Hiya, Sounds good, I work shifts so might not make every week but would be good to hook up for something, How far are you thinking?

Sounding good. No need for any commitment, just be nice to be more than just me in the dark :-)

We could do anything from an hour to 3 hours.

Hi, I'm also Sheffield based and up for a Monday night ride as a pretty regular thing over the winter. Should be able to make next week if something gets sorted. Cheers Mark

(Hi mark).
I'm keen for Mondays regularly. Next week should be ok. Will keep my eye out for location info

This wednesday I'm heading out from S7 area to ride out to longshaw. There's a screening of 'Summits of my life' Lillian journets film about speed mountaineering. £3 I think but need to book at accelerateuk.co.uk

If anyone is interested will be a steady ride 'possibly' taking in some cheeky sections...

Hi Ian,

What time are you heading out tomorrow? I'm planning to go out at about 7ish, so might tag along with you for a bit if you don't mind and are going out at a similar time?

Hi all.

I'm out earlier tonight as I have the afternoon off work.

Monday sounds like we could get a few of us.

I'd suggest a meet at approx 7pm next to ladybower on the bamford road side. Ill be in a silver golf. Pm me if you're comming and ill reply with my number and make sure we wait for everyone to show.

I'm happy to come up with a route / play it by ear / follow others. About 2 hours sound ok?

How was it? Looked like a nice evening for it but was stuck indoors.

Not all bad though as time in lieu means an afternoon off at some point.

Glad that fun was had! I took but some time from work this afternoon and snuck out for a couple of hours in the daylight.

Are you heading out next week? I'm generally keen but organise the Edale skyline gell rave which is this coming sunday so may be a bit too tired by Monday night. Will see

Hi all,

Morning all,

I take it we're all keen for a repeat tomorrow evening?

Same place, (next to the ladybower on the bamford road). Given the start times from last week I guess we're aiming for a relaxed 7pm start....

So.. 7:15 :D

I'll try to turn up without a flat this week!

See you there.

Sorry folks I'm not going to make it tonight, just finished a horrendous run of night shifts.
I would be even slower than last week (yes that is possible!)

Definitely up for a ride next week though.

Have a good one.

Paul.
