    Can you make a ride friday afternoon or are you devon bound ?

    Sorry mate, off to Devon first thing in the morning...back Monday night. :)

    Just got back from the wyre, knackered after 2 hours though....but the conditions are great.....the camber and caravan run are really good at the moment... I also had a go on the three bears trail.....dusty!

    Get in there while you can....before the rain on Saturday :D

    What bike have you ordered Capt Yeti ??

    Wyre was great, but me and Chris where knackered and riding badly so didn't do too much.

    Which one is the 3 bears ??? never heard of that name before ??

    Off to the peaks for some playing around for the weekend :)

    Yes it is, we usually meet around 10am at the Duke William car park.... :D

    It is quite technical, I did it last Thursday when it was nice and dry, a good trail on a dry day!

    I would be up for a Welsh trail centre over the Easter break.....I will just need to make sure I have a permission slip from the other half ! LOL Which centre ? and which day ?

    Cant do Weds night, its my b'day ! :o

    Chase if it's wet ?? errr, Clent is MUCH better than the chase will ever be, just without the feeling of being in the middle of know where as the Chase is huge ish.

    Malverns are a damn good wet weather choice though, better than the chase.

    Good ride last night, quite a fast group, dont know how Capt Yeti kept up on his tiny bike!

    Was nice to do a full route and still be back at a reasonable hour, you would of struggled to keep up dylan, everyone was even fast on the downs, especially the little whippet known as Dan!

    Tues might be possible for a wales ride. Where were you thinking!


    Wed again next week, but maybe clent this time!

    Dan was chuffed at the comment, was a good riding, really loving Wyre, def faster/more technical than chase FTD 8) But there is stuff on the chase as good if you know where to look dyl :wink: will have to take you guys over see if we can persude you :idea:

    Should be on for next week, Clent or Wyre is fine for us, will keep ya posted. Cant do wales though :(

    Sorry I missed it :( Even if I woulda struggled ( nothing new there then ), sadly I got the all clear then talking my way outta it DOH!!!!

    Eddie, I've got a mate who's a Chase expert so I've ridden it alot, too much damn fireroad inbetween section thats are just to short as the chase doesn't have the height gains and losses that the Wyre does or Clent.
