At Hit the North's apres ride disco, Binners introduced himself to me with a few pleasantries and a robust handshake. At the time, that handshake inflicted exquisite pain (I injured my hand in a riding mistake a month ago) and I flinched and grimaced. However, today my hand feels stable and completely free of pain. Surely this is not a coincidence? I scoff at those who suggest it could be. The reason for this recovery - for this miraculous healing is my chance meeting with Jesus of Chorlton. And I thank him.
Am I the only one to be touched by JoC's miracle making? Perhaps he has turned a Camelbak of water into a Camelbak of wine. Perhaps he freerides in The Garden of Gethsemene. Is Mount Calvary his favourite downhill? What experiences have you had of this "man" they call Binners?
Pray tell.
I wish that I'd known. He could have had a squeeze of my grumbling nut.
say no to drugs!
I'm under the cosh to stop going on about it...
Oops.
has he got a 'cross bike?
Excellent! Suppose to be sorting a Rivi ride out with him soon. He can have a bash at my piles.
He has a rather starange set of disciples this time round
Dave let me know would be good to meet him as well
[i]He can have a bash at my piles.[/i]
could you reword that please...
lowey, binners, Derek - on the 31st, Hora is leading me up the Pike. Fancy the trip?
😯
Pook - definitely up for it then? What time?
Are you sure binners is Jesus? I mean, he does associate with men (in the local water park) and he also speaks in tongues.
He's not touching me,I'm on the invalidity benefit.

Curses! I was hoping to keep the whole Second Coming thing under wraps until those loons over the other side of the Atlantic had calmed down a bit. They don't need any further encouragement
Rivington sounds like a plan. I could deliver a sermon to my flock
I was just thinking the standard upto the Pike-down the drop offs, climb (cough walk) up towards Winter hill. Down Belmont, back round....quick carry up and do the ickle gully run off of winter hill, ice cream run then down the singletrack by the road.
31st... A Saturday! hmmm. I'll see if I can wing it. Where are you meeting ? Would be a good opportunity to meet you guys.
Hora leading a ride ? Alert the media.
You won't be going anywhere if I cast you out first blasphemer!!!!!!
Below top barn? Me lead a ride? I couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery 😀
Pook what time do you need to be back in Southport how long does it take to get there? (use Horwich for nearest place for google maps-routefinder).
do I get an invite ?
I am free but may be doing the Mary Townley Loop instead that day
This must be all the proof Mr. Woppit needs.
Below top barn? Me lead a ride? I couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery
Junkyard- [u]OF COURSE[/u] (you do realise I can't organise anything).
Simple ride:-
1. Up to the Pike- down the drop offs
2. Climb (not on that cheeky footpath, oh no not me) upto Winter Hill
3. Down San Marino/Belmont.
4. climb round on the road- and push up the gully run off of Winter hill (its a circa 5min push?).
5. Down the Gully and rejoin the curve round to finish at the ice cream run and down the singletrack by the road back down to the barns.
Pooks only got 2/2.5hrs max.
We could loop out and do the cheeky stuff I found the other week. We have to ask Lowey though. Its his manor guv

Addendum:
2a. Hora disappears off to the Trafford Centre with his Missus
Pooks only got 2/2.5hrs max.
Meaning he has all day in normal people's time keeping
Shut it you.
Yes i have 2-2.5hours.
Got to be back by about 2.30pm. 52 mins between Southport and Horwich.
Aristotle. You forgot
-1) Hora fails to turn up, siting some frankly preposterous story, usually involving yet another set of forks
9.30 start- gives a good cushion.
potentially, but that means me telling my mrs and her mate what time they're meeting. ie: my ride dictating their day.
I'll check with her first. Probably gonna be later
You were lucky derek_starship, the chosen one actually kissed me on Saturday.
Are those sandals spd compatible?
Your big wobbly beer gut also gives you a good cushion
I seek to emulate you my exulted chosen one.

I really don't want to witness the second coming of binners. 😯
Sorry guys, but cant make the 31st. Under orders.
Binners, earlier ...

Ta but here is my simple route revision
Simple ride:-
1. Up to the Pike- down the drop offs
2. Climb (not on that cheeky footpath, oh no not me) upto Winter Hill
3. Down San Marino/Belmont.
4. [s]climb round on the road- and push up the gully run off of Winter hill (its a circa 5min push?).[/s] I will ride back up San marino and wait for you at the top looking smug 5. Down the Gully and rejoin the curve round to finish at the ice cream run and down the singletrack by the road back down to the barns
I also recommend doing top of wilders wood and back up the tarmac climb few mins detour for some fast rocky stuff.
Agree with Junkyard about point 4, pushing back up belmont will be much nicer than riding up the road then pushing up the gully, probably quicker too. San marino is also rideable in an upwards direction - if you are so inclined, gully's def a push/carry/scramble.
San marino is also rideable in an upwards direction
Samuri reckons he's done it in 12:45, Matt in 9!
Why oh why oh why would you ride up San Merino? Its sick, twisted and perverted. My dad didn't to to the time and trouble to build hills like that so that you daft sods can ride up that way. Quite frankly, I don't know why he bothers at times.
I will be riding down it in.... oooooooooh..... about 3 hours. Woo and indeed Hoooooooooooo!!! Early finish for me 🙂
Agree with Junkyard- it does make more sense.
Your in trouble now Junkyard. Hora thinks you're talking sense 😀
i have no idea what you're on about. But if I'm not back in Southport by 2.30pm, I will lose my balls.
Junkyard. Are we two of binners disciples?
I'll be doing the same in 5hours and just for the sheer perversness of it i may turn around and ride back up 🙂I will be riding down it in.... oooooooooh..... about 3 hours.

Yes Donk [you coming?] and I will deffo ride back up it [i will not clear it if on the SS but I will try] I will take more than ten minutes Mat does fly up there FWIW.
