Is it BO or pub side 10am meet sunday?????0 -
Monster - Sunday ride is meeting at 10am, Duke WIlliam. Sassy is coming too.
Mick - Thinking about Friday but unlikely so don't wait for me. Did Brown Clee today - 15 miles or so around the perimeter. Lots of moorland tracks, sheep poo, good views and some 5 minute descents with speed
There's an excellent 2 mile tarmac climb for improving fitness. Doesn't appear to be much singletrack. Finished off with a well built downhill course - something for everyone Going back in 2 weeks to be shown some more and then hopefully I can find myself round to show other folk. 0 -
Will try to get there early Saturday morning after dropping my wife at work.0
-
10am not likely, think I'm off to the peaks Sunday.
Brown Clee sounds vaguely interesting be good to do something different occasionally, count me in 1 of the days, use 2 cars though and ferry that 2 mile road bit 0 -
Will def be doing the wyre from 2PM on Sunday. @ the Duke.Crashing hard since 94...0
-
Tomorrow morning bright and early I think i am going to give it a bash!0
-
Me + 2 to 3 others will be there at the Duke for 10am my other group fancys a trip to the forest rather than mainly road riding finally.
Got to be back for 1pm ish though should be enough!!
Nice and wet tonight, should make it fun 0 -
Not really, but it just feels that way they aren't single track only riders like we hard core riders.
See you around 12, when my eyes start working, morning people!!!
Then off to Sheffield for a evening ride with other mates, then peaks tommorow, I'm sounding like Graham, arrghhhh.0 -
Just came past the Duke William. There is a race marshallstanding on the road and signs up saying "Race Car Park". Not sure what is going on but parking could be difficult this morning.
Will try and park at Duke William. Alternatives are the Visitors Centre at £2 for the day or turn left just before the Visitors Centre (from the direction of Bewdley), signposted Lyehead and Crossbank. Turn off the main road and park on the left.
If we are all parking in different places, I suggest meeting at the Visitors Centre on the bikes ready to go about 10:15am.0 -
Next ride is Tomorrow night over clent starting from Adams hill car park at 7:15.
Will probably be about 2h30 long. Then i'll do a little loop to try out a new light after that.
Myself, MP, Turveyd38 and SassySarah are confirmed, anyone else is more than welcome.

How bad is the mud in the wyre ?0 -
beermonsta...
It wasn't too bad at all.......considering all the rain we have had.....I only rode the jedi, garlic run, ankle cracker etc......I stayed on that side of the wyre as I only went out for just over an hour....
Not sure about the camber & caravan...I would imagine its muddy, it pi$$ed it down here for most of yesterday....0 -
camber and caravan were not too bad on monday nite !!
we have had lots of rain since then though.
three bears was a nightmare as it was raining whilst we were doing it and going across all those roots scared me!! :? :?0 -

The roots on three bears are nasty get them wrong and it's a long way down that bank0 -
Moggy, Sassy's only getting @40% travel, I can't push it myself much past 70%, reckon the coils are setup for a 18stone+ rider, do you reckon we'd get away with removing 1 of the 2 coils ?? Are they both the same in each leg ???
Reckon that'll get @100% travel, might have to add some preload, no chance of sourcing the correct springs these days I reckon!!0 -
I said last week that i had changed the oil and put heavier weight in as that was all i had, with lighter oil and maybe a little less than the 120cc recommended they should be good.
I'll try and get some new seals too if i can.0 -
The oil will only change the damping not the amount of travel she's getting though, thats entirely based on the strength of the coils so 1 coil not to and be fine.
2Min job to take a coil out so have to try it, worked on a mates RST's years ago which where twin coil and getting @60% travel.
There plush and very active despite the limited travel so not worried about the oil thickness, likely be over active compression wise with 5's.0 -
lads what forks are you on about as oil volume in some forks can affect travel!!0
