    Roger will likely want to ride at 8am if I know him, if so might be able to squeeze it in.

    Nah, most likely be 10 am, chap's who are coming aren't early birds. :)

    Sorry we missed you guys over the weekend at Coedy. Probably wouldn't have joined you anyway as the other half was on a mission!
    We went again yesterday to make the most of the fab weather - not often I come back from Wales with a tan 8)

    Are you guys still meeting at 10 as I would like to tag along if thats ok, as my last visit to the Wyre ended up in getting very lost!

    Might not be able to attend this weekend as I might be slightly worse for wear after saturdays antics

    Martin 9 - I think there is a group going out at 7:15pm from the Duke tonight. See the facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/?sk=2361831622# ... 3151384130

    bell46 - I don't think anyone is out this Sunday but I could be wrong. Are you doing Bristol Bikefest by any chance?

    The next time I'm out in the Wyre is Saturday 26th June - showing some other riders around, you're welcome to join us.

    New Frame well 2nd hand but barely used Rocky Mountain Element ( dunno the model, Custom ?? maybe so a 30 with different graphics ), 80mm racey rear end with Carbon seat stays, rp23 shock, bolted on front mech for £550, should fingers crossed pick it up Wednesday / Thursday and build it up that day really.

    p.s. no it won't be washed and yes it will get scratched and scuffed and no I won't care, thanks!!

    Hey Dyl how you doing

    Sorry dude, I'm going to have to be Square in this case.

    GT's dead really and skint client hasn't paid me yet, do a few hours on the rigid is my plan burn some fat, I was going to do a night ride tonight but I sat down and failed :(


    100mm rear suspension not 80, thats better and 30mm's more than the GT's ever gotten despite being a 120mm bike.

    Hey Dyl - got talking with a guy today who has a GT I-Drive frame (I5) not sure if its the same as yours but if yer interested I will mail him and see what he wants.

    Good ride today in cannock bit slippy on them stones in the wet but well worth it.
    That place get so busy theres even a Railway working on the level crossing gate now, maybe had a few close ones.

    May see you next week.

    Moggy they do say it's a 12year old design, your is single pivot so similar, tweaked over the years and good bearings all round, loads of them which does worry me. Mainly it's new effectively and cheap for a frame on it's own, do they rip you off or what for building your own.


    Sassy, Wednesday if my cash hits the account in time yes, if not maybe GT's last spin :(

    Friday maybe to, New Bike syndrome should of kicked in.


    Sunday, if your stuck I could be around, you can lead to learn your away around more and I'll back you up.


    And you missed from your list " stopping for a sleep mid single track "

    Sassy, I'll be over the wyre wed @ 7 with some other mates.
    Also planning to do Clent Thursday night too, again a 7PM start.. However this might change to a morning ride if Sue starts gurning about me pissing off out again, but fairly confident I should be good for the night run.

    Also you good for friday AM for a Pitcheroak woods run? say 10 AM start?

    If I'm free on Sunday I'll do the guiding for you. ( my pace though !)

    It wasn't that bad, it's had nearly 4 years of hard regular use but you add up all that needs fixing on it ( including new shock ) and it's not far off a new frame, new is always better :) That and the weld top tube to seat tube doesn't normally last 2years so borrowed time.


    We'll see how numerous sealed bearings hold up I guess, in comparison.


    Back to 26" wheels but with the 29er fork so Rubber Queen 2.4 is staying :)


    Your pace, we are going to need a doctor and defibulator for most of the group if they tried to keep up with you.
