Wednesday @ Blean @ 18:45 is ON
I've got a working bike again :P
I do hope no one near Blean is planning an early night or has a new baby, cos that brand spanking new hub sounds like a gatling gun at full pelt :shock: :twisted:
Wow, I wonder if it'll ever quieten down

Lets go back to plan a and meet in the usual place, as my directions appear to be as bad as ever :roll: Paul is hopefully coming too if he can get out of work in time. We had an awsome ride round Thorndon today, and i think we should do the same tomorrow. You guy's will love it! 0 -
Great news about the bike Ade 8)
Thornden sounds good for tomorrow as it's been a while since i was over there. 6.45 at the usual place then 0 -
Thorndon sounds good. Good to hear Lost-Time's gonna come along. 8) Any one else?
BTW, anyone got a decent set of cable/outer cutters I can borrow? :oops:0 -
Yeah i have some decent ones, i'll bring them along tomorrow.impished wrote:Thorndon sounds good. Good to hear Lost-Time's gonna come along. 8) Any one else?

So jealous your all going for a ride, tomorrow i will be playing with my new helmet camera so expect some test videos.
Good news about the bike all fixed Ade. You get used to the noise after a while, it comes in handy when you gota get past walkers.0 -
I see the Meta's neerly finnished, have you ridden it yet? I am sure you wouldn't let the lack of saddle and seatpost stop youRussAlf wrote:So jealous your all going for a ride, tomorrow i will be playing with my new helmet camera so expect some test videos.

I might be getting me an 09 frame hopefully before the end of the year. Although i keep finding myself looking on the Santa Cruz site a lot lately :roll: 0 -
Yep, should be out of work by 17:00ish so that should give me time to do some shopping on the way home too.
With all these Hope Pro 2 hubs we will have to freewheel in unison at the same speed just to get the most of the clicks... :roll: 8)0 -
The Invisible Man (Papasmurf) will be joining us later.

I'm really looking forward to this. I haven't been out in a week and am getting a bit twitchy not having exercised for a few days!0 -
Well seems my new nickname is stuck eh
Of course if anyone asks how I got it, I'll just have to say I'm such a super duper rider than I leave you lot in my dust 0 -

Now would be a good time for Neil aka Thorpy82 to turn up
And for those of you who don't know.. In my efforts to put together a new trail, I came across a long puddle which a land rover had made. Started out fine with the water about 2 inches from my disk brakes. Next it covered my crankset and shortly after I could only see my stem bar - Of course I won't mention this if you lot was ever to ride said trail...
Oh and yes, I got quite rightly f**king soaked 0 -

MOUNTAIN BIKING- The pastime of spending large sums of money you don't really have on something you don't really need.0 -
hmm not seen that thread, will have to look later heh
perhaps this is off topic as its not kent but my ride on the Downs last night wasnt great due to my friends freewheel dying after about 4 miles! Made worse by the fact the idiot knew it was going as it was slipping at the weekend, he had bought a new one but didnt fit it as his girlfriend told him to do the hoovering! Pathetic! Still had some fun on the downhills though!0 -

Did you guys ride last (thursday night)?
Andy, sorry for wussing out on wednesday...I didn't have any energy. I realised afterwards that I'd only eaten 1x Kellogs ellevenses, 2x bananas, 1x satsuma and a couple of slices of malt loaf all day. That on top of running around on my new job plus the fact that on tuesday night after our ride I only had a 'light' salad... I must have been totally bonked. And after cactching my handlebar in my mouth after our portage section I had lost all incentive to ride...! Oh well, lesson learnt!
Catch up with you soon

Got some video footage but the camera doesnt like the dark
Sadly I wasnt filming when my friend reinacted that famous Morris Minor (?) scene from Fawly Towers and started attacking the back of his bike with a large stick in an attempt to get the freewheel to engage 0
