Aiiit!
Bugger won't be here for this one.
You riding this weekend?
Bump.
You know, I might put in an apperarance for this. I'll have to check with Mission Contol that we aren't busy first, mind.... 🙂
Route is about 25miles and the pace will be super social 😉
Innit
Is it a condition of riding that only cars with bikes on the roof are allowed in the car park ❓ 😕
Shall try and put in an appearance for this one I think...

Oh great
Oh great
Or not if I'm gonna be made to feel that welcome! 😕
Riding Cwmcarn sorry old chap. Maybe in Jan/Feb
[i]the pace will be super social [/i]
Damn straight. Hip flasks welcome. In fact, mandatory 🙂
i'm remaining non commital until i know what happens to me after Belgium and it's beer the days before
I have never ridden that neck of the woods. If I can get someone to look in on my dogs I would love to check it out. Might be able to bring along a couple of others, too. ?
The pace will be super social? is that what it is called nowadays 🙄
is skill optional?
That is Nettles shots off up the road at time trial pace,
then dies. 😆
No skill needed as it'll give me something to take pics of!
Like the idea ihn booze or Xmas snacks a must!
two more here , over biked and under skilled 😆
Don't forget the port the CB!
[i]That is Nettles shots off up the road at time trial pace,

I'm quite sure that I have no idea about which you speak 😳
can i gently toss my hat into the ring for this one? If i'm free.....
I'll be up for some hardcore 'pie mincing'.....
Of course you can TM catch up Sat night 🙂
Bump.
I will try, but Mission Control also manages my destiny.
ok 2 defo here!
should we bring anything? (bikes for example)
should we bring anything?
Hip Flasks?
One thing to note guys [b]If[/b] you have a roof mounted bike carrier there is normally a low bar over the car park you'll have to unload your bikes before driving under as I really wouldn't want to wet myself laughing before a long ride 😉
Hmmmmmmm. I think this could be an opportunity for the South Manchester Massive to head south. But what would happen if you get two Massives in the same place? Could we reach some type of critical mass?
Our combined mass would nearly equal the mass of the Wok on explosion in spaghetti factory, me thinks 😉
Should be along for a plod if I can walk by then. Both ankles and knees have mysteriously locked up. Keep thinking why her indoors has put a sledge hammer and piece of 2x4 at the end of the bed. Must be for some building work she has planned for me 😯
Both ankles and knees have mysteriously locked up
Thats because you ride a clown bike with gears attached!
And you sir ride a non standard, non clown, tea towel rail and are therefore a gheyman of a higher caliber than is safe to mention without wearing lockable pants.
😉
See. That wink right there. That's what I'm talking about. Be warned everyone. He's an out of control gheyman hunting for ghey fun.
LOL
I will be there (In the car) dont want a pop top camper 😉
Cheezy i have your top XL ok ?
If cheesy is only a large, I'll have the XL. What top is it. It must be niche if you've bought it J ❓
Hip Flasks?
I was actually considering alcohol as a skill boosing aid; after all it makes me better at darts...
Aaaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh no can do, at the outlaws down in the suummerset! Have a good one peoples 😛
Boooooo
It so non niche i got it for free does that make it niche ?
Only the free can call them selves truly niche. Or just scavs 😉
Bumpety bump
Looks like i will be there as well. I do like the tea towel bike frame from Sheldon.
That would be good Gilles, I may have my teatowel rail with me that day too 🙂
You better had dont want to be niched up and all alone 😀
Si
Will it be alright to bring a couple of mates along to this? Both fairly new riders, though they certainly wouldn't struggle for pace if it's just a social ride... Just wanted to check as it's only polite!
Aye, more the merrier

Will it be alright to bring a couple of mates
How much is the hire of them costing you 😉
Let hope he's not paying by the hour as I'll make the route longer and harder 🙂
You wont need to. 😀
WTF has need got to do with anything!
Ok, you wont have to.
Depends on mud kos if it's muddy the Spot will be out!
Swede, good point!
How much is the hire of them costing you
A lot less than your last experiment with your local rent boy... 😉
Let hope he's not paying by the hour as I'll make the route longer and harder
Flat fee I'm afraid, I know how to barter a good deal and get my money's worth! 😉
Never managed to make one of these rides before, which is a shame as I live in the area, however I will be around on the 30th so plan to come along.
Any clues on the route ? I may get dropped off at Kilkenny but live in Nailsworth, so if the route heads over that way I could save 20 miles.
We won't be going near Nailsworth but you're more than welcome as long as you don't need to rent your friends like Riggsy above.
Depends on mud kos if it's muddy the Spot will be out!
That routes only muddy once per year ... from November till April 😉
Me and MrsSSP might be along 🙂
SSP
Strangers 😉
I really should check STW more often - found out about this last night and have a pass to join you mugs for a day out riding the super groomed Cotswold trail centre trails!
Sheldon / Nettles - Thinking about inviting a mate who's new to riding - how socialable is super social pace?
If Sheldons comming it'll be super sociable 😀
If I carry on eating at this rate, most of my saddle will disappear when I mount my bike...25 miles might seem hard work 🙂
Hi, Should be able to make this one, never been to the Cotswolds before so looking forward to it. Sadly, the only thing I have that would be niche enough is a road bike. It would be a laugh off road though 🙂
Probably a goodchoice for the mud!!!!!
Barney, no probs mate I'm fat and slow!
LOL - That's like saying I'm bald! Known it for years!
Right then, it's only three days away, any more?
I might come along with the white shoe racer.
As long as none of the other Knights Of Niche are there.
It's uncool to all be seen together....
Aye oop chaps
Is this still on for tomorrow then? What are the conditions like?
I'm thinking of driving from manchester in the morning. IHN - any chance you could mail me a contact phone number on binandbop AT hotmail DOT com. As I'll decide in the morning depending on the weather (NB: I've had 2 pretty big offs riding in the ice over the last week. As the bruises on my legs bare testmony too)
Thats if I'm allowed to come. My bikes not even remotely niche. Could someone lend me a titanium singlespeed 29er please?
Actually... on second thoughts... don't! 😉
Will I get run out of town if I turn up with a Clown bike with GPS attatched?
Its wet in Gloucester right now. Inital forcast was snow but that might have changed to heavy rain now.
hmm Which eyewear for Turkey Burner?
YGM Binners
To be fair, you may well be the only one on a 26" wheeled, 27 geared aluminium full susser, so you'll be entirely niche.
*whispers* You're not bringing Hora, are you?
To be fair, you may well be the only one on a 26" wheeled, 27 geared aluminium full susser, so you'll be entirely niche.
Alas no..There are [i]three[/i] of us..All packing 5 inches
(Although for the riding I am capable of, 1/2" would be more than sufficient)
This is going to be a leisurely ride isn't it... not only am I really not fit at the moment, I'm recovering from a chest cold and will more than likely be hungover 🙂
This is going to be a leisurely ride isn't it.
If wokboy's leading it and how slow he was yeterday is anything to go by you'll be able to walk round faster. 😉
'splosions right I've got a bout of manflu so pace will be slower than average. I may even have to resort to bringing a niche 27speed hardtail!
I've got a bout of manflu
I think you've given it to me too.
Mandi has now got it but she only has a wee cough!
Paddi has dogmanfluattentionwhorism.
LOL at Paddi.
He needs to DTFU.
LOL, he does? His paws are saw after running round the Climax then going for a long swim ;-0
