FSR_XC

Always interested in going for a ride!

RIKO

Always up for a ride I'd be up for setting something up

helen coakley

is it just a bloke thing or can girls come tooo...thought about settng something up running from the cycle cafe in Bisseo....was going to wait until the end of March...it would be a way to find new routes etc..

helen coakley

should say it would be more xc rater than full on downhill....

RIKO

My missus rides too, up for any type of riding really dh,xc whatever just so long as it stops raining for more than 5 minutes!

FSR_XC

I was thinking about going to Dumere (Bodmin) on Sunday afternoon - even if it is raining!

I could possibly be pursuaded to got to Bissoe - gotta start at Smokey Joe's in Blackwater though.

If we do sort out a club, can I suggest we meet in different places so we can try out different areas.

Matteeboy

FSR - couild be a plan.
Know the Bissoe/Poldice area pretty well. Our local woods (Idless) are also good for a smallish blast.

Rain holds no fear for us and now wife has her new bike (see sig - picked up yesterday) we should be out more often.

Riko - where in Truro? We are in Malpas Village.

helen coakley

sounds like a plan...away this weekend but up for riding anywhere new...dont mind where we meet it would be great to find out some new routes, new areas..

FSR_XC

So is that Bissoe or do people want to go out to Bodmin?

& please, no excuses for a bit of water.

Lets see how many we can get out!


btw I like night rides toooooooooooo . . . . . . . .. .

RIKO

I've got to be places on sunday afternoon so Bissoe would work best for me try Bodmin next time.
Mark, my gears do work now so I should be a little bit quicker than last time!
Matteeboy I'm just off tregolls road.

So people up for an early ish start Sunday say 8-9 am? meet up at Smokey Joes?
I've checked the weather report and Amazingly it say's so far it may not rain!

Matteeboy

Oh darn darn darn - just remembered (I can be rather thick) that I have a stag do in London tbis weekend - coming back late Sunday.

Not a made up excuse - we are going to the "dogs" in Wimbledon and got a client meeting on Friday.

All have loads of fun and I WILL make a meet soon.

Hi, I would be interested in tagging along, unfortunately I ride with the wheelers on a Sunday morning. If you ever go on a Saturday do let me know. I was out on the Bissoe trail this weekend just been with a friend, and we got a little wet you could say. Good fun mind, shame I picked up a cold.

kyle2brown

Fun? . . . . . . yeh, need a new tyre though.

Is it too early to think about the coming weekend?

Matteeboy

Not necessarily. Not sure what we're up to but the surf is looking poor yet again so could well be a big mission - new Rockhopper has not had more than it's usual daily ten milers so far.

warm18

hello, only just found this. i might be free the coming weekend if anyone fancies any riding.

xc all be it not hugely fast on the uphills!?

RIKO

Could well be up for a ride at the weekend got a few things on but should know more tomorrow hopefully the trials should have less than a foot and a half of water! funny though!

For anyone that knows Bissoe, we rode through the stream last time out. It was a little deep - like chain submerged deep!
Note: Waterproof socks only work if the water doesn't pour in from the top!


Anyway - who fancies Dunmere on Sunday?

warm18

wheres dunmere? and yes i may well be free

Matteeboy

Dunmere is Bodmin way.

Will see what I'm up to - social secretary (wife) has yet to announce my diary for the weekend!
