Looking again, you’re right. It was posted on Facebook by Doncaster RL club.

I liked their comeback though.

I’ll be there.

I’m in.

I’m a dick. After getting the meeting point in Rammy wrong, I then misunderstood Binners re route idea. Apologies if I caused the Rammy lot to be late.

See you next week (hopefully)

I was exactly a week after mine. Everyone was seeing how much I was wincing. No problem though as long as you don’t nip em against the seat.

Binners, you fancy riding there?

I’ll be coming, see you Monday.

I’m still riding.

I’ll be there

Binners, Just some shimano deore ones. It’s all I can stretch to until the wife goes back to work. DJ said the lever is goosed, that’s both brakes bust within 12 months.

My new brakes are here. Should mean there wont be so many squeaky bum moments this week.

I’ll be there whether my new brakes arrive or not.

Two of us from Rammy are coming down.

I’m in.

hallz, I was very nearly with you until I checked the start time at 7pm.

Good ride though, even without much rear brake.

It’s only a shower. It’ll be reet.

BBC weather says no rain after 6/7pm. Whether I believe that or not is another matter.

Binners, I’ve just googled small block 8’s. Yes, you will meet your end on the roots. Remind me to go before you. It was too close when you last came off when I was following.

I’m in. Bike will be all back together

I’m still in athough both my body and bike are in bits after Antur Stiniog today.
Rear mech snapped
Chain bent (somehow half of it flipped over 180 degrees)
Oil leak on forks

Anyone know where I can get a xt mech from tomorrow? Have one reserved at leisure lakes but its a bit dear.

At least my legs would be warmed up for the coal road. I’ll let you know if I can get out early. You’ll have to tell Lee we are setting off 1 1/2 early for him to be ready 😉

I’ll be there.

Binners, I take it we’re riding up?

Whoa there Binners. First I’ve heard we might be riding over? Quite liked my car journey home last week.

I’ll be there.

Good ride apart from the midges.

Plums are intact so that’s a bonus.

I think I’ll tape my plums up. Do you think that will help?

Been down this morning. Got a couple for later.

Best type of festival.

As Binners said, a delicate procedure this afternoon prevented me from cycling. They’re not as bad as I thought though, should be good for next week.

I’m one of the rebrobates from Rammy, I’ll be attending both.

Born in Batley
Raised in Batley
Live in Ramsbottom
Would never move back to Batley.

I only came across ice once I turned into the works drive (after a 40 mile commute), I then used the car to open the gates A Team style.

Yeah nice run down there. Might be better next time when I should be able to feel my feet.

Enjoyed today (mostly) that road climb with Binners was interesting. First and last time I bail early and follow him.

You may get away with it. Its looking far less apocalyptic than it was an hour ago

Cheers. Just missed it last night. Took one of our suppliers 6hrs from York to Morecambe later on last night.

EDIT: you should see the colour of the sky over here at the moment. It looks like the end of the world!! Double EEK!

Binners, can you keep me updated on the weather over there please?
I have to get over the Pennines on my commute back to Rammy.

Binners

I’d see something similar if it wasn’t dark when I set off on a morning.

Best thing about the north for me is it’s mainly Rugby league rather than kick & clap.

I’ll be there if I can get back from visiting family in time.

Would this be suitable for a fat unfit sod like me?

dontdropthesoap – Its called Moby’s. Its on Bolton Road. Looks very nice indeed, and I’ve heard good reports

I’ve only had them once from there. They we’re nice although we prefer the one near bargain booze.

There’s a new chippy just opened down the road from us. Yay!! I’ve heard very good things. We shall be sampling its delights at the weekend. How exciting!

Which one is that, Binners?
