Manchester to Blackpool Night Ride 29-30th September 2012

[Gez73]

I've got more gels than I'll bring but will probably bring about 5. Have some jelly beans too and will bring some malt loaf to keep the 'bonk' at bay. Not thought about camping kit though, Blackpool's full of B&B's isn't it?

You may be a new member to these 'ere parts but that is no excuse. If you read a post which gives you a laugh, etc it is custom to give it a 'like' and not just reply with an "LOL" or similar comment.

Thanks for your LOL.

No apology needed.

Thanks

That's fine because no apology is forthcoming. Lighten up and get down from your high horse...

 

[Gez73]

That deserved a 'like'.

 

[DCLane]

That deserved a 'like'.

Or an 'ignore'

I like your LOL. I was having a laugh. Don't ride horses!

 

[middleagecyclist]

Anyway. After my little misjudged attempt at humour and wanting to move on, I would like to make it known I am taking four gels (varied flavours), a large Chelsea Bun and one bottle of water. I may well top this up with some jelly beans/midget jems/wine gums as available from garages en route.

Fair enough, I took it the wrong way. Sorry about that.

Is no one else taking sandwiches for at a stop?

No but I will happily eat the ones you bring

Phew! Reading it again I can see how badly it comes across despite my little winky, smiley face at the end

Not for me. I want something I can just stuff in a jersey pocket. However, if we go to McDonalds I intend to have one Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin. Or maybe two!

 

[middleagecyclist]

What's the concensus if the P*****re Fairy visits anyone. Are we going to stop en masse? I'm happy to wait around myself and lend moral support.

 

[Gez73]

I can do two double sausage and egg McMuffins but the egg has to come out of the second one. Hash browns I'm not fussed about. Yes I think stopping for each othets 'visits' is a good idea. Maybe a buddy system in pairs or threes? Gez

How's to weather looking?

 

[Gez73]

Last time I checked dry on way out and a good chance of rain on return. Will wear overshoes for warmth if not wet. Got caught this morning too.

Last time I looked drizzle overnight - full rain expected around 6-7am.
I'm tempted to carry jam sandwiches as my "fuel" of choice
