I am happy to 'host' a forum mountain bike/cx ride. It'll be on the West Pennine moors - Darwen, Ramsbottom, Rivington areas. If anyone fancies it then please let me know and I will put the wheels in motion (see what I did there? :)) and sort a date out.
If I'm not working I'm up for it fishbulb.
Yeah, me too! Always fancied a ride out on the West Pennine moors :)Quote:

Around Haslingden and Winter Hill. Its very boring and the hills arent real :DQuote:

Here's a mad idea if the weather is nice. How about everybody who is coming brings summat to sling on the Barbecue and we have a meal after at ours? Ride will last, say, 3 to 4 hours at an easy pace and then a bit of a sit down and a yap after.
Sounds good. Have you any dates in mind................?
I'm with Ady, think it sounds a cracking idea :cool:Quote:

That's a bit of a shame as I was kind of thinking then, meself.
I would like to get down for a stage of the TDG but I think it's a little too far to go for just a days ride and Darwen is much nearer!!
Just ordered an Orange P7 one today, won't be ready till mid July:(
Could come on my crosser though:)
Crossers welcome!! Are we going to proceed with 11/12 July and H can come along next time? :)Quote:

So, who is in then?
Me
Ady
Derby Tupp
Merrylegs
Possibly me.
Third time lucky, I hope? Pitty you are ging for that weekend, but I can't do it all and would probably find it hard to get other weekends off anyway, so enjoy! :)Quote:

Any more for any more?
No can do for this one. Pain awaits me at Wasdale that weekend:(
Hope we can get another in before the end of Summer.
Are you coming up then Dom? It's grand up north!
Oh, he's been oop North - just the 'wrong' side of the Pennines! ;)
Are you going to pm your address or suggested start point fishbulb? I have a social event that involves drinking large volumes of beer and sleeping in a field the night before so hope we're not setting off too soon :)
Route map/itenerary/menu?
:)
Been away for a long w/end.
I will PM all participants more details but basically the plan is to KO from my house at about 9.00am Sunday. Ride localish loop for approx 3 to 4 hrs then back to ours and stick bits of dead animals on barbecue, drink beer if not driving, kick back and relax in the glorious sunshine (fingers crossed).
I'll be there. PM me you address. I'll bring some dead meat and stuff round in the car on Saturday so I can stick to just the 2 wheels Sunday!
PM's sent. Roll on the weekend! :)
Have to give this a miss, have pm'ed fishbulb with the sad news:(Quote:
