[Closed] Monday Night Pub Ride - 21st December - Pint & Burger Edition

im in

can proffer a lift back to from the chorley end of bolton if some one can get us there, I have booked the O/H as my cab home 😀

Is that really the Christmas burger? Wow!

I'm in. Never managed to make any of the rides (yet) but I'm 100% at this.

..and will there be a pre-burger beer in the Church Inn?

this is the big manc with an extra paty...

[img] :large[/img]

Yeah I'm definitely in.

In!

[img] [/img]

sadly not, there's not a single thing i can eat there.
i'll sit at home alone having my own party. or something.

I'm in

Baza

Can you not have an omelette?

@binners - If you have the Jaffa Cake Ice Cream Pie for pudding and it's not [b]entirely[/b] surrounded in pastry then your pie revolution is doomed. 😉

I’m up for it (will confirm on email Craig). I’ll be driving though, so fizzy pop only for me.

You're zig-zagging-home-on a-singlespeed distance you big jessie

3 pints and I’m a mess anyway these days. 😳

Not worth feeling like crap the day after as I’ll be up at about 5:30.

bloody hell baz Rebecca isnt in work Never!

Vegantibletarian says no.

I'll probably ride up something steep in Hebden and drink beer though.

Have fun kids. Don't forget to thank your colon after.

90% in. I'll confirm tonight.

Can I go, I can take 4 from tod if we set of home before 10-30 ish

You are more than welcome yes Kev!

I'm in, as said I can take 4 from tod, littleboro or milnrow, on the way.

Definitely in.

I have a particularly intense and physically strenuous re-qualification course at 7 am on Tuesday morning.

Seriously.

I'm still bloody in though 😀

Woohoo! Got the green light, I'm in.

Will be riding up from daaarn saaaf (sale) if anyone fancies a wobble there/home

100 percent in now

Would love to come to this but have been roped into some other bit of xmas nonsense by the wife, boo. Have fun, hope it's a cracker! (See what I did there aha.)

I'm in. Can probably sort a lift out too Craig.

I think that's 16 of us. I will ring up and add an extra place.

If anyone else still fancies it then please let me know and i will try and accommodate!

Has anybody ordered the coke and hookers in yet?

If not, I'm happy too. Are there any specific niches that need catering for if I sort that out now?

. Are there any specific niches that need catering for if I sort that out now?

Nope. Anything but Cherry and that awful Vanilla flavoured crap will be fine.

We're in if we aren't already. If that makes sense...

Ride the BMX home, I can confirm that this has never resulted in disaster, ever, the disaster was the result of a localized increase in gravity inversely proportional to my ability to hop up kerbs at speed after drinking.

3 miles on a BMX with a skin full? My knees will catch fire! However, I’m sure there will be a spot of “cocking about” on it outside the pub.

Anyway, I’ve got a busy day on Tuesday, so I need to be functioning. My birthday, mad busy at work and Karate. None of which should be tackled with a hangover.

Right you lot! I have upped the booking to 20 but think i will struggle to go up any more so i think we are full.

Confirmed numbers are:

Neal, Tony & myself
Binners, Daz & Lee
Andy, Baz & Duncan
Daz, Chipps, Beate, David +1
Russ, Kev & Kai
Gaz & Steve
Mackem

If i have missed anyone then let me know asap!

Kev can I bagsy a lift from Tod?

Edit: Actually it's only a lift back I'll need as I'll be going to Prestwich straight from work in Manc.

Dazh no problem see you there. Chipps, Clover do you 2 want a lift ??

Are you sure you don't want our orders now Craig?

I mean, think of the spreadsheet opportunities!

I assume that you have sorted a seating plan and arranged the crackers so that the paper hats go in rainbow order.

Wow, they are some f***ed up rabbits!

Did you not receive the "seating plan" text HtS? 😆

I'm getting there an hour early for the full Flip Chart presentation.

Am I still OK for a lift back Dunc? Andrea can take us.

Yeah cool is there room for baz too? He lives at the bottom of my road so is on route if not I'll still get you home.

Yep there's room for Baz. email me your address and phone number and I'll pick you up around 7.15.

..all by myself...

..anyone having a pre burger beer in the church Inn?

I've designed and printed the attendance certificates for those that made the cut.

For those that didn't.... You've not just let yourselves down....

anyone having a pre burger beer in the church Inn?

I might be up for one in the church before. Depends on work though so can't guarantee it just yet. If you see someone in there wearing a montane primaloft jacket looking lonely that'll be me 🙂

I note rather ironically that the weather forecast is quite good tonight.

I note that Binners doesn't have a deadline to meet this week as well...!

I note

Of course you do..

[img] [/img]

Do we have a Susan of the year award?

Susan of the Year? I'm afraid that there really isn't any doubt who this years winner is...

Now 'tw*t of the year' is a little too close to call!

What name is it booked under? I suppose there won't be too many tables with 15 complete strangers on it though.

No, plus ours has 20 on it. Its in my name...

If you can't remember his name just look for the clipboard and hi Viz tabard.

[img] /revision/latest?cb=20150106045221[/img]

You booked it under the name wittonweavers? Did they laugh?

On the tram. Apologies in advance for my inebriation. It's Christmas and my work is full of alcoholics.

I was wondering to ask for Witton, weaver or Lard.

Well that was pretty good. Thanks for sorting it Craig.

Oh... and Hans Rey turned up.

Oh... and Hans Rey turned up.

So I see. And my missus's mate, who I was ordered to bail out on this for didn't. ****. Turn. Up.

🙄

Glad you all had a good time, see you in the new year.

Cracking night. Thanks for sorting HtS/Craig. The Strava top trumps was very entertaining.

I suspect I'll be playing my own version of Top Trumps in the morning.

Deep fried sprouts on your Christmas burger sir?

Oh and Hans Rey really did turn up 8) 8) 8)

No way!

Indeed

I went a bit giggly girlie with Hans Rey. Sorry.

Cheers Craig. That burger I ate was stupid.

Hans Ray - legend. Well I stopped in and watched telly with my mrs, so I think we really know who wins here.

Absolutely cracking night! Thanks Craig. And Mrs B has been giving me the 'yes dear' treatment as I get giddy telling her I've just had me tea with Hans Rey. HANS ****ING REY!!!! 🙂

The best bit was when Hans(first name terms now) came manualling into the restaurant with 15 burgers balanced on his front wheel and then flicked them all onto everyone's plate. Damn cool.

I'm now downstairs on the sofa bed because....

a) my enthusiastic telling of how I've just had my tea with a mountain biking legend has woken the youngest up.

b) some of the sprouts may be starting to ferment already 😛 .

bleep test in 7hrs 38 mins. I may be able to rely on jet propulsion.

and Hans Rey turned up.

I've just spent the last half hour showing the Mrs various youtube videos to justify my excitement. Bit start-struck to be honest.

So. Much. Meat...

And that was just the gents sat around the table 😉

Great to see you all. Thanks for making the gatecrasher feel welcome. 🙂

Less Susanning in 2016 is already my motto.

Having told her that it's like Eric Cantona turning up for your 5 a side teams christmas do, she's still got that look on her face that's only slightly more pity than contempt.

There has also been forced YouTube viewing 🙂

Glad it wasn't just me on YouTube going see its him he's famous just cos you ain't heard of him.

Top night out folks. The irony was it was the best weather on a Monday night in weeks...

Cracking night that fellas!

Solitas was good - despite a shaky start at the bar downstairs! Burgers were great. Didn't have the Christmas burger but the lack of sprouts hasn't prevented a windy night!

Mrs WW remains unconvinced about Hans and tbh i'm not 100% sure that she feels the need to be convinced either! Never mind!

Have a good Christmas chaps!

WW / Craig / Statto

Mein Got.

It was like passing a house brick this morning. 😳

A motley crew...

Where to start....?

Burger bigger than your head...

Oh... and some German bloke who's apparently a bit handy on a bike...

... with an umbrella sticking out of his head

I’d like to add that for a club that isn’t a club that was one hell of a turn out.

I didn’t know anyone around that table a couple of years ago and last night we filled a bar!

Roll on 2016 when there will be:
• Monday Night Pub Rides.
• BMX nights.
• A movie screening.
• Some falling off.
• The occasional wrong turn.
• A lot of piss taking.
• Pie.

To reiterate the rules of the MNPR club that isn’t a club.
1) Turn up.
2) Bring a bike.

I couldn’t help but notice that Hans broke rule 2. Chipps, have a word.

See you all next year for more of the same.

There was also a request last night to try and organise another track night at the velodrome and for us to have a go at cycle speedway...

i'll talk to holly about seeing if we can hijack a manchester wheelers velodrome session craig...

gutted i missed out last night. the MNPR really is a good time, and for 2016 i hope to make it to a hell of a lot more rides.

😯

I can't wait to see who Chipps brings along to the Prestwich premier next year!!
