    I'm seriously thinking about this :?

    I'm just a little worried that I wont be able to keep up. Just getting in to mountain biking & havent rode anywhere apart from Dalby.

    Dont know if you lads know the red route at dalby but just to give you an idea of my fitness it takes me 3h10m to get round :shock:
    If ya aint 1st, yer last!!!

    normally in past we did dalby in 2 hours 30 mins,but aint done full red route for a year or two....this will prob be a ideal ride to join us,as we aint done the route b4,so we will be stopping a lot to check out map,we have said it will take about 5 hours....and ill be at back anyway huffing and puffing up the hills,so dont worry about keeping up,as we always wait,or should i say they wait for me....as giggsmaster(bro) and myself say,only way to get fit is to ride a few hard uphills,believe me,it gets easier after a few rides :oops: so i keep telling myself :lol:

    Altern_8 mine is only 35cm/14inchs mainly due to rocker link and shock.

    I could pick up simon on the way to your place, however I don't have a bike rack for this van of a car I'm driving now but I should be able to get two bikes in the back.

    cheers barkey,simons is 52cm,so his bike should fit on my rack easy,as his top tube is longer then mine(as long as he measured it correct :lol: ).

    if you dont mind picking simon up on way,would be a bit easier,so we can head off straight away down a1079,after stopping at mcdonalds that is :wink: ....so 6-30am at my house then,is that ok with you?
