    Still not working for me on any level back here at base now.

    Worked OK on my Iphone through O2 internet, but not back here when on BT broadband.

    Im gonna have to walk down the road away from my wifi and use my phone to contribute to Sketchy!

    try command prompt again with

    ipconfig /flushdns

    That worked for mark as his ps3 was ok but his PC had cached the old dns record meaning his router had got the new info, yours may not have but worth a try

    The regular ride @ Blean 18:45 is on tonight.
    All are welcome. Pittpony can't make it tonight as he seems to think girls are more important than bikes :shock: :roll:

    Click SketchyMTB below for more info. :wink:

    I'll be there. Looking forward to it, just weighing up whether it is worth chasing the tiny kink out of my wheel! Probably not, but it would beat sitting in the office!!

    the new part is called Bridgefield. They have just started building on the Mersham side of the A2070 which is being called "The Cheesmans Green Development" and will stretch almost all the way to you!!

    Ive not been out for while as i play football as well but my interest in that has dwindled so im now looking for riding buddies!! Im out in the morning as well, hence no drinking tonight!!!!! :cry:

    as for the new riders bit, i was a new rider just before christmas and have been treated kindly, all of the guys ive ridden with have been good fun and whats more good motivators !, there is a wide range of skills and fitness aswell so if you get on a big ride there will be someone going the same speed as you you can have a chat with/race :P
