I think its goona be an excellent day out....

btw lovin ya pink bits Caz :shock:

Have I stumbled onto the 'readers wives' forum by mistake....? :oops:

Don't worry about the route Frostys, padding up is probably a bit of overkill but some of us just feel safer having them and not needing to rather than coming off and then wishing we had worn them. Really looking forward to this, just hope the weather doesn't spoil it.

Are you a proper girly girl then Caz?

Frostys

You watch mate she's gonna be some sort of XC whippet who's gonna make us look even worse than we actually are.

Probabaly appeared in the "girls in lycra" thread the roadies run

Cheshley

she's already threatened to poke me

sparrowlegs78

Urm....well ets just say there's not many ladies my size
6ft 2" and big shouldered, hence the pink as a bit of a giggle
Caz xx

Frostys

poking you threatening to spank me the girls in for a busy day

btw Raj has just confirmed he still wants a lift next Sunday I'm picking him up in Sheffield somewhere.

This has turned into a right old day out have the paramedics/airambulances been put on alert

Cheshley

not so much the girly girl then....? :?

Good job I'm 6ft 5 then, I might just stand a chance of making it out of the woods alive. Sorry fellas, it's very man for himself and I'm the one with the map!!!!!

sparrowlegs78

I'm taking my map tooooo...can't read the bloody thing though
Caz xx

Frostys

Map???? aren't you going to ride the course first and place waymarkers at the correct points and where have you arranged for the refreshments to meet us??

Or shall I bring my map/compass and make sure I have a full camlebak and a Mrs Miggins pie in there just for good measure? (might even sneak and extra large bag of Haribo in there too)

sparrowlegs78

ohhh Haribo, I was going to bring a selection bag or 2, got loads on me cupboards
Caz xx

Frostys

its a toss up either haribo or Jellybabies haven't decided yet and a big bowl of porridge in the morning.

Cheshley

Guys, it's a few miles around the Peak District, you're not attempting the coast to coast in a day!!!!!

Light breakfast, isotonic mix in the Camelbak and maybe a banana or two to munch on the way round.

sorted.

Frostys

Excuse me Mr Cheshley are you trying to deprive me of a valid excuse to nick the kids Haribo's ???????

Damn you Sir thats rather unsporting

...that would take you up to lunchtime (if you missed out on some of the 'ride' bits) which frankly appear to be more than a little repetitive. :?

Oh hell, what have i missed out on over the last few days? Pies, Haribo's, Full body armour,
Bubble wrap, and god knows what else,

With 28 riders with bikes and all this kit i think i'll have to bring my coach,... Chesley do you think my coach will make it around the route!!!!!!!

This has got to be the biggest ride organised this side of the universe.

Looks like i'll have to get my website building skills in action after this ride, all those wanting there pics on the site will have to email them to me complete with captions/comments so i can put them in.

A name for us as a group has already been put forward... it's UNFIT KNACKERS ON TOUR!!!!!
If any of you have any suggestions/ ideas hit me with them.

With regard to the large number of us attending this ride i can bring my trusty rottweiler to keep the group together, he can take up the rear and bite the rear of any stragglers!!!!!!

Ste.

kangaroo

just an idea, dont be afraid to tell me if its stupid.

why dont we create a window live group then one night we can all jump into the group messenger for a live chat session

rottitera02

Do you really think we can keep up/compete with sparrowlegs in a chat messenger group, after all women are the leaders in this field!!!!!!!!!!!!

kangaroo

er... oh.. er... er...

rottitera02

Sparrowlegs may be the only female in the group but 27+ males have no chance of getting a word in edgeways ''

A facebook group may be useful - you can add events and such like.

I'm still unsure which day was decided.. I've gone through all the posts so I must have missed it somewhere.
