I know that I and sheepsteeth were gutted for not making it. We were discussing another, although I will have to speak with him about this.....
Im still recovering from a) broken ribs b) pig flu, so fitness is at an all time low, I conservatively cannot imagine me being able to do a full days riding till after xmas, but we shall see how it goes........ but I am defo up for it. Maybe sheeps will bring along the Crush? Who knows
Glad it all went well........ and pi55ed off that I couldn't make it!!!0 -

Haha!
Yep it was good, but I took the wrong bike and almost died by the end going up the hills!
We did quite well in terms of mechanical issues apart from Bails was a bit unlucky and got a puncture and a broken chain - but did a great job of getting the bike up and running again quickly. He also provided me with a much needed Jelly Baby at the top of one climb! Thanks Bails !
Definitely up for another one!
For the record, I was a weight weiner before the ride, as Cheesey knows as I brought the frame of him just before the ride - but Brams bike did encourage me further!Santa Cruz Chameleon

Gutted I couldn't make it really.
I hope there's another one, I'd quite enjoy meetin some other people from here. Plus, gettin to ride somewhere new is always a bonus!It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Haha, no problem with the Jelly Babies, it put everyone in a good mood for when they had to wait around for me, more breakdowns in a couple of hours than I'd had since the start of the year!
My gloves are still sticky from the leaked tyre sealent btw, it's like having SPD handlebars!
Was a good day, some techy stuff, hidden trails, sociable open slogs, spotted a few deer, then linked up with Follow The Dog.
I posted what I tracked of the route (up until FTD) on the sticky Forum Ride thread.0 -
Any chance of the next one being a little further southIt's not a ornament, so ride It0
