I can get out after the parade, so twoish, but sounds like thats too late to change

Should think we'd be out for a while anyway, though I don't mind a later start (later always better for me ).

Plaisir

I am totally with all of you on the 10AM start - it's the only day I get to lie in as well. Popstar & Supra - car pool?

Sounds like you will get along with Popstar well, colour co-ordinating your clothes with your bike

Mr_B1989

it didn't happen on purpose, just needed a LS jersey and the white/black one just jumped into my basket... honest.

Where do you live?

popstar

Me thinks Supraman gonna put some show. Be it either his apprentice or else, think gonna see proper colour coordination.

Unfortunately can't organise race yet, as didn't have time or money to prepare for that special event but details will be kept secret for now between organisers.

Good ride today doing some "knarl" with Richard. Liking the Five Tens.

Conditions are good out there. Pretty much dry.

North holmwood, would probably take just as long to ride it than getting the train, feeling much less hungover now so i'll probably ride.

Naveed

Hey guys

Can't make the Sunday ride I'm afraid, went out on Fri and got massively hammered, spent all day today hungover and GF none too happy so will be spending sun with her. will def be out next week.

thel33ter

@Richard - Is there any particular way to work out how much air to put in the boost valve thingy on a DHX air shock?

and does anyone have a spare bashguard I can have cheap? (or preferably free )

Looking like a chilly start today. Frost on the car!

Standard photo for our hard core sessions

I really am looking towards the organised -Wacky Races-. Suppose video would be great with all competitors. Shame there is no bling photo of Supra's attention seeker.

The weekend around the 30th would be great for me, cause it's already my first bit of school holiday by then

Sounds like it will end up being between Njee and his climbing vs us aggressive Xc-er's.

supra-man

great ride, feels so good to be back on 2 wheels, Havent lost much fitness, after 2 months but still taking easy.

Good to see everyone again.

The bling attention seeker, hey works well, I m not up to the bikes talent yet, I have to learn how to ride again its so different, it doesnt plough through stuff it kind of hops on them. And it is a proper climber.

Next week hopefully test in Cwm carn.

Thats exactly what my Kona used to do... But probably looking less bling

Yes that'd suit me I think! Did we actually decide on a route!? Down BKB and back up would be good I reckon! Or Yoghurt Pots would be shorter with less of a climb.

a lap of BKB from Peaslake would be a good route, unless someone can think of somewhere with a techy climb instead of a road one and a good descent.

To win -Wacky Races- means to be an all round weekend warrior. I think with the right approach even DKenny can beat racing snakes. The race won't take more than 15 minutes to compete, so you thin racing snakes are wrong.

It's all in our rules, sucker! Organisers of race did approve the plans and will keep it secret until the race day. Bargain hunters however will be dissapointed to know that race entry would cost £2 per rider on a race day. As those monies will go to a good cause.

Obviously the mini-event will be flimed by at least 3 fine cameramen.

I get in free cuz I'm a junior

Just take the offroad climb from the bottom of BKB, much more techy than the road, and shorter than the road, so less benefiting the climbers. I'm confident I can still hold my own on BKB anyway :-)

If thats the one to the left of the bottom I can't actually ride up it, tis impossibly steep :roll:

njee20

The rooty one? That just needs a bit of power, but no, I meant the one on the right, rocky at the bottom with a 90 degree right, which then flattens off. Much nicer than the road anyway!

I think you missed the 'Wacky' part - you don't think someone with a mind quite as twisted as popstar would have a simple fastest round the whatever do you?

@popstar - I thought you said £10 each. I was expecting a Gold Medal at least.

@thel33ter - if you behave I might even sponsor you.
