SLEEPLESS IN THE SADDLE

The weekend of the 9/10th August is Shimano Sleepless in the Saddle. I have one definite, and one
maybe cry-offs from my team.

I would like to offer a once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride round Trentham Gardens (Stoke) for
24hrs. Pain, exhilaration, exhaustion guaranteed!

If you fancy it let me know.

Phil

Cheers Phil - I'll not be up for that! I'll not be back from my honeymoon until the Sunday anyhow,
but there's no way on earth I'd want to do that sort of ride - just not the way I get my jollies
mate! ',;~}~

Thanks for the thought anyway, heheheh......

Shaun aRe will be riding for 7 days straight soon enough anyhow, heheheh.........

Make the most of it - I'm reminded of the old joke:

Why do Brides smile on the way to the Altar? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .
. . . . . Because they know they'll never have to give another blow job :-)

Sadly I too am already spoken for that w/e - though I think the broader point of getting UK

Your brush is too wide to paint an individual picture, Westie - best stick to painting the John wall

You can appear to be as cynical or bitter and twisted as you want - only you know whether that
appearance is or is not a true reflection of your reality ',;~}~

Shaun aRe - After today, the next time you hear from me, I'll be happily married.

Anyone up for hitting Snowdon en-masse the first day of the new season, i.e. 1st October - (Yup, a

They could, but then you'd have to live on Shaun's salary...

I'm in the UK this weekend, but don't think 'er indoors would be too happy with me clearing off to
do an mtb marathon.

The next big one is Mountain Mayhem July 2004. I'll be there, but probably with my usual gang.
Sounds like a good idea though, we could at least meet-up for a pasta party and put names to faces.

fantastic descent.

Can we make it near a weekend? Just makes travelling over a little easier on the holiday
entitlement.
