Hey only on those rocky scarey bits!!

I fear I'm becoming old and sensible in my old age, need to do something stupid in my old age to shock myself out of it, Ice climbing on the weekend it is I think

We're wanting to get out for a blast tomorrow but don't know where yet...is anyone likely to be out in the Wyre or Clent, approx mid morning?

sassysarah

May go out tomorrow day if anyone fancies it?

It will be a slow one thou as have a bit of a cold at the mo :roll:

BB's seized, too many weeks of no use, ordered but guess it'll be end of next week, good job I've got the rigid.

Anyone else going on the Cannock Social Ride on Thursday?

oldmtber

Just as well nobody else went on the Cannock Social Ride - 3 of us turned up that I know of but not the guy from Chase Skills! 100 mile round trip for a very muddy ride round the Dog!
Grrrrr!

missgroover

So they guy who organised it didn't even turn up? What an idiot. Hope you guys boycott him in the future!
It was horrendously wet up there when we went on Tuesday after the thaw overnight. I had lakes in my socks by the end :?

When's everyone back at work? I'm not back til Weds so could fancy a potter on Tues if anyone's out, and I've done some work (which I keep putting off). I imagine the Wyre is pretty damp too!

oldmtber

Apparently he did turn up but obviously did not look round for people he did not know. He must have been stood right next to the 3 of us!! Now very apologetic!
The worst mud I've ever seen on the Chase so I expect Wyre is even worse after the thaw.
Looking forward to Sassy's S Wales trip now and may be a bit busy during the week.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

monster-mash

To you also Tony and all

I had a couple of hours in the Wyre yesterday and yep its well muddy also a fair bit of ice about still which I suppose will only make matters worse when the ground fully thaws.
Have fun

sassysarah

I was quite surprised it wasn't worst It was muddy but not unrideable. A few slip and slides but hey that all adds to the fun

missgroover

Ah yes forgot about the weekend trip. I'm not in a position to go for various reasons. I may take a solo potter in teh Wyre, keep saying I'm going to but never manage it!

crip

Hi there finaly made it down the wyre yesterday, sadly was unable to hang about and come for a bimble with the crowd due to having to get back, but fully intend to come over at some point, need to improve my fitness a bit first,(not wanting to hold any one up!) Think i may have said hello to a couple of the crowd also, chap with flory jacket and bike with alfine/rholff hub coming up the fire road towards the main road and young lady coming out of layby of full sus bike? Anyway i'll keep an eye on the forum and facebook page and try and get out soon. All the best ,chris.

MilitantGraham

Hi crip, yes that was me who overtook you up the fire road on my way from home to meet everyone at the Duke William.
Don't worry about keeping up.
I tend to use riding to and from the meeting place as my training ride. The group will always stick together at the pace of the slowest rider.

sassysarah

Well spottted Chris i was that young lady

Like Graham said don't worry about the pace or being unfit...I used to think exactly the same but it so much more fun riding in a group and we're all quite relaxed and friendly...no body mines waiting

monster-mash

Young Lady (lol)

I have seen 50% wrong but not 100%

Looking forward to the weekend Sas
