Slight route problem, road closed.

Refreshed and warmed-

Obligatory little and large shot

I take it you mean the backpacks?

Hi all, just got back home. Sorry I had to bail, but I was finished when I got really really wet in my gilet and my gloves failed.
Myself Alan and Mike took refuge in a wetherspoons in Macc, then took the train back to Stockport. I hope the rest of you guys make it round OK, the weather is starting to improve.

Glad you three got back fine. Great idea with the train.

Got back about five. Left wet footprints everywhere. Bike soaked kitchen floor. Weather wasn't good at all, and the cold caused problems. I did mention Kerridge was tough, ahem.

I shall order better weather next time, at least the cafe will be dryer.

Got home, no-one in, so made a tonne of pasta for when the family got in. Oiled the chain and left it, just gone outside and rinsed off.

Hope you enjoyed the route, shame about the detour back into Macc down the main road due to the road closure.

70 miles in crap weather, can't be bad eh ?

Got in at half six,demolished a mountain of curry
Another imperial century done
Shame about the moist morning,the afternoon was much better
Off for a soak in the bath now...................as if I've not been wet enough today already

 

[skudupnorth]

Even with the weather and detours i had a really good ride and it was great to me so many new forum faces,real good turn out and well worth the pain and cold.
Topped 98 miles,should have gone round the block a couple more times to make the magic 100 but i was totally foobarred and glad to have done what i did.

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

well done lads,sounds good. i had a nice easy brompton ride (38 miles) today with a world champion in HOT PANTS, that's right the world champion female was riding with us today, but unfortunately the cold got to her and she had to retire but met up at the pub later. pictures would be a bit disrespectful, to say the least.

 

[Alun]

pictures would be a bit disrespectful, to say the least.

Where are they then?
