    Sounds good - what's your new bike?
  • It's a Kona Dawg 06 frame which I got of ebay in excellant condition. Then got it bulit up with hope 2 hubs, dt rims, RS revalation forks, XT shifters, mechs and brakes and race face evolve cranks. I had quick ride on it the other day when I picked it up from LBS and it felt just right for me.

    Oh i will.

    Seriously though, if the weather holds i may get the train from here (Slough) to Reading and ride home along the thames, about 25-30 miles i think, nice gentle pace, stopping at a couple of fine ale establishments along the way, make a day of it. If the weathers poo i'll just go for a quick hour blast.

    was thinkning Afan, but am now thinking of staying in bed.
  • A few of us are thinking of checking this place out

    http://www.trailblazerz.net/

    Anyone been?? Any info would be appreciated.
  • Nipping out of work early to do the usual off road commute but with the added extras I don't normally have time for.

    Its raining so the off camber pine roots should be fun 8)

  • Haven't been out for a while (bloomin' DIY :evil: ) So probably headed up to Queen Elizabeth Country Park for a play on saturday as the weather looks better!
    Proved by testing to be faster than a badger.
    The world's ultimate marmite bike
  • no where :/
    got a brand new 07 marin attack trail frame if that makes sense, waiting for some wheels from merlins though (hope pro II, mavic xm719) and then i can swap the bits from my on-one inbred over to the marin and then i've already got bits to make the on-one a commuter/pub bike. woohoo can't bloomin wait for these wheels!
    i got a bmx though so skateparks are very much an option..... if its dry.

    Local woods for a couple of hours tomorrow.

    It was so dry and fast last weekend after weeks of mud - hoping it's still that way.
  • Broken a toe so no riding for me :x

    i tried riding yesterday and just dropping off curbs was agony! injuries are no fun, it doesn't even look cool! just like a normal toe thats a bit swollen

    my mum suggested i go out and get a job instead.

    i didn't dignify it with an answer.
    I took falling off bikes...and turned it into an art!
