I thought it was at 09:00 in Tod? I could just as easily make it 08:45 but I think we would get to Spring Wood at around 09:30 so we'd have a lot of hanging about and it is still rather nippy at that time of day. Confirm either time, and I'll see you then!
if I am sober enough to drive and can bend my finger to grip bars will try to meet you at the car park, if I aint there well in advance of the start time then unfortunately one or both as held me back, have a great ride and would be good to catch up with everyone again
Yes, at Glasson Dock. The one we went to last year was very nice. I couldn't remember the details but my friend Carrie said that it was a little on the expensive side, but the coffee was good and so was the food. There was a pub at the end of the road which also did food but I haven't been in that.
Ouch - that could be a ride-stopper! See you on Sunday if you make it, if not maybe SITD on the following Sunday, or my ride from Todmorden to Rivington and back on May 7th or 8th?Just had an operation on the knuckle of my ring finger
I'll try to make it 08:55 to give us a few minutes to put the bike on the rack.
I work Sunday morning hence the Saturday only rides when my good lady can take the kids. Gutted about this as it was a cracker ! Roll on June for the Cheshire runHmm, democracy ... I spoke to Carrie and she could make Sunday, but only if Kevin gives her a lift then, but he isn't answering HIS phone so we don't know!
I decided in the end that there is no way to do this in a way that is guaranteed to please everybody so I will be a benevolent dictator- muhaha!
The weather looks better for Sunday so let's ride on Sunday instead! Otherwise, same arrangement - meet at Spring Wood at 09:45, start ride at 10:00.
I will change the thread title, and the first post to reflect this decision.
My pals Carrie, Kevin, Julie and Bill know about the change of day.
Will the following RSVP ASAP to confirm that you know about the new date!
- @MontyVeda - if you are planning to nip down from Lancaster to see us - make it SUNDAY! We will probably arrive at Glasson Dock at around 13:00. If you want to ride towards us, it should be fairly easy to work out our route, or I can give you more details if you need them
- @Globalti - SUNDAY! We don't like the forecast for Saturday, so meet us on Sunday instead if you, your lad and your pal are free then.
- @skudupnorth - will the gymnastics be finished in time for a SUNDAY ride with us?
- Anyone else who fancies it - come on down!
Would have been nice but I'm working all weekend so wouldn't have been able to pop down either day. Maybe next timeHmm, democracy ... I spoke to Carrie and she could make Sunday, but only if Kevin gives her a lift then, but he isn't answering HIS phone so we don't know!

If I had a £1 for every time you've pulled out of a ride I'd be a rich man
Oh well - see you in June!
I will remind you!Would have been nice but I'm working all weekend so wouldn't have been able to pop down either day. Maybe next time
If I had 10p for every ride that you didn't even sign up for, then, er, I would have enough for a vegetable curry from my local takeaway!If I had a £1 for every time you've pulled out of a ride I'd be a rich man
. I have a puncture paranoia so i will feel more at ease if i know someone has a pump to blow up tyres. I'll be carrying two spare tubes just in case.
what's the point of having spare tubes and no
