Bring beer money, lights and all the other bits and bobs that you need for a push bike ride in the woods.
Great Minds are thinking up a new route at this very moment that may, or may not, include “Tricky Corner”, “Nob End” and “Itchy and Scratchy”.
"Not Quite Calderdale", "Surprise Fence Post", "James Mason" and "Jimmy Green Teeth" may also be included.

How could we possibly leave out The Bolton Shitworks?
I like the way they're including bits of the shitworks plumbing externally, in the surrounding woods at the moment. A bit like an avant garde coutryfied shite-filled Lloyds building
And for that reason.... I'm in!
yeah, i don't see why not. well, assuming my car doesn't fail its MOT on monday morning anyway...
Bumpetto
xherbivorex - is that bloody El Guapo of yours finished yet? You can't keep us in suspenders for much longer....

is it balls!
just need a chainring, chain and seatpost. oh, and probably new bearings/a service for my front hub too. none of which i can afford until i sell some stuff, or get paid.
end of this month and it'll be rideable.
I'm in.
Will be back on rubbish size wheels though because its true. 29" wheels really do explode!
5 rides old and I have smashed my rear hub to smithereens!!
Flows on PRO II's from now on
Me plus a couple will be there...
Roger roger on this one. Light ride in the morning, then I'll pop out after.
I'm in.
See you there.

Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it tonight chaps. After spending the weekend being coughed, sneezed and spluttered on by the flu-ridden better half, This morning I woke up with the house resembling this....
🙁
Rule 5.
Just packing my gear in the car.
Too much?

You're right. I'll leave the harpoon at home.
Blue skies round here now. Storm has passed.
Might be worth bringing the harpoon if there really are monsters in them woods...
i'm out i think. i've been feeling ropey all evening, and i've not charged my light yet either so it's best i give it a miss.
susan^
yup.
Excellent muddy slip slidy fun tonight chaps. Thanks to HtS for leading!
Yep, loved it! Really good route tonight - sure one of these days i will end up in the canal!
Cheers Harry!
Next week - [url= http://www.thestrawburyduck.co.uk/ ]Strawbury Duck[/url], Entwistle anyone? Think i may be able to wangle free chip butties for this one!
Thanks Harry, great ride, again. See you next time.
wittonweavers - Yes I'm in, see you there, what time?
Good run fellas.
I'll try and get there too if I can sort out my forks.
Handling was interesting with 5" on the back and 0.03" on the front! Thought I was going to spit my knackers out when I klunked that wet root.

I'm definitely up for the Strawberry Duck next week. I suspect the regular Rammy Posse will be too. I'll even charge my lights up this time.
Harry - haven't you just sorted the back end of that thing out? Or is it now finely balanced with nackered suspension both ends?
Thanks Andrew for some soggy, gritty fun. Oh and the hilarious 'dying of consumption' act in the pub after.

Tactical innit. Fake a near death exerience at the bar until somebody buys you a drink. 😉 Thanks Ross.
It is to do with whatever they clean the loos with. The last 3 times I have been in there have had me barking like a seal. Perhaps my subconscious is trying to impress the girl behind the bar.
Russ even. 😳

It stands more of a chance than the outside bit! 😀
