    I would come but the trains from North Wales to Manchester/Alderly Edge are dodgy on a Sunday morning.
    ride there, it's only 50k from chester.

    Cool...

    Blimey, I think we'd better have a headcount so I can forewarn Blaze Farm!

    Can you copy and paste the reply before so each post has a running total on...

    B0llox!.... I can't get home, now! :evil: :evil: :evil:

    My relief will be delayed, so I'm stuck out here for the weekend.

    Sorry, Nap... Another day.... :roll:

    The good news is - forecast is for sunny skies on Sunday. So no one can use the weather as an excuse for not turning up.
  • My excuse not to turn up is that I have decided to spend my birthday off the saddle and with my new girlfriend instead. I'm going to Bath instead of the Peak District.

    Another time... anyone doing the Autumn Epic?

    Ant - Any chance of a motor-pace session if you're driving past Chorlton/OT or via Styal? :D

    Oh, in that case, do you want to draft me and save a bit of fuel? :) I'll stick the 120t chainring on.

    It'll definitely be nice. I might rock my Zipps also then. The two guys bringing up the rear all day with the best looking wheels. Oooooh the irony! :)

    I'm offering a mystery prize to the person who drops NapoleonD on a hill after giving him the look, then destroying him with your enormous display of Power. He will hate it, but will be in awe of you! :lol:
