Me

Me and 3 others. But retiring at belmont for an afternoon on the piss 🙂

Me + Craig…still working on others from Darlo 😕

I am

All being well i'll be joining you all if thats OK???

Maybe one more with me as well..

How long do you reckon the route will take??

don't think so as i'll be rougher than tarzans feet sunday!!! 😆

im tempted, would i keep up on singlespeed? lowey is John coming?

Last I heard he was mate. The pace is very relaxed, you'll be fine.

JxL unless you've been slobbed out on the couch chugging down pie and chips since last summer I'm sure you'll be fine. May have to push 1 or 2 climbs if you're out of practice but I'm sure you'll have company.

I'm in, has lowey booked the weather?

What time are you planing to at rigington? and what is the planed route roughly?

Also are you thinking of taking in the Healey Nab Trail?

I think i may meet you one the trail somewhere…

Thats me bolloxed then.

Me and my other half will venture out with you guys.

Possibly. As I live in Belmont, it would be rude not to…

Oh, and is there anyone going through Belmont to give a lift? Seems a bit silly me either driving over there only to ride past my house back to the car later, or doing half the ride first over Great Hill and down to White Coppice

we'll be riding from astley Bridge in the morning, and then stopping at the Belmont Bull having a few in the afternoon.

You doing your ride with this lot Wors, or doing your own thing?

With this lot, i'll be with Lowey off here heading over in the morning.

i think i'm going to be along with two more 😆

having a few in the afternoon.

Zokes… we are setting off from Sharples around 8ish, up winter hill, down the shoulder, Belmont road, Ice Cream Run, anglezarke, healy nab and onto Botany Bay to meet everyone. We are then riding back with them as far as Belmont, but we are then stopping in the Bull all afternoon on the piss.

Rightho. What's your eta at the foot of the shoulder on Belmont Rd? My plan for getting there was going to be winch up sheephouse, over spitler's edge, down to white coppice, but happy to follow you guys…

Spitlers would be a bof fest at the moment mate. I reckon we will be Here at about 9.15 ish. We may, depending on the weather, cut down Lead mines rather than the ICR, but will play it by ear.

Email me your mobile and I can always txt you on the way over.

No you will die dont listen to DONK remember how fit he is he took me out for a gentle bimble at weekend 30 miles on SS and 4000ft climbing the b@stard
Mos of it will be rideable except the steep bits but you should keep up but if you have been off all winter it might hurt a bit but you are young and it will make the fat overweight biffers feeld superior when you struggle
Yes I coming assuming my ex-wife does not change childcare arrangements will be arriving by boat

Sounds good to me. Can you email me your contact details then I can let you know if I'm coming? I've not sanctioned this with the home office yet….

but you are young and it will make the fat overweight biffers feeld superior when you struggle

good old Jonny, glad to see you are adopting the politically correct stance again 😆

will be arriving by boat

still think you avin me on with this boat thing.

does it have ladies in bikinis draped over the bow like the piccie in the last post?

Junkyard soon after arrival

it is much more like the Lowey picture sadly

The pub has been informed of our arrival and has thankfully advised that they have plenty of Bank Top on tap.

Jobs a Good 'un.

Excelenté!

plenty of Bank Top on tap

Climbing back over Belmont Road and down the ICR Pi$$ed, that should be good. 😆

I live in Belmont 😆

I live in Belmont

Cool so you get to do the ICR pissed up then you can go up AICR, hole int wall and get to do san marino again on your way home. Lucky fella

Or I could just stagger the 50 yards it is from Alan's fine establishment back to my house 💡

Lowey your going to be cutting it fine, or have you been time trial training? 😆

Piss it mate. 2 hrs to botany bay ? No worries.

he's got a good lead man! 8)

Lowey not sure which way I'm riding over yet but I'm sure at some point our paths will cross around rivi/WH, will you have your moby with you? I might give you a shout.

Yes mate. Thought you were driving over ?

Anyway, we are setting off from Sharples at 7.45. Up coal pit to Winter hill, then straight off the shoulder, meeting Zokes for 9-9.15, down the Ice cream run, then road over to Botany Bay, with the exception of the Singletrack around Anglezarke reservoir.

Right so 9.30 at Bottany Bay then? Weather is looking good!

Haven't ridden since september 2009, gonna be tough 🙂

P.S John is your phone working?? 🙂
