[Closed] MNPR Monday 26th – Meeting Nice New People And Taking Them Out Edition

Who grassed me up?  I didn't mean it, I don't even ride bikes really.

Yes I did strike it lucky with the mega sack and will be visiting STW to collect the goodies.  As I'm in the area I thought it would be nice to meet some of the MNPRers and see what proper mountain biking is all about (I'm a southern shandy drinker, it's all flat down here).  Doesn't have to start at Todmorden, I'm travelling so many miles a few more won't hurt.

Todmorden is quite remote. So on that basis we should stick with it.

...and Hannah grassed you up.

You'll be fine, there's no hills in Todmorden, nope, definitely not. 😀

I'm in, provided I survive the last few days of this ski trip in one piece.

Count me in, as long as I can sort out my rear mech before then.

You'll probably be able to pinch a new one from his car later on.

You'l love the golden lion.

Just remember they can smell your fear.

Ps how tall are you  no reason just asking

Golden Lion?

I hope you can play the banjo, or have a purdy mouth!

If not, they will make you dance.

Genius work there Binners.

Best delete it from your hard drive though.

I hope you can play the banjo, or have a purdy mouth!

Nope, can't even squeal like a pig.....as far as I know

Crack the code...
MNPR is....

Last time we were in the Golden Lion there was a 70s disco with commentary peanuts.

I'm in, any ride that doesn't involve a drive, and I'm always in 🙂

P.

I know there's a lot of bacteria on nuts but how bad must it be if they can speak

Good spot Dunc... damn you auto text!

How will I spot you all, is there a code word? Or will the bikes and cycle helmets be the giveaway?

if they are a skinny racing snakes ....thats a different group

You've picked the wrong route!

Your visitor would enjoy seeing Scotsmans Stump near the San Marino descent. It's a memorial to a traveller from distant lands, cruelly robbed and murdered up on the moors by local ruffians . . .

Right, I checked out two routes today. Both involve bloody big hills and big descents. One involves some rocks, the other a bog. Take your pick 🙂

Given the almost perfect conditions I think recreating Binners poster in real life will be the best idea.

I was just going to tag along on whatever the ride was this week and now everyone wants to bury me in a shallow grave before I've even arrived😯

I'm actually staying in Rochdale, thought that was near the epicentre of your usual rides (don't come looking, I'm hiding)

Pah, amateurs. No quicklime in the “to bring” list. I on the other hand have a plastic lined room and 9 hungry pigs! 😉

Seen as it’s local I might join in...

I’m actually staying in Rochdale

Surely this is the sort of thing only said by someone who has never been to Rochdale before. Has anyone heard from RB this morning or do I need to re-draw the mega sack?

Alive and well in Rochdale, sack collection imminent😀

What can I say about Rochdale, it was cheap and conveniently located. Best Western is at most only 50% true and it isn't all that western

LOL. That caption wouldnt have worked with Falinge flats. (Oh and I like how you photo-shopped some Sun in).

I'm not going to make it to the ritual killing tonight I'm afraid chaps. My totally knackered knee really doesn't like sub-zero temperatures and pretty much seizes up now in this weather. I'm falling apart basically. When is spring finally going to turn up? 🙁

Susan

That's not sun, it's where the foil has peeled off the windows of a grow room.

I'm out too. I did a 2 hour "Senior Grades" Karate course yesterday and as a result my battered body has seized up.

It feels like I've done 10,000,000 press ups. Probably because I did 10,000,000 press ups. Everything aches. If I had hair that would ache too.

Susan-San.

I'm in!

I’m not going to make it tonight either. Enjoy.

Is this the alibi or you really bailing🤔

</div>

I'll be there

I'm in.

Looking forward to it

Me too. See you shortly...

Rich

A possible broken wrist and a sprained ankle. Think we might have got off lightly there. That ice was somewhat lethal. Hope the wounds heal soon.

Medicinal beer n drugs. It's sore. As are my ribs. Epic fail

Who did an ankle?

Sounds like a right old larf.

It was somewhat eventful. My pedal fell off at the top of the techy descent. Still, at least no one fell off the cliff 🙂

Thanks for your hospitality MNPRers, was quite an action packed ride 🙂  Hope no one hurts too much

Shame not to meet Binners or Harry_the Spider but I guess they say you should never meet your heroes anyway.

I'm now safely back in the south where it is a toasty -5

My pedal fell off at the top of the techy descent

Was it any easier one legged?  I struggled with two

Hope you're feeling better Dunc.

Shame not to meet Binners or Harry_the Spider but I guess they say you should never meet your heroes anyway.

Correct. We're a huge disappointment.

Swellings down still a bit tender it's my rib that's more sore.

Ach well gotta fall off now n again...

Your wrist looked worryingly swollen.  Rib will be fine just don't laugh, sneeze or cough.
