RetroBike MTB Series Rd 1: Long Mynd ~ AFTERMATH

Re: Re:

.... missed his lunch .... and when he did catch up with his burger that sat on our table for 40 mins it was stone cold....

Thanks very much mate.

I hope the message got through that I wasn't paying for it - I asked someone to let them know. It wasn't even cooked properly and was raw in the middle - hopefully no-one ate it.

If we go to that pub again I'm taking sandwiches instead. :-(

A cracking opener to the retro MTB national rides! It was great to meet some new people and catch up with a few familiar faces. Many thanks to Rob et al for organisation, gate holding, guiding and of course the lunch stop beer. As always the ride itself was great fun with a friendly group. The fine weather really showed off the spectacular scenery. The climbs and descents were memorable, as was the wind blowing so hard I fell off my bike! This is the first time I have ridden the Mynd and I look forward to doing so again. Well done to all the heroes and helpers. See you at the next one!

Re:

What great start to the series. Fanatic views hard long up hill streches but we'll worth the efforts. What great bunch of bike nuts.

Re:

I didn't realise you'd left your burger on my behalf, Rob. Should we meet again I owe you a couple, let alone one. Hopefully Ill be there to make sure your its cooked properly for you next time.

Blazing Bikes, behind the pub in Marshbrook can't get enough publicity for one of the many other selfless acts of kindness that I experienced on Saturday. I did give the guy a big pat on the back as soon as I arrived at the pub. They will be my first port of call for bike spares from now on. Perhaps I should go back for the matching tyre.......

Can we get them mentioned somewhere more prominent on the site? A BikeShopoftheMonth thread perhaps?

It wasn't your fault - when I got down there only half the people had their food. I waited a bit then decided to sort your wheel out instead and asked someone to claim my food when it came out. Don't know how long I was away (10mins?) but when I got back in there my food was there and every one else had finished. Mine was cold (chips had some warmth so I had some of those) and burger was raw in the middle. I know my way round a burger, eaten thousands of them, but that was vile. Couple of mouthfuls and I spat it out and left it!
