Senior moment 18-45 it is room for one more if anyone else fro Tod needs a lift

I’ll pick you up at the Masons no problem it about an hours drive (for me anyway) so about 19-45 be OK give us time to load up.

Dahz I can put the tow ball rack on mine and pick you up

I recently turned 60 and had to have 3 months of following an operation been back riding for 6 weeks but can’t seem to get back to the fitness I had like a lot of others I can do distance but only steady. At 57 I’d have been up at the front on the steep hills but now resigned to being middle to back.

Oh or maybe I won’t don’t think of these thing after a certain age

30 miles+ is bit too much for me at the moment I’ll give it miss might see what Binners is up to in Hebden

I assume if a mate turned them they are bushes, a good place to look is bearingboys the have a great stock of off the shelf bushes if you know the diameters required. I’ve used these and Igus for my replacements on the Cotic

Light charged chain lubed all ready then emergency have to take granddaughter to A & E. Sorry I was hoping to fill the vacant rear gunners position have good one and hope the beers on form.
