Forum ride from Hebden Bridge, Sun 3rd July

I am not around this weekend. Got a 200 next weekend and rode all last weekend. Better remind myself what the family look like

Aww that's a shame, was going to offer to bring a spare tyre for you just in case. I carry one permanently round my middle

Aargh - you are not having much luck with the forum rides recently, Shaun!

anybody up for the waddington ride next weekend?

If it is a hilly one, yes!

Latest list:

Riders

• ColinJ
• Alun
• bromptonfb (revising for exams)
• Potsy

Maybes

• italiafirenze

Anybody want to boost the numbers? Given what happened the past 4 summers, we can't rely on there being loads more sunny Sundays this summer!

You can put me down as a non-rider now. I'll get to one of these rides eventually.

Well it's not looking like much of a turn out now is it?
I am wondering whether it will be better to pull out of this one and do next weeks instead?
I can only do one or the other, and would rather it be one with at least 5-6 of us.

Alun? Colin? Thoughts?

I can't do next weekend, I've got rides in the Lake District organized. I'm up for tomorrow as long as I'm not the only one.

Colin?

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

i'm a defo for next week. i'm not ill anymore and my exams will be out of the way, no shift work or weekend work for a while now. just the chance to actually get out and ride.

we could always do this weeks ride next week.

Okay. Next weekend maybe?

I know what you mean about the rider numbers and I don't mind if you'd prefer to wait for next week's ride, but if it is bad weather next Sunday, I'll give that a miss. The forecast for tomorrow is great, it is not good for mid-week, and next weekend - who knows, so A bird-in-the-hand ... is my attitude. I need to get a ride in tomorrow so I'll be riding with company or without! I'm going to take advantage of the sunny conditions.

Colin?

If you feel it is worth it coming over to ride round with just yours truly, I'd still be up for it, but I wouldn't be offended if you decided to save your fuel for a forum ride with more riders. Just let me know what you have decided.

I'm happy to do any 50-60 mile local hilly ride next weekend if the weather is okay.




So, potsy/Alun ... tomorrow - yes/no?

 

[Alun]

I'll be there 9.45am tomorrow!
I can't make next w/e, and the forecast looks good. Let's Go !!

Good man! We can just meander round enjoying a few rays.


Potsy - I'll check in the morning to see if you are coming too, but if not - see you next weekend (subject to acceptable weather).

If anybody decides to make an unscheduled appearance, don't be late!

 

[potsy]

I'll declare myself out now guys.
126 miles this week and I could probably do with a rest, will have a little local ride but nothing too strenuous.

See you next week all being well, and Alun see you next time you can make it.

Have a good one.

Enjoy your potter, potsy; see you next weekend!

Right, I'm off to 'carbo-load' now ... Okay, I mean alco-load, but I have to give Alun a fighting chance of keeping up!
