Newcastle Rides

Naturlich - Tuesday night polo, mainstay of the social calendar! Would be grand if we could get one or two more people out - though last week was quality anyway.

polo! im there

I had a word with my mate about ski poles for your mallets and he recons he may be able to get a couple.

I will let you know once I get them.

Suberb 20, cheers

People still turning up at 7, ja?

No, I'm never riding a bike again. Hope you got my text.

going to give tonight a miss...warm weather bunny that i am!

have fun if you go

Yeah, fair dos, weather downright filthy. Can anyone do thurs?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

nice one, that old piece of junk'll be just perfect for polo!

now we all know where you live lol

thats what i was thinking! so you got it built yet?

oh yeah, polo tomorrow everyone, 6.30 at the bb court

Er, can we make polo at 7 tomorrow, busy at work at mo and struggling to escape on time

7 it is, is anyone else coming btw?

yeah ill b there.

for anyone else who is interested there will be a mid-distance on sat at around 10.30 am.

route is yet to be decided..

Toying with the idea of being a social outcast and going non-fixed, really want to get some miles in on the Harry Quinn. Had a quick look for routes but not been inspired yet. Still reckon head west and loop back though

fifty miles but if we get tired we can get the train back from corbridge?

Looks alright like, once we got to ponteland i would ride past the airport to get home though. cut the last few miles short.

that would b 2 easy!

if its a nice day 30/50 miles should be enjoyable.

we'll see how knackered i am

yeah take it easy and carb load.

yeah, it will only take like 2 miles off or something. its just that it will be hard to turn off the most direct route home if im tired...

while lookin for routes i found some floodlit tennis courts... bit of a posh area tho so will no doubt be a mission to get into.

also these in my old school, easier to get into plus proper hockey pitch

we may need some wire cutters to cut the nets down lol

ahh i just assumed we would go the normal way! either is good.
