Mark

Surf-Matt

Sorry Steve and Mark - got to dip out. We were going to stay at the inlaws (very nearby) but both have bad colds so staying here - but going on Timmo's ride instead!

Good luck both of you - I'm a bit gutted tbh

hagace

anyone want to but a second hand X-0 rear mech? only slightly destroyed!! good news ithink i can save the jockey wheel . congrats to mark as he came in 3rd. same position as me nearly i think i was 3rd as well(from bottom that is!)

rear mech disintegrated half way round 1st lap. then had to run back to start to beg loan bike from certinis THANKS GUYS then start off from the start again.

good fun(apart from the broken bits!!) highly recommended will definitely be up for round 2!

steve

Surf-Matt

DAMN!
We had a good ride but really missed the race - will go for round 2. Nice one Mark!

Timmo - that was great fun. Cheers for arranging it -really good mix of terrains and not much road stuff - ideal.

Good to see all the newer faces too.

allthegearnoidea

oh no steve! thats not so good! atleast you could get a bnike to carry on though!!
well done mark! impressive stuff!!!

Matt, thanks matey! was a good turn out too and always worried it wont suit as much as i hoped! but seemed to be alright!! the bridleways from when you and the others pealed of due to time were Super muddy and a lot of fun! haha! but seemed to go well!!

have put my pics up on the club facebook page and will attempt a write up drekly!!

my Nipples were nearly rubbed raw too! not so good and odd as not had that issue with the base latyer before! But i now have the littluns nappy rash cream onthem!

Not fit at the moment. Too many pies, not enough riding. Planning on doing the one in March

You could put on 2 stone & still do well in the fun race!

Steve
Winstanleys do an X9 for £49, as do Merlin. You might be able to one a little cheaper, but remember Certini will price match it for you.

Bet your glad I showed you that hill before the race now eh? Sorry you had a slight problem, I was looking forward to racing with you at the front.

Great day. Soooooo muddy. The bl00dy grassy hill was stupid! On lap 2 I got to the top and although pedaling, I wasn't moving. Got off in the end.

Matt
The only reason I did so well was 'cause I hadn't seen you at the start, so I thought I was chasing you!
BTW Matt, I was told they are doing a duathlon there in Feb.

helen coakley

well done FSR...top result

FSR_XC

Thanks Helen.

Night ride this week?

Surf-Matt

Mark - LOL! Nicely done though. Very impressed - those road miles you ndo really seem to help too.

Let me know about the night right - might not be able get out but I do fancy doing one at some stage. Done a few on my own now!

helen coakley

Fri night would be best for me....make sure your tyres are flat...gives us a sporting chance to keep up..

Surf-Matt

If it's wet (which it is all the time!) then Mark is faster. And probably if it's dry too now!
Have you got a new Epic Helen? A guy from yesterday thought you had. My current favourite bike.

helen coakley

I have the 2007 epic..sadly not the 2009 which is lush...

may be one day.. :?:

FSR_XC

Helen

I'll get back to you.

Can't see Friday being an issue. I'll probably come straight from work as I'm in Camborne currently.

FSR_XC

Night ride - Fri 21/11

For anyone interested. Meeting at Volvo garage in Truro at 5.45pm on Friday.

I have a new light to try out . . . .

Surf-Matt

Mark - another new light?!! :shock:
