That and I'm needed till midday 🙁 going to try to get over for the end but can't promise)

Perhaps Benji can come and lift my wife in & out of her wheelchair so I can be a real man and just go and ride when I want.

I'll know better next week, will have to see how the toe is healing.

Bunnyhop and I are planning to come over, need to finalise a couple of family things.

I'll be there.. 🙂

I was aiming to be back on my bike by this but Dr says no. 🙁

I'm there...maybe with a mate or two (not sure yet)

Is it defo the 24th now? I know there was talk of the 23rd.....

24th Matey.

Id have come but I'm away from 23rd

what is the distance route and hillyness/flatness
I am considering bringing my very young kids [ 6 & 4} who cant really do much climbing uphill or downhills [ without face planting] but can do flat for about 5-10 miles at a very liesurely place
Suitable??

@ Junkyard - I'm 28 and

Johnny, It can be any distance you want- there are plenty of bail out points, and as for terrain, there are only a cpouple of climbs, that aren't exactly difficult..

If I can get around on a SS then anyone can...

Me and Bagpuss are in, fo shizzle. We're staying in NBT's caravan 😀

We're staying in NBT's caravan

Going to do my best to come along. Subject, of course, to domestic negotiations going well.

Have you ascertained yet if Ton *wants* to be cheered up?

I for one quite like being a miserable grump sometimes, although not enough to make me happy, obviously.

I'm hoping to come and could prob lead a group if necessary.

Yeah, i will come. Will cycle over to the sentre and meet you all there.

The only sodding family gathering for years is on that bloody day.
I don't want to go to it but I have to.
Fec-king christenings.....what's all that about
Sorry

Went out in Delamere yesterday, and I'd recommend bringing kneepads and elbow pads if you have them. Not primarily for shredding the gnar, but the brambles are wicked!

For those of you who've not visited before, here's a taster of what to expect, filmed yesterday.

Won't be able to make this lads. I'm riding in the Lakes on Friday and Saturday (plus it's the Stavely Beer festival on Friday Night 😉 )

I broached the subject with the camp commandant and to say I got a 'frost response' would be putting it mildly 🙁

so have a good un and see you soon

Cheers curlie. Oh, and,

love the hospital run and the [s]slowly[/s] recommisioned downhill track ridden slowly!

Fixed that for ya! 😆

delamere riding is to the soundtrack of Katie Jane wailing away.........ACE!

Bump.

Forecast is looking pretty good. See you all there.

I'll be there , so will graham and rain

Waves to Mart and Graham.

It'll be nice to see loads of people that I've ridden with from the past.

Its going to rain ? 😆

Fred, the Granada weatherman has just been on. Higher pressure for the week-end, so getting warm and drier.. 😀

What time are we riding off?

I think 10 o'clock was mentioned earlier, 9.30 at the visitor centre, plus faffage time so should be thereabouts I think.

I'm travelling from southport/formby area, will have room for one, let me know if anyone wants a lift.

It looks like I can come along, I should have room for another from Chester if anyone wants a lift.

Chris.

Right, for the avoidance of Doubt, we are meeting at Linmere Info Centre.

Does Ton really need cheering up?

DS, i am cheered up mate, looking forward to tomorrow.
Hora, dont worry, i only have 1 bike now, and it is a unsuitable one too........... 8)

Feel guilty now as I can't cook 😳

Samehere. Blur frame stored as I need to get used to this. Those buns are MINE. Seriously if those were in my house their numbers would be trimmed over night

One didn't make it as far as the cooling down board. 😳

Very sad I can't make this now 🙁 Rode with Big Pete & Ninkynonk today who will give Ton a Hug & attempted hug 😉

Ton YGM ref Liverpool - Leeds

Whoa. Wet feet out of shower, top step of wooden stairs and I had my feet above my head. Caught the top of the bannister and saved myself with my lefthand althought the palm pad attached to the lefthand is very sore (torn?) Bag of peas and vodka 😀

Graeme Jones - I'm on bended knee asking you to save me one of those (what's a BFO BTW?)

PSA: Everyone bring earplugs, 'cos I'll be screaming like a banshee tomorrow.

Hora If you don't turn up tomorrow, the above excuse will be your best yet.

Bunnyhop, the lid stays on the box until you get there! BFO's ....
Big Flipping Oreo's . 🙂

Think we're gonna need two groups.. 🙂

And if the weather is like it was in there today, it should be a grand day out..

Thanks Graeme.

Nbt and binners are you having a craggy island lovely ladies competition tonight then? 8)

Arse - won't be able to join you all tomorrow. Have a great ride.

can't make it as I have to drive to France but hope everyone has a great time and it cheers Ton up no end!

Good company, good fun. It should have cheered ton up as it certainly put a smile on my chevy chase 🙂
