PTD shows his shiny Lapierre that he only rides if it won’t get dirty (so that will be the first(and last) we see it then!)
Novel route to Pott Shrigley (not too much pushing) although super heavy gates have been made to last .
Nics rear mech fatally expires and field surgery required to singlespeed his 5 to get him home
Too hot to climb off road so its all the way up to the gritstone.
Massive Mutant bugs and lethargic sheep in our lights
Single Malt and star pointing to celebrate Slims Birthday
(ok Jupiter, Mars and Uranus are planets)
El Pud finds sandals and cow poo mix rather too well.
Big leary fun down to the Vale dodging black rabbits (or was that the malt talking?)
(PTD minces past the merest hint of mud)
