What you all got planned for the weekend?

Me, i'm returning to the hallowed land and will be doing some riding in Afan Argoed plus some 'local trails for local people' trails.

    Hallowed land? Afan is not in Yorkshire :D

    I think Ladybower/Derwent Valley for me this weekend although if its miserable then I'll ride from my door and into The Peaks and back on my local loop.

    Really tempted by a visit to a trail center though with Dalby and Llandegla being approximately the same distance.

    quiet tonight, a mates birthday party in a Quoiting Club Saturday, then hopefully (depending on the ferocity of the drinking on saturday) riding on sunday.....

    No uplift at inners this weekend (i think....it WAS on last weekend), so might get some DH on the go....or caberston forest.
    Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

    Got a nice 30 mile loops planned for Saturday morning around the South Downs northish of Chichester. Final descent is 3 miles of fun, can't wait especially as last time we were over there my motion control cartridge failed in my fork so i had to trundle down it whilst my mates bombed down and had grins from ear to ear at the bottom :(

    I'm getting my bike back tomorrow after a small warranty fix which ended up taking ages... And the weather looks decent here, so I'm going to go up into the hills and fall in a reservoir most likely. It's going to be GREAT! I want to finish breaking up the old bike too and start in on reviving the worn old parts and figuring out what it needs to get it going again.
