Hora is taking everyone on his favourite route, then buying everyone a pint in the pub afterwards

We've not been over Darwen way for a while. There was talk of a start from the Royal in Tockholes. Any of the locals want to volunteer for route guiding duties? If not, I know it well enough to put a route together

Apart from a couple of existing diary entries, I've promised not to plan any trips out until the decorating in the front room is complete. This sounds like a candidate for Man Card revocation I know, but it will provide the impetus I need to get the job done.

See you after Christmas. 😀

I should be there on the 1st. I've sent a text to Mr Sparkle in case he's free on Monday and can lead us on a merry dance around Darwen.

Darwen's another place I've not had the pleasure of yet so sounds like a good plan.

For future dates, If anyone fancies a trip over the border I think I know the Todmorden stuff well enough now to put something together. Although I'm sure the other Tod/Walsden people will probably do a better job.

Might be able to make this one, will check to make sure no other commitments first.
If Mr Sparkle is not available I am sure I can find you some decent tracks around my Home Turf.
Let me know the distances you usually do on a Monday and I will put something together. Not sure the Royal is open on a Monday will check this out, if not then we can start from the Sunnyhurst Pub and have a few Real Ales after 😀

*Checks date.

*Concludes that binners' comment is 7 months early.

Oh and with regards to Monday, put me down as an unlikely.

How about the Ainsworth Arms at the top of Halliwell Road in Bolton ? Go up winter Hill and back down again. It's serves lovely beer there. Yum yum .

Can we do that next week?

I've had 4 weeks off and the prospect of Winter Hill on legs full of beer and cream teas isn't particularly appealing.

Bringing up my tea would be closer to reality I suspect.

The mind is willing but I'm afraid the body is unlikely to make it tomorrow 🙁

I think that the plan (such as it is) is to meet at [url= http://www.bing.com/local?lid=YN1063x230070231&id=YN1063x230070231&q=The+Church+Inn+Manchester+Greater+Manchester ]The Church[/url] at 8.15.

Theres plenty of decent stuff round there, especially if we have a run up the valley. Then a pint in the Church afterwards

I think I'm going to have to have a tyre change before this evening. I reckon the Small Block 8's would be suitably suicidal given the amount of rain its put down

I was hoping to make it today, but won't now. 🙁

might bring the Demo up next Monday for one final Strava fest on San Marino.

Got my time down to 3.02 2 weeks ago. 🙂

Not out tonight unfortunately. The Mrs is still laid up with a malfunctional knee and it's the kids first day at the new school tomorrow so I'm on dad duties.

Back next week...

'Twas indeed a good 'un! The summer suicide tyres are coming off tomorrow. I was like Bambi on ice round there tonight!

Just eaten my own body weight in cheese on toast with Worcester sauce though. Every cloud.... 😀
