Also....
keep an eye out for an upcoming 'pacey' pootle too, care of nbt.
Count me in!
Off on holiday that day, can't win them all 😉 Enjoy it everyone...
Count me in Pookingtons!
Sounds good (as long as we don't do Cut Gate again!) 😉
Sounds pke fun. I'm determined to get the wife along on one of these soon. Keep telling her It's a good bunch but she won't believe me.
I'm in....though I leave for the Mega on the Monday, so no hucks-to-flat/face please.
It'll be nice/interesting/an experience to put faces to names.
I want in this time, i have missed the last couple, would also like to do the 'pacey' pootle when details emerge.
sound good, i'm in if free
It wasn't [i]that[/i] windy.....
It wasn't that windy.....
😯 <-- 1000 yard stare.
Looking back at the vids, I realise I've not done many pootles this year!
Oh well.
Onzadog - mrsPodge of Podge of this parish has been on pootles. She'll vouch for them being a fun, very welcoming trip out, as will MrsNBT aka Bunnyhop. Ladies are always welcome - we even know how to control Hora now in their presence.
Oh go on - I'm departing for pastures new that weekend so might as well make last 'home' ride a social one.
Bout bloody time form what i hear! 😀
Count me in for sure!!!! Woo hoo!
arse - away on holiday that weekend - have a good one, hope its a bit less blowy than the Cutgate-tornado-pootle one for you.
might try and make the other one - depends on how 'pacey' NBT's definition of pacey is...
I could well be up for this, pretty sure I'm free!
I've just added it to favourites 8)
No can do , sorry. I'll be at Basque MTB with Ed O.
Enjoy !! 🙂
STW Weekender weekend that one.
OH finally one I can do ...probably
How far do people travel for these pootles?
The sept 2011 was the last one I went on 😮
Can't believe how long ago that was
well, it's for the non-weekenders.
Plus, it's when I'm free ;o)
Graeme - we expect cakes delivered...
I'll send a tactical substitute 😛
I'm not weekendering so might bob along
What route do you have in mind Pook?
Mr R Spanner of this parish recommended these rides to me just last weekend, so I'd like in. That is however the first weekend of of a bit outage at work, so I can't promise.
andeh - no idea.
There was one pootle between the Sept '11 and Feb '11 one...
Kinder Circuit?
a kinder circuit than what? I'm always kind.
Does he mean two laps of the car park, quick fork compression test and then off home?
😀
After initially being put off by the absence of Graeme and his Lancashire bhaji's, I reckon I'm in. I've missed the last couple on account of being a right idle bastard who can't be arsed driving further than my frankly brilliant local trails
Rammy is the new Marple! And I am the new Nbt 😉
NO... I am NBT...
It's a landmark event - Binners is coming! I'll bring bunting.
Flippinheckler - re how far people travel; we've had some folks come from Hampshire, Norfolk, Buckinghamshire....
I AM NBT, AND SO IS MY WIFE.
count me in chris 🙂
I'm in.
onzadog - tell your lovely lady from me, that these 'pootles' are very friendly, lots of banter, looking at lovely scenery, stopping for snacks, chats and the odd mechanical.
We all start off (usually getting lost within 3 minutes, to regroup shorty after) and soon find our pecking order, all good fun and nobody gets left behind (intentionally or otherwise) 😉
NO! I'M NBT, oh hang on a minute, I am his wife 🙂
Do people wear labels stating their forum names?
'pacey' pootle
Mmmm, sounds like an interesting oxymoron.
Any thoughts NBT?
Cheers
Paul
Do people wear labels stating their forum names?
no, we just carry the stigma...
Sadly we'll miss this one - we'll be at Basque MTB with GRAEMEJONES!
The wife and I will toast you from the wedding we've already been invited to down south
Always on a Saturday 🙁 one of the joys of being in retail is that I can 100% guarantee I will be working 🙁
I could well be interested in joining in, but it depends on 2 things! Firstly the state of my legs, I'm dong an Ironman distance tri 2 weeks before and secondly, actually having a bike for it! Planning a little purchase form OnOne early next month, but I need to get rid of the current bike! So I could be between steeds with trashed legs!
Where do these pootles normally start from?
How about myself and phil56 having a Spanish Pootle,hmm, sunshine, dusty trails and maybe finish off with cold beer ?No thanks, I'm booked in with Doug now so I'll have to go Spain instead 😥
Hells - they are peaks pootles. Normally dark peak places.
We don't wear badges with names on but if you look closely, someone might have it as a sticker on their toptube. I think I've talked the Mrs into it. She's even rescheduling a hair appointment for it.
Best make it a good one then.
Noobs welcome? Not rode round there with a group for a while mainly hermit rides.
Oh yes - that's exactly what the pootles are all about!
Thats my birthday weekend, it's also the Derby beer festival
I will be there only in spirit (or ale)
Sounds good! I'll be there, legs and bike permitting!
I'll keep an eye on this thread!
Got a wedding... not too worry, next time....
Have fun, folks 🙂
Oops wrong thread
Flippinheckler - re how far people travel; we've had some folks come from Hampshire, Norfolk, Buckinghamshire....
That's not very far, last one I went to I drove down from a house party in Redcar at midnight and slept in the back seat and was frying up a bacon sarnie with another STWer from Devon the next morning, so they're well travelled!
Fingers crossed i can sort out some childcare and get myself along, bloomin gf is booked in at clarins in the middle of the day and a black tie do in the evening.
I'll have to make sure i clear all the mud off me first 😀
@pook, I'm due to be away that weekend which is a shame as I still owe you a personal thank you for your route ideas.
The last Pootle I went on was a testing one (December11) where it rained cold and hard from virtually start to finish 😆
Do people wear labels stating their forum names?
Yeah, always. Night and day. Anyway, won't be able to make this as I'll be flying overhead in an aeroplane on the way back from sunny Deutschland. I shall try and spot you and wave frantically if they put us into a holding loop over the Peak...
someone might have it as a sticker on their toptube
"Someone" hasn't been on a Pootle for a while and due to it being Buxton Carnival that day (family BBQ, drinking etc), that someone isn't likely to be on this one either...
...unless of course I'm not the only one with forum name on top tube 😳
jambalaya....a personal thankyou?
Oo er Mrs.... not with the kids watching.....
bwd - just keep an eye out for tyre tracks in the snow.
bumped for newbie vic.
Hello!
Yay! Cumon Vic! 😀
Can I come too please? Getting back on my bike again after a break (and too much cake) so save me a space at the back.
Don't know about that zesty. The back is a popular and busy place on these things.
Sounds perfect Onzadog! Looking forward to getting back into it and meeting some folks.
even hora?
even hora?
I'm not yet familiar with the legend that is Hora but will find out before the ride just in case it involves me having to bring pepper spray or my titanium chastity belt.
I will come and pootle with all of you 😀
WAHEY!
I have videos of hora too. Let me dig around a bit
😆
You thinking about playing out DD? We can probalby sort out a bike loan for you since I seem to recall you don't actually have a working MTB? 😉
I think we should wear name badges, if only so that vic knows who to avoid....
May I tag along, would be nice to ride the local trails with a group?
Hora looks harmless!!! Best still take the pepper spray though zesty7 😉
