I can't do tonight unfortunately. Finally feeling better, but gotta go sit and listen to a teacher waffling.pittpony wrote:Andy, Ade, anyone else... On for a night ride tomorrow? I haven't been on my bike for almost 3 weeks and football just isn't a good enough substitute - i feel LAZY!! 6.45, Rough Common? You know it makes sense!
I should be good for Sunday though. I'll let you know for defo tomorrow. Where was the final chosen venue?
You may now return to cars and being uber-friendly :shock: . Next time we all go away, whoever books the B&B, can I request a single room.0 -
Oh Russ - that means i have to order exactly the same thing now so i can continue to be like you
Looks like a good solution, did it end up costing you much? I'm happy with the bikes in the back for the time being, just need to dig out some old sheets to catch the worst of the mud.
Andy - i'm happy just to get out for a ride so we can steer clear of the singletrack if you like. Is 6.45 ok for you? Any other takers?
Mark - how early on Sunday??? :shock:0 -

I was going to request you have a single room after your snoring on the SDW
We decided to go to Swinley on Sunday0 -
Mark - yup i know, the ones they had online looked like the rubbish ones. Where did you get your decent one from?
Nick - Cost £150 all in but i have to fit it myself, its cheaper than going down the roof rack option. Its just been annoying me having to put it in the car so much and when having 2 in the back, plus i can take 3 people now.
Ade - I dont understand your avater
Early Sunday is good for me to.0 -

Nick- 6:45 is fine with me, i'll meet you in the car park to save any confusion. Should be a lot better today as it has been sunny all day.....hopefully :roll:0 -
Well good news is i should have my bike back for Sunday.
But double bad news is that.....
1 Stumpy MK 2 has died.
2 i wont have time to copter tape my NEW frame.
Nick early as possible please (Russ said so as well ) also neil will have to be back earyish if he is going to come to swinley.
Russ got my "good" bar from HalFrauds but you can borrow it on free of charge hire for a few months if you would like, or you could just steal it like Andy tried to
Hands up if you think i should do frame limitation tests for Specializedhttp://www.sketchymtb.co.uk/Blah.pl the new XC in Kent

I'm not gonna be make Sunday after all
Apparently Xmas is coming soon and I've gotta go wandering round 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 shops spending money on Barbie Dolls and Peppa Pigs instead of wheels and frames. :roll:
Although maybe Deadpool's got the right idea. Buy 1 Specialized, get 3 free :shock: Deal of the century.0 -
OK Andy - car park at 6.45 it is. I reckon it'll still be very wet but at least its not raining!
Sooo, what time are we meeting on Sunday? It'll be 2 hours drive for me. I guess you don't class 10 as being early??0 -
By the way Andy - my phone battery is deader than my credibility on this forum so if you need to call later i won't be able to answer.
Mark - did they replace with an 09 frame? Do you just do it to keep up with this seasons colour?? Actually, what colour will your new frame be? Maybe you should persuade them to replace it for something a bit more rugged??

Mark, i can't beleave you got another new frame :shock: What was wrong with it, i thought it was just a squeeky bush? I was concidering getting a Pitch Pro, but the rate your destroying Specialized's finest i am starting to change my mind.............again
I'd prefer early too on Sunday, what time were you thinking?0 -

Had a good ride round surrey today but it was extremly slippery and yes you may be shocked but i fell off twice, once at a fair speed down barry knows best. Think all the rain and that combined with the amount of leaves on the ground is making the ground like an ice ring.I also saw some photographers taking pics for a magazine, luckily they didnt see it,
Mark is a jammy git huh, lets hope he looks after this one a bit more. Ill proberly buy one of those thingys but i wouldnt mind borrowing another one for when i have other people along.
Ben, i recorded the dirtworker in action i wont be able to upload it till late this eveing though.
Ade, shame about sunday how about arranging to go shopping in bracknell and then say to the wife your popping to the toilet but come and do a quick lap instead??0 -

I have not seen it yet but the guy at the bike shop said it was a like for like replacemet i.e 08 stumpy pro they said that the rear triangle was out of alignment by a fraction thats why i keep destroying the bearings on the left side only.
Andy Spesh Pitch looks very very good vaule for money and i can vouch for spesh if anything goes wrong (lifetime frame warrenty)

Glad you had a good ride Russ - i bet some bits were quite "sketchy"! :shock: Hope the crash wasn't too bad - sure you're glad you weren't pictured :oops:
Just got back from a good blast round Blean but it was quite a short ride. A couple of weeks off the bike have done nothing for my goat powers Good to get out all the same
Sooo - what time on Sunday? Any advance on 10??0 -
Yeah i think i'v finally decided on the Pitch. Apparently the geometry is identical to the Enduro, and everyone seems to rave about the handling of that. I like the slack head angle too, with my tendancy to have my weight too far forward that might help a bitdeadpool2e wrote:pittpony wrote:By the way Andy - my phone battery is deader than my credibility on this forum so if you need to call later i won't be able to answer.
