[John the Monkey]

One of you could invest in a Camper Longflap, and take along a pick-a-nick...

I did indeed... a man notices things like that (i.e. missing food).

 

[Tharg2007]

emergency 'bonk' food

there's no 'bonking' on this trip, but if something catches your eye I would suggest oysters, figs or strawberries

OK....any preferences on start time ? - 9...9.30...10 am..

Only point to make, 8th November - this is the Sunday morning after the nearest Saturday to bonfire night, so the suburbs will be a bit foggy (always was on club runs - clears out as you get into Cheshire)..

Anyone stuck with train arrival times or riding distance (darkness) more importantly....... ?

Lunch will probably still be Jodrell Bank what ever time after 9am we set out...might be there a few minutes early (average speeds won't get us their too early - 11 am opening), but good for a walk round (oh yes..no Looks this time...MTB SPD's)..... The coffee and cakes are very good.....

 

[Tharg2007]

9 would be good

Very sad we can't make it fossyant, but she who must be obeyed is actually picking up a trophy on that day [just to make me feel even better], definitely next time and in response we are going to try and run one the following weekend, good luck with yours.

 

[potsy]

any time's fine with me fossy.
picking my new bike up in morning so will have 3 weeks to get used to it before the day,never ridden a drop bar bike so it should be an experience.

 

[I am Spartacus]

(oh yes..no Looks this time...MTB SPD's).....

Tis the season... taken off my SPD SLs to save my blingy white road shoes from horrific road mess and back to ordinary SPDs.. annoying little sods clipping back in again

 

[fossyant]

Bump...

Sunday 8th November - 9.00am Stockport Station. Depart at 9.15 latest ? Return for about 2.00pm - Approx...45 miles.

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

if i can keep up on my brommie, i'd like to join you all if thats ok?

 

[Tharg2007]

have we got a full list of attendees? what are the numbers so far, seems like quite a few.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Still no 'NO WAY!' from the Boss, so I'm assuming that I'm up for it.

You riding over there, Tharg?
Might be able to hook up with Mancrider78 too as he/she's coming from Eccles.

The Urmston-and-area posse!

 

[Tharg2007]

it had crossed my mind to try my new bike rack out, I guess just for testing purposes is a poor excuse not to ride there .
Its 10 miles there and 10 miles back so total riding distance for us will be about 65 miles, more for mancrider78.
