Is it a condition of riding that only cars with bikes on the roof are allowed in the car park ❓ 😕

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 😯

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.

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!

A lot less than your last experiment with your local rent boy... 😉

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.

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 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 🙂

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)

Actually... on second thoughts... don't! 😉

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?

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)
