    cheshley are you definitely coming now
    do you want me to get some oatcakes

    someone i think it was mick mentioned walkie talkies. i took some on the last forum ride at cannock and we didn't use them once. doesn't hurt to bring them though, i might charge my set up and put them in the car just in case

    also people, don't forget to bring spare clothes and something warm for standing around the BBQ in

    i need to change my chain as well. i have got a new one, just waiting for my chain tool to come so i can change it
    on the other hand its probably not a good idea to change something as important as a chain just before a big ride

    caz, if youve not changed your chain for two years the odds are you will need a new cassette and chainrings to

    theres some propor brick BBQ stations where were going so no worries there

    might be useful to bring a brush or something to clean them off

    I dont know if anyone is intrested but i've got a Polar CS200 Cycle computer up for grabs
    I'm open to offers

    https://polar.fitnessmegastore.co.uk/polar-297/cycling-300/polar-cs200-cycling-heart-11482.htm


    Any idea how much you want for it ? Is it used or brand new ?

    Hi

    the computer is used, only done about 30hours worth of riding if that. Regards price i did put it on ebay for £50 but no bids so i'd accept £40. If you are intrested then let me know also if you are at cannock this sat i'll bring it down and if you like set it up for you to try out.

    Wanted to make it to cannock but can't because i'm on kiddie watch all day. The computer would be for my sister to set up with a turbo trainer so i will ask her about it and let you know. Do you have all the fitting/how to use instructions for it ?[/quote
    ]
    yes i have all the fittings and the instructions to go with it

    Thanks for that mick. Will let you know asap if my sister wants it.

    Rottie,
    The trail near me is going t be longer I've found out!..it's got 60 turns and berms in the 600 meters thats already built and there's another 4 weeks of building going on, so i dunno how long the trail is going to be in all, I'll find out more soon though :D
