[Closed] Monday Night Pub Ride - August 10th - The not as far away as you think edition

Is it Thursday already?

I mean, I'm a creature of habit me. You can't just go sneaking an MNPR thread in a day early. T'ain't natural.

And there's you slagging of the Fresh Goods Friday thread when it's four minutes late.

Double bloody standards!!

Oh and erm, in.

More likely than not.

I've not ridden for three weeks so I'm in.

Now I've got a proper job I'm going to be busy talking with the grown ups tomorrow.

I should be in, hand permitting. Had a bag of frozen peas on it to take away the swelling.

Bump

might as well ride Gisburn?

doh! no pub

That's a bit too far I think for a school night. +15 miles and 30 minutes.

and no pub 😉

Last one before I go on hols so I'll be there.

At the risk of making myself unpopular, can we go to the top this time? 🙂

I'll be there - looking forward to this and a repeat of last times ride wouldnt go amiss.

We pretty much went to the top last time albeit unnecessarily! no objections from me though!

Hmmmmmmmm

There is a pub at Gisburn (Dog and Partridge at Tosside). If anyone ever fancies a ride round there with a bit of nice 'cheeky' thrown in, let me know.
I really wanted to come on the Sabden ride but i'm umpiring a game of u15's cricket that evening, if i can get a replacement I shall break my MNPR duck

[Susan]I’m out. Last weeks “Dances With Rocks” incident has left me a little messed up. [/Susan]

I'm still planning on being there tonight and Tony is coming up with me as well.

I'm afraid I'm still on holiday parenting duties.....

but will be heading out somewhere round this neck of the woods later in the week, if anyone fancies a run out

You got your bike sorted WW? What've you got?

I'll be there.

I might be there tonight, my back isn't too good at the moment though.

Binners, depending how my back is, I might be up for a local one.

I'll be there to help get us lost.

I'm sorry to hear that, Harry.

I'm out. A very heavy Saturday night seems to have brought on a cold/chest infection.

Bummer.

I'll try to be there next week, come hell or high water.

Well we have got next weeks theme so now we need a route to match...

bit too far for me to get there after kids bedtime, I may solo in Phillips instead or go out midweek...

Too far/late for me this week chaps. (another) dawn start for me tomorrow....

Chipps and I on our way over soon. Can we do the same first descent through the woods we did last time? It was ace.

The woods descent is first on the list.

The list was shredded!

Still a good ride tonight though - enjoyed that!

Yeah, the singletrack near the top of Pendle Hill was unbelievable!

My knee has now swollen up nicely. Can't believe I hit it that hard, through a kneepad, on a climb 😡

Meh. Really wanted to do this one. Shall we go again some time around Halloween?

Sounds like a plan Harry.

Oh dear.... Further carnage, eh? 😉

Glad fun was had 🙂

Cheers Lads. First time I've ever been to the top of Pendle Hill. It's like a proper mountain isn't it? And thanks for all the free stuff Chipps 🙂

Some crap pictures...

Sounds like you need some sort of procore for your knees 😀

Inflatable knee pads - on it 😀

dazh

I may have picked the correct fork here, but it was Chipps who had the foresight to leave his bike pointing back down the correct trail when we stopped in the clouds at the top 🙂
