ooh, maybe I wont drink so much tonight then heh. Where abouts would we meet? Is it up that New Road off Rough Common Road, i recall a car park being mentioned up there which I saw through the trees in Google Earth.
Fitted new rear cable and outer to the Inbred at lunch so its good to go. Forks and brakes dont work but thats not the end of the world heh0 -
Yeah i'm still riding tomorrow. Was thinking of heading over there about 12ish, would be great he you two can come along too, and i can do later if that's better for you.breezer wrote:Reminds me of a race prepared M3 I saw parked up in someones drive the other day with the 2 drivers names in the rear side windows, one being Fo Kinkwik
Now there is just NO way thats a real name despite asian ones sometimes being potentially funny to an english person
I will be at a friends for New Year. Did I hear muttering about a ride at Blean tomorrow?0 -

Man i am so bored at work.0 -
I am as well. I am even bored of surfing on ebay etc heh. Going to leave at 4 instead of 5 I think as no management here, sod them! Quick session on the xbox then prepare stuff for ride tomorrow and head to my friends for a can or 60

Worst moment of the year. Though it was funny at the time.0 -
:shock: holy crap
did you leave your bikes outside or was that just from standing with them :shock:0 -
I was returning from a belgium tarmac rally where I had been servicing for a friend, never been on a ferry with it snowing in the middle of the channel before!

Luckily I have my own smartphone running memory map so if/when he buggers off, I can find my own way back to the car at a sensible pace

Thats on the 2nd day of riding the SDW, after riding 65ish miles the first day and keen to complete it we encountered that. All that snow feel in about 30mins! :shock: Was a bit shiity as it really dissapointed us all not finishing.
Yeah its andy the mountain goat He was the only fucker that had tights and over shoes, he was nice and warm. I had gaffer tape over my summer shoes
This is from the completed SDW trip in the same spot.
Bit of a difference,0 -
How the hell do you ride 65 miles in 1 day on bridleways etc, I would struggle to do half that
I will have to beast him on the downhills tomorrow with my elite "omg my brakes dont work" skillz 0 -
Downhills? Blean? You need hills before there are up and down varietiesbreezer wrote:How the hell do you ride 65 miles in 1 day on bridleways etc, I would struggle to do half that
I will have to beast him on the downhills tomorrow with my elite "omg my brakes dont work" skillz Its fairly flat but theres some great singletrack.
65 miles involved some proper hills too. First time round i thought i was going to die, second attempt was much more bearable and was amazing fun. Defo do another endurance ride in 2009 8)0 -
Glad you got GPS, you can help out when i get us lost thenbreezer wrote:Luckily I have my own smartphone running memory map so if/when he buggers off, I can find my own way back to the car at a sensible pace My memory is so crap i still go the wrong way....a lot :roll: Hopefully it should be pretty dry still, just about to head over there so will let you know when i get back.
Yeah that is me on the right, just remembered how cold i was then! No the worst moment was the ride to Brighton station!! And the 4 hours spent hanging round stations with no heating whatsoever and in stage 1 hypothermia!
You still coming tomorrow Steve?0 -
Bedgebury is quite flat but the actual height ridden over a lap is quite a lot according to my friend with a altimeter thing in his speedo or whatever they are called.
Andy: It was you that wanted the Pitch wasnt it? New MBR that came out yesterday gave the £1399 Pitch Pro 10/10 fyi, 30.6lb not to bad considering heavy coil Pikes etc, room to lighten quite a bit as things wear out although wtih 150 out back you could probably get away with some of the new 32 Talas 150's heh0 -
