Hardpack route round the Horse Shoe and Turton, so drag your miserable arses away from Coronation Street and come out for a bike ride*.
*This statement is aimed at me.
i'll be on-call until 8pm, but yes.
Usually I'd say too far, but as I've just read the other thread, I'll go the extra (10) mile. See you Monday.

That's cheered me up. I won't be out for a while.
Provisionally in. Better charge my lights then.
Might be back from darn sarth by then. You coming, Binners? I have e-bike... 😉
An e-bike you say? Hmmmmm... I could keep up with Daz 😃
Thanks to some very sensible jury members at Manchester crown court today, my workload is about to get a whole lot lighter. Hopefully I'll be in!
I will be painfully slow though. I've barely turned a wheel in 4 months.
bet you'll still easily drop me on the climbs russ!
I'm in
Gravel bike friendly or proper bike?
I'd go "proper".
I'm hoping I can make this. Trying to sort out work life balance so I have time and energy for fun again.
If everyone else is dragging their behinds off the sofa, I suppose should as well.
New headset in the hardtail and weather looks okay. No excuses now.
My lights are charged. This still on?
childcare so I'm a no again, gah...
I'm in
This still on?
Looks like it. I'm going anyway.
I'm in!
yes!

Looks like a lovely evening for it folks. Cheering up will most definitely be on the agenda.
We can do the reservoir route or something a bit more playful if its dried out a bit up there. I'll pop up and have a look, then if its not a quagmire, put it to the vote
My heart is saying yes but my legs are quite emphatically saying no so I'm not going to coming to play. Have a good one all!
I'm in. See you in a bit
Rich
family duties for me this evening, needs must. unlikely i'll be free in time now so i'll be giving it a miss and going up to rivi later in the week instead.
Leaving now .
Thanks for that. Much needed today. Sorry I didn't hang around, hope the crisps were good.
Well that was unfeasibly good fun!
I’ve seen the future! The Acme rocket bike

thoroughly enjoyed that. Chasing binners down on the flats just to have him breeze passed on the slightest of inclines made for a bit of an extra incentive to put some effort in. Knackered now.
It was good to get back out but my knees are shagged this morning.
Feeling it in the legs this morning. Need to get out more!
Me too, didn't want to get out of bed this morning - need to build my fitness up!
Still loved it though...
Me too, didn’t want to get out of bed this morning
Amen brother. I was in work at 5.30 today. Struggling now.
If I hadn't been on the ACME Rocket Bike I reckon I'd just be arriving back at the pub about now.
Hopefully We'll have decent enough weather to shake off our 'winter' fitness levels. I've basically spent the last few months indoors, drinking beer and eating pies
Legs were tired riding in this morning....
Next time Binners will turn up on a Derny bike.
