    I'll get to kingswood... *thinks* ahh maybe not, have a good time though.
    Btw riding at Laggan Wolftrax was ace, got told off for letting my wheels leave the ground... but my excuse was, i can't control the bike lol (if it wants air, it wants air)... apart from the restraints i had on me, i had a great day.
    Danielle - Have fun up in Morzine, let us all know how good it is haha.

    Is anyone off to Bike Radar in a couple of weeks?

    Didn't ask if you fancied dalby, because I knew what the answer would be..... :wink:

    Thinking of doing a ride on the Moors on Tuesday or Wednesday evening dependent on work and the weather, if anyone can make it.

    any time is good for me, I guess later on might be better for others if you want to go out during the day. Also 24hr forecast says no rain now

    Hey all,

    Spend the last 12 days in Snowdonia, whilst I was there we managed to get to watch round 3 of the British Downhill series.

    Have a good one tomorrow, just started.

    Won't be joining you as I have sent my wheelset away for repair. Looks like you have picked the right time as it looks a bit warm in the afternoon.

    Good pics again there Matt, me and Barkey did a nice loop on the Moors on Tuesday. Think it as the last one you joined us on. Couldn't believe how dry it was. Hardly any water and no boggy bits.....

    Very freeflowing..... :lol:

    Hi Guys!

    Back from Morzine now, it was absolutely awesome!!!! Wish I didn't have to come home :cry:

    Morzine is probably the best place in the French Alps to get to everywhere round the area that is fantastic for riding. (I would say that what with it being the only place i've been! ha ha!) The DH tracks are epic, steep, fast, techy and flowy! Quite a challenge on the old Spicy so Mattys SX Trail had to come out to play until one of the other guys broke his air shock and I lent him the SX!

    Aside from the DH there are tons of XC, Jump Parks, Freeride, Northshore, Slopestyle etc, aswell as mountain hiking, horse riding, parapenents, zip lining, lake swimming etc, etc!

    The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful! The town is fun and lively. I would really recommend staying there for a Holiday in the Alps during summer. We stayed at www.riders-retreat.co.uk a self catered shared chalet with own private onsuite rooms. Really well priced and really nice to stay at.

    I'll post some pics up soon :)
    delightfully dangerous!
