5.20pm across from opposite/over Chester road in the open air carpark. Stretford mall tomorrow (Thurs).
Back circa 7.20pm.
Two of us this week. Anyone welcome. It'll be 27miles taking in Dunham Massey and Lymm (pub stop halfway).
Im unfit and enjoyed it.

What route will you be taking through Urmston? Presume along Stretford Road/Church Road through Flixton village? If so, I'll meet you at the junction of church road and Harrington road.
I can't head out until the wife gets home so if I'm not there head on without me and I'll try to catch up!

And on another note hora, have you seen this?

The cross road that Hora knows is Flixton Rd, Carrington Lane, Manchester Rd. That's where we stopped last night. With all new rubbish wiggly bits.

Ok see you at the new bit then.

Grimy yes. Its a great excuse to get fitter for summer off road rides. The fitter the longer mileage the rides 😀

Knock football on the head? Like City should?

See you next Thursday. Today is abit too ambitious for me seeing as its the long weekend- I'm riding tomorrow am and Sat am. I don't think I'd be alive if I did three rides in three days. Knock it on the head and keep it Thursdays from next week.

Weekly- I'm slow, these guys are faster. The good thing is its a social spin out after work. The idea is I get faster, they stay fast, then the rides get slightly longer as the nights get lighter and even nicer..

Sounds good Hora.
We can always cut it short if we're holding you back.

Mind if the stepdaughter tags along? Now, she is fast.....

No probs. The whole idea is to get out post-work and build on fitness (be beneficial to off road riding at weekends).

I like the fact that its improving me bit by bit.
