bikes, somewhere muddy, too early
Answer your questions?
Dunno, do we want to do Leith for a change?0 -
It's been a while so I hope everyone is doing well.
We'll be riding Aston Hill this Saturday if anyone is interested in coming out. Rain, snow, or hail it don't matter we need to get out of London and on to a trail!0 -
AlenK, got your SC from the States finally? I would like to smoke you down the trails ! No more P1 BS please.
Leith and Redlands offer some good XC, which has to be respected in our stakes. It's no DH but it is awesome.What could have been (Video)
I'll choose not put too much stake into someone's opinion who is admittingly terrible though0 -

No the SC is still home, I've gone the other way it seems. I switched to a rockhopper m4 which confuses me with all those funny gears in the front.
However, I do now posses a fully functioning fork so im game for a little bit of playing 8)
You riding this weekend?0 -
I am not sure if I can run away from home, will see how it goes first.What could have been (Video)

I wouldn't touch Redlands until the spring now. Swamp is the best description for it. Guess that's why Mangrove Alley is called what it is.0
-
There's plenty on Leith anyway. Is that a plan or are we off to Peaslake?0

I don't think Ross will fit in a rucksack, especially not with a baby in tow.
Back to the topic, WHERE?!0 -
Maybe go from Westcott up to Leith, mess about round there etc ?
Or Peaslake -> Holmbury -> Leith and back (maybe via sneaky route).0 -
Westcott is a ballache for parking every time I've stopped there but if people want to meet there, can do. I don't think I'm fit enough for hauling myself to and from leith from the usual meeting point right now.0
-
bikes at the doctors but should be back today,
any decision on sunday, happy to do leith or whatever.
best get out on it as it's probably gonna bankrupt me.
will check back sat or cooldad txt me
see you all soon

True, Westcott is a pain. I don't mind where really.
Another option for a larger car park is the car park near High Ashes farm. However Cooldad (and anyone else with bikes on the roof) won't get his car under the barrier with a bike on top, but there's the little lay-by car park bit further along.
Or Coldharbour. Not much parking space round there.0 -
I'll pay good money to see cooldad ruin his and l33ters bikes on a low bar. I'm easy either way, we've parked in Coldharbour a few times but perhaps you're right and the other side is best.0

It has been done...
My Singlespeed is probably being made out of one of those frames that were taken out And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

i'll be along this sunday on my new steed, though it may be entertaining as it didn't seem very mud friendly when i went round the local common to semi set my suspension.0
-
So yeah, where and when? 9:30? Leith Hill carpark (not landslip, the one closest to high ashes)?0
-
Atz will peeps see new you? Curious to see your transormation and at least we could speak the same language.What could have been (Video)

Yes, just slightly further down the road0
-
Ok, so 10am around there. We'll find it.
My rear shock still seems to work after it's service too.
Although none of the bearings in the frame moved when it was out, now topped up with 3 in 1, hopefully they'll see me through to summer.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Prob there early so if you see my car give me a call and I can save myself another climb of leith0
-
Can someone post up an accurate location? (need to stick it in the GPS).
Looking forward to the ride.
Thanks,
T0 -
Atz @ 9.30 ish?
Us @ 10 ish?
DK and MrB what time is best for you? 9.30 is a bit of a push, but prefer to start together, although DK will be late anyway.
Anyone else planning on coming.
Pieman is but I will text him once arranged.I don't do smileys.
