Waifs and Strays - Four

awesome ride, nice to meet you all. toes now burning...

colder than christ in a freezer.
my route back was an epic tale of lostness.

Pleasure riding with you feral lot. Happy 25th day of the 12th month!

Looks much more fun than waking up with crappy american Santa films on tv. Took my bike with me back to Shoetown so I'll be doing a one man ride later.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Awsome, thanks to Em for routing, sorry we had to bail so early, Mrs's toe were (and apparently still) sore.

good ride. sorry to bail early, feet cold, and knew I had a lot of riding to do later.

Awesome awesome ride em! Thank you! (obligatory smiley)
Thanks everyone for a rocking day. Well worth it in spite of and because of the cold. Good banter, good booze, superb buscuits.

Wished I'd stolen a decent camera though ^Iphone.

Looks like a van not a car.

He was keeping warm and supposed to be working. But more like our very own broom wagon.

That looked like it was fun.

I was just looking in on this thread with trepidation, expecting to see something about clive slipping on some ice and breaking a buttock/elbow/knee/whole arse or something but it looks like it went without incident!

Wished I'd been there instead of being ill and watching dvds with old people

screenshot > pictures > names all in envelope = insurance payback

btw john do you really know what this friends of you do to people with blackburn?

Good Luck England! :D

Looks and sounds like a brilliant ride out...certainly better than prepping sprouts.

Great pictures too...there's something that gladdens my heart when I see a pile of bicycles like this:

Thanks for the ride.
