    These are the times back

    they are for any hour so for example can be starting at 1523 if we want

    Dlm - 1623
    Man pic - 1736
    Man vic - 1810
    Swinton - 1825
    Walkden - 1830
    Dsy - 1840
  • Evenin all, I'll be in the Manchester area in the new year, looking for some people to go for a push around with. I'll also have a spare Mountain Cycle Battery if someone fancies a few test rides on it.

    Sound slike Glossop might be a starter for ten, if there are any PM's flying around about riding after 2nd jan, can I be included on them pelase?

    Cheers!

    No problem 26tL, we'll se what can be done, and yes, Glossop is a good place for a ride. We may be getting a ride in the peaks done at some point, if so we'll let you know, I can't believe we've yet to explore such a haven for mtb action.

    Other than that, we ride at Delamere, Rivington, and Lee Quarry... though a bit of diversity would be good now and again :lol: , we'll see what can be done...

    I'm now not going to Delamere

    Heavy snow forecast for Monday & Tuesday

    The Delamere train line always gets closed in snow cos Northern Rail are so crap

    Also - think how busy it will be with Xmas shoppers when we have bikes

    Up for a new year ride though and 26 to Life - Glossop sounds good - easier to get to than Delamere aswell :)

    There are, as of yet, no weather warnings for the area, or notices of possible disruption for trains, so its still on as far as I'm concerned.

  • Working on Tuesday :(:(

    On a 7-4. I hate not being to be able to get out because of work. I hate having to trek to the gym aswell in place of it.

    30th is still good for me though. Also, why did it change to Lee Quarry? That's gonna be a pain for me to get there.

    aha.

    I like this.
  • A ride in the new year sounds like a better idea. Once all the christmas rush is over. Got to have an operation next friday so this rules me out for 3/4 weeks :(
