Andy.
If that's you're idea of taking it easy i'm not sure you'll be welcome next weekend
Yeah looks like a good turnout for Saturday despite the silly early start (sorry :oops: )! Hope you can make it next weekend, or how about sometime in the week for a night ride? :twisted:
Well it was an hour's walking. It has no motor so to make it work at all it has to be a quite an incline, so it is a bit like walking up a mountain. I still burnt just under 1000 calories and i was only doing about 3.5mph!
Weekday evening rides are no problem, depending on weather. I don't do strong wind any more, i HATE it! Just let me know before 5, and i can't realy do before 6:30.

7.45am ?? Is that a typo LOL I must do another ride with you lot at some point, only done the one Bedgebury one so far but I am down in Hastings so quite a trek to get up Canterbury way0

One for Impished i think. I guess its about half an hours drive at that time in the morning though...NEILHEAD wrote:what time from medway should i leave???0 -
ok ill leave myself 45mins to be sure im in a silver frontera how will i spot you guys (or will you all be wearing a yellow rose ) 0

45mins should do it at that time of day. Have you found it?
We'll probably be milling about either at the entrance to the car-park (bloody height-restrictors!!!!) or in the car park. Have a look at the "forum dudes" pics to help you recognise me & PittPony.
But we tend to just say "Hi, you here for the forum ride?" when we're looking for peeps :shock:
yeah, but I checked my bike over tonight, only to find 2, yes, 2 punctures :shock: Changing inners at 21:00 (better than 06:00).... Missus thought I'd left her :twisted:PITTPONY wrote:Great ride tonight Impished - can't believe how different those trails are in the dark!! Great fun

No worries..... A little 'soggy' in places but all rideable. Imagine in the summer............
I should be good for monday. Will post here if not.
Cheers.

Argh! Just seen the piccies. Didn't even have time to do my hair :oops:
Yeah, nice ride. Nice 'n muddy!!! :twisted:
Good to meet you again Neil after all these years. Maybe Cobham next time, eh.0 -
Hi guys thank you for the tour today i really enjoyed it.Your all very welcome to join me in cobham im going out tommorow if any of you fancy it?
p.s. i told you i had my eyes shut in the second picture 0 -
Hey guy's. Glad you had a good one.
I'm up for monday. Are you meating in the car park as usual?
Hope this bloody wind dies down by then! I rode to Minnis bay on Thursday thinking the wind was mostly offshore. Wrong, headwind the entire 13 miles home, i bearly got above 10mph the whole way back. I thought my thighs were going to explode :shock:

Looks like a good ride someday ill be able to make it, how are the conditions at Blean with all this rain? should be heading there on Tuesday for a ride.
In the pictures who has the meta? pretty sure i meet him at bedgebury about a month back at the jump section. Could be mistaken though!0 -

That would be Lost Time. Hope you can make it on Monday Paul, would be nice to finally ride with you at last!

I was expecting some terrible conditions from Blean woods this weekend but despite all this rain, the trails have resisted well. Lots of the trails have been washed away, leaving the hard surface underneath. The trails toward Chartham Hatch are as good as usual! Been to Barham and rode toward Deal today, again the wind has dried most of the trails already. Not even the need to wash the bike today!

See you tomorrow,

Cheers for the offer, but I've sorted a temporary solution. 8) How many of us remember wedging a foot between fork and tyre? Sorted! 0

That'd be me in the photo. But I'm definately not the jumping kind....so it weren't me at Bedgebury!0 -
I'm suprised how rideable most of it is at the moment given all the wet weather! Its not good for my bike though. Its at the stage now that if i put it down in the mud it's so well covered i probably wouldn't find it againBlacksmith04 wrote:I was expecting some terrible conditions from Blean woods this weekend but despite all this rain, the trails have resisted well.

Cheers for the offer Nick. I ordered some last night, so I'll just use the back one more tonight :shock:, and my foot :twisted: (like the 80's all over again 8) ) If they've got any Spokey-Dokeys or Klackerz, I'll have a set
