Dan Clark Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Bitching ride yesterday with some Leeds regulars and half of the Tartybike crew. Weather was pretty glorious until the wind turned arctic towards the end, but instead of showing off the lovely blue skies (and Stan's purple and yellow beast) I've made everything black and white because I'm in a black and white mood. Congrats to Ali C for getting 6 punctures at once, Stan for pinching on the same gap twice in a row, and Rockman for failing to spell Manus. Lesson of the day: Whatever you can do, Ali can do better, but with no brakes. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was cool to meet up too. lol at everyone talking about the puntures, that was only the 3rd time I have had one on that bike, it just so happened to be more punctures on that one day than I have had in the last two years!

Bronz Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Some nice shots there, shame I had to shoot off edit: I allmost forgot about bronze? I think he was called hes a nice lad if a bit shy I'd blame that on the hangover more than anything...... Haha nah, I'm not shy in the slightest. Carl's right, I'd been out the night before and had three hours sleep. I fell asleep for an hour as soon as I got in from the ride yesterday! Nice meeting everyone, first meet-up ride I've ever been on, that was. Edited March 14, 2010 by Bronz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 very slightly rolled my ankle twice recently, nothing painful but enough to get me paranoid so I got an ankle brace just to give me confidence and to make sure I am fit to ride for The clan. the kneepads are just to look rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Were you at Shipley today? No, unfortunately not. I missed out, had some mother's day stuff organised. I might try and turn up in the easter weekend though. Were you there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I was. Some dude was there who looked fairly similar to you who was riding a mod, thought it may have been you. Having no idea what you look like apart from your profile pic and not being able to remember what wheel size you rode made guessing if it was you pretty hard...

You should have said, 'is any of you Revolver?' Haha, well, Ben was the guy on the zenith, Josh has the baby pitbull, and Flipp's got the ole levelboss. I've got a zoot at the mo, but I'm quite considering a because shortly. I just hope there's a black one still in stock when I buy it. Also, those guys are all a great deal better than me.

Stan Shaw Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Lovely pictures Dan. Look sweet in black & white. As for the ride, lets say it was an interesting day haha, I didn't ride very well for most of it, but there were some very funny moments lol, it was also good to meet some new faces! 10 punctures in the space of 20 minutes was it? Got to be some form of record haha! :$ Edited March 15, 2010 by Stan Shaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cant_ride Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Hey Dan ace pics! I'm coming to get my wheels in two weeks and then maybe I'll be able to come back to Leeds by the time I'm 90, when I finally get a bike built. Looks like a savage ride over there! I'll be brakeless too; purely because I can't afford to buy any! Olios Edited April 26, 2010 by cant_ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
