Evening all. As a tide of rain-induced can't-be-arsed-ness seems to have taken hold, it's been suggested that we abandon any pretence at riding, and just go to the pub. The [url= https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Hare+%26+Hounds,+400+Bolton+Road+West,+Bury,+Lancashire+BL0+9RY/@53.6359504,-2.334606,15.93z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x487ba383c5841ab3:0xa83ea1e4a0549f18?hl=en ]Hare and Hounds[/url] has been suggested. There's a mahoosive selection of ales

Anyone who's ordered a t shirt, I can bring them down for you.

Hopefully see you there for festive quaffing

Is this going to be at the "usual" time? Or have some of you who may have already finished work made secret plans to be there early doors?

my kinda ride .. but a bit of hike from here. I'd have to drive which would miss the point.

I'll be driving too so just the one for me but I need to pick the T shirt up, otherwise I won't have anything new to wear on christmas day.

Will wittonweavers be joining us with his unique brand of Christmas spirit?

It's a bit far for me to drive for 1 pint and a t-shirt. I'll get them on 29th if that's OK for you binners.

Ta.

Been wearing my shirt for 3 days now.

It could do with a wash, or at least a beating with a stick.

I'll be down too. Not sure on the logistics yet, but I'll be there one way or the other. So usual time then or earlier?

Well I was toying with the idea of riding the roadie over but the weather has taken a rather apocalyptic turn so the Mrs has taken pity on me and is giving me a lift there and back(!). That means I've got 3 spaces from Tod if anyone wants a lift.

Daz, we could be keen on a ride over for the pair of us. I take it you're not planning on sinking pints all evening...

Well I need to stay there long enough so that the Mrs doesn't have to come back as soon as she gets home so depends on what you mean by 'all evening'. I guess I'll have to stay there til about 10ish (oh the hardship!) otherwise she'll be driving around all night. Happy to give you a lift though if you need one.

That sounds perfect. What time are you setting off? We could get down to the railway arches by the Masons and meet you there.

Have fun.

Can you post a very sad/awesome picture of you all posing in your shirts? Mine has made its own way into the washing machine.

Hats off to Binners. The T-shirt design is awesome.

Yeah top T shirts binners!

It doesn't come out particularly well in the photo on the "natural" t-shirts but I like the wind turbine detail how it stands out on the black version modelled by Clover.

T shirts are fab, thanks Binners! The wind turbines do come out particularly well on the black 🙂

Thanks all. The t shirts have come out well. And clover was right (as expected). They do look good on black. 😀

Top night last night. I've felt better than I do this morning. The unpronounceable Czech lager was lethal!

Not as lethal as "Green Bullet". I think something had died in the barrel 👿

Shame I missed it. I fell asleep under a pile of pistachio shells with Downton Abbey on in the background (was there any need to kill off the dog?).

Can we have some blue T shirts with a silhouette of Winter Hill complete with red anti collision lights next please? Followed by Stoodley, Peel and Dawin towers and Rakewood and Clifton viaducts?

What were the chances you'd turn up at the same pub, at the same time as the Mr Universe finalists Christmas night out? 😀

I feel a bit ropey after our Xmas ride last night, one too many of these. And the Leffe. Oh, and the whisky 😳

Do all night riders have the same "high fringe" going on?

Looks like a great bunch to cycle with - I see these mnpr threads and think you must have a top laugh and are fortunate to have that sort of terrain on your doorstep.

I might have to get some t-shirts for my small cycling collective!
