\n\"WhatsApp<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Route 2 <\/strong>(Post incident) : Styperson\u2019s Woods ascent (again) – Long Lane – Beeston Brow – Poacher\u2019s Snickett – Waulkmill Wood – contour back through the Poultry House – Redway Lane – Grimshaw Lane – C&P<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pub<\/strong> : Cock & Pheasant , Bollington  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WhatsApp to El Pres<\/strong>: \u201c Yo Chris ….I am doing the WNR write-up…do you wish to issue an “official statement” on your incident ?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reply <\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c No official statement necessary as nothing unusual took place. The president lead his followers with his usual bravery and daring and completed the ride as normal.  Any rumours of accident or injury are completely false and without foundation. \u201c <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A career in politics awaits , methinks\u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes<\/strong> : <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile \u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is Butty\u2019s Birthday , It is Butty\u2019s route – nobody argues \u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cock & Pleasant  ,  as our eating and quaffing venue.  Has been arranged . Menu choices had been made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Kersh arrives at our RV point unexpectedly \u2026this is when the jinx was created \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at this point we are none the wiser \u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butty leads us across the viaduct and then his Rooty double back \u2026much fun\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down the big steps to the Rec ..and a brief encounter with our Jane and the Spans \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_4968\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Up to Clarence Mill and across the fancy & cyclist friendly bridge ..the Canal and River Org have done an excellent job of fixing up the canal here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off at bridge 22 and up to Sugar Lane \u2026where Butty leads us on a push\/climb up through the woods. The jinxer rides a lot of this \u2026the rest push a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then a bit of a free for all descent back down through the roof\u2019s playground of berms and bombholes. I held back a little , but followed Lee Chris and TJ\u2019s route – not sure who was first . Not very far down I encounter TJ and Lee further down what I would describe as an \u201cimpossible chute\u201d of loose stones and mud. Chris is standing up and looking a bit dazed. At least he is standing up ! Nurse Wadsworth calmly takes control \u2026fabricating a triangular sling bandage from Chris\u2019s jacket, and walking Chris\u2019s bike ands own out towards sugar lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TJ then phones in the Poynton Branch of International Rescue ..and 20 minutes later the Mystery Machine (aka TJ\u2019s 54 plate Merc Van) arrives to pick up his excellency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"WhatsApp<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rest of us (and the afflicted one) have been resting on the verge on Sugar Lane , sipping fine whisky provided by the Birthday Boy . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are rumbles of thunder from across the Cheshire Plain .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Pres is whisked off by TJ and Enid, the rest of us have another go at some more aversion therapy – a second ascent through Styperson Woods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"WhatsApp<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From here to The C & P was an inventive route again .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"WhatsApp<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

C&P :  Good food (excellent eggs , Gammon Steak and Chips)  – Estrella , Amstell & Doombar \u2026And Kersh gets El Pre’s PIzza. That about sums it up. We may not return.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At last orders we are turfed outside to shelter under a table umbrella for our last beer and a cheeky AOE. There is a flash or two of lightening and it starts to rain . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_4990\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Its 22C at 11pm ..definitely a tropical night <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Postscript<\/strong> : Fortunately it was not a bust collarbone. He is a placebo of a cyclist . Any excuse to see the A&E nurses.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
