*subject to the motorway situation.

Think we'll do a new route this time too. 🙂

*subject to the motorway situation.

Motorway is up to 4 lanes and is flowing like "sh1t through a goose".

I'm oot

Got manflu of epic proprtions

Anyone fancy Spin at altitude one night

A new route! Intriguing, I'll do my best to drag myself off the sofa for this.

Parking is all street based so please be considerate.

If you head up the hill a hundred yards or so there was tons of space on the left by the building site last time.

I fancy trying the spin at altitude but I’m not sure I have a free night. Are you thinking of a Monday instead of MNPR?

Can do I'd need 8 too fill it.

A new route! Intriguing

Well not that new. A new start to something we've done before. Different ascent, same descent. Not Mordor BTW.

I'll be there

Lights on charge and chainset spinning freely. Barring some sort of disaster, I'll be there.

Have fun chaps. I am still off work. Think it's morphed into dengue fever

Still recovering from Tonsillitis but hope to join you guys in the coming weeks 🙂

Durty durty boy

Forecast is for fog. Lights might not be that useful. It'll be good navigation practice though 😀

Afternoon All and Happy New Year, I am intending to make a return tonight after more than a year off. I don't recognise this pub, last time I went here with MNPR it was the Wine Press. Anyway, honest question, are there any slowcoaches going as I my concern holding up the group on those muddy ascents? Gavin (from Sale)

We dumped the Wine Press due to it having and a***hole for a manager. Red Lion is further down the road, at the junction where the Hollingworth Lake road meets the A58. Good to have you back. Don't worry about being slow, although be warned this is probably one of the hillier ones.

CBA going far tonight so I might do a short ride locally. Not had my bike out in 2018 yet. See you next week.

Hi Gavin! Welcome back!

I'm still coughing up razor blades, so I'm oot.

Happy New Year all

I'm hoping to make it tonight if I can get out of work on time

@gmurphy1975 I'm a slowcoach so you can keep me company at the back 😉

Cheers

Rich

Not joining you tonight chaps as being a self-employed layabout, laden down with even more pies and beer than usual, I've been out for a spin this afternoon 😀

Good to have you back Gav. We thought you'd been abducted by aliens. I'll be joining you to bring up the rear soon (though not next week, as I'm at the footy)

I'd wrap up warm tonight chaps. It was effing freezing out there this afternoon. It'll be Baltic up there tonight! Have a good'un! 😀

We thought you'd been abducted by aliens.

He was. They gave him back.

Out. Mrs B still at work. 🙄

Cheers all. 11 people on a dark, cold, windy, foggy evening with ice on the ground was a pretty remarkable turnout considering many of the usual suspects were absent. There is hope for us yet.

Next week TBC. Feel free to propose something 🙂

Nice one Daz enjoyed that last night.

Very enjoyable, the longest 8 miles I have ever done. Thanks Daz. Cheers All, Gav

Great ride last night, really enjoyed it 😀 .Cheers all
