It was the begining of April again and time for a little celebration. It was around this time 3 years ago that we opened our little shop. For the second year running we’ve invited a few customers and a couple of guys from Surly Bicycle Corporation have come over to play. This year they insisted on going for a ride in the sunshine and the Northern Weather Gods smiled down on us.<\/p>\n

A Big Red Bus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Our friends at URBED<\/a> provided a Routmaste bus into which we shoe-horned 20 or so fat bikes, mid-fat bikes and some other stuff, mostly people. Fuelled by sweeties we headed out towards Marsden Moor.  Marvelling at the great weather we were looking forward to getting out for a ride.
And ride we did, whooping and swooping – little people in a big Pennine landscape. <\/p>\n

Mid ride fuel stop before we headed for the canal to make our way back to the big city. <\/div>\n

Once back we tucked into a few slices of Pizza and Beer. A few people who couldn’t make the ride due to having to work for a living popped by during the evening and once the pizza ran out we made short work of the fantastic Clown Cake provided by Karen<\/a><\/div>\n

We moved on to the Castle pub to wash that down with one or two halves of shandy :o)<\/div>\n
See y’all next year…<\/div>\n

ps
in case you missed it this much fun couldn’t have been accomplished without the help of;
Surly Bikes<\/a>
Ison Distribution<\/a>
Slice Pizza<\/a>
Karens Baking Room<\/a>
and the fine Big Red Bus driving skills of Charlie from URBED <\/a><\/p>\n

also the lenses of;
