HOMBRES vs Crudcatcher mashup ride

Gazlar

Not official yet, just sounding out who would be interested in a group steady pace ride of many loops

Heres the plan
FODCA (Forest of Dean for anyone who doesn't work in acronyms, I don't know why I didn't just write Forest of Dean in the first place as its taken me longer to explain it)
Date 20th Feb, so plenty of time to get things shifted in the diary

Anyone interested? if so, I'll make it official

projectsome

Lend me your bike, mine's out of commission until March at least. I'm determined to upgrade several parts before riding it again

whyamihere

The chances of me getting there by any respectable time on a Sunday by train are non-existent, and for that reason, I'm out.

Gazlar

and what if we can get you a lift?

whyamihere

Well, if I could get a lift, then it would be more likely, but still not certain.

Gazlar

ok ill put you down as a 23.8 percent possibility

VWsurfbum

Too far for me, Wifes birthday outing the night before.
For that reason i'm out.

welshkev

i'm up for it, and i'm sure all the guys that i went out with on sunday (itsmygame, northern monkey and squarepants as well as silver sladey) could be persuaded aswell

Gazlar

Good good good, I know Fodca is supposedly quite a sedate ride, but plenty of loops plenty of chat and plenty of cake make for a good day

Its pretty impossible to get there using public transport anyway, i have looked at it before as i go uni in gloucester, and want to get there with no car.

I'm normally a roadie, so riding 15-20 miles each way from a station is no bother for me.

Kitty

I'm too lazy, it's too far, and I suck at riding.

So, no for me.

The Northern Monkey

where the fudge is the fod?

welshkev

it's about an hour from cardiff ben, about 40 mins from me, i'll give you a lift if you want

The Northern Monkey

jonnyc2420

I may just partake, but knowing I'll be the oldest, fattest and slowest git on the ride, you'd better arrange a search party to collect my remains

it's alright we'll just keep a check on you as we pass you on our multiple laps

FAO Midlanders

I have a Land Rover Discovery and would be more than willing to lug a fellow rider or two, their bikes and kit along too..
I can fit 3 adults and 3 bikes in "Old Earl" my trusty but slow oil burning Disco..

Your fitness was a lot better than mine!

Gazlar

getonyourbike We may have room in one of the cars coming from Wolves, will look into that a bit nearer the time when the guys are a bit more definate.

And to everyone, this looks like a goer then, when I get in later I'll put up a proper thread in the relevant section, look forward to seeing you all

Oh and Raymond, we will fall out if you are trying to steal my crown as the unfittest

:evil: I really can't join in after all, after checking the diary. Thanks for the offer of sorting something out anyway though.
