I was out today in a s/s base, l/s base, light fleece and Gore Wear jacket, bib tights, sealskinz socks over merino wool socks and overshoes......

toasty warm

the incredibly flat woods I ride in locally......




On top of the only hill I could find......




Slightly muddy......

Just like southport, finding a hill is like lookin' for a needle in a haysyack.....

just had a peek at accuweather, snow and a 'bit' of a gust around aston, my snow 'practise' may not be wasted after all, will have to check the snake early sun morn to see if it's passable, if not will be coming round the back and heading to ladybower from sheffield way.

That's one sweet bike kangaroo !

I was hoping to go for a ride at llandegla today as I got the day off but the mrs took my car today so can't see me being able to fit the bike into a small classic beetle

kangaroo

thank you,
have you tried taking the wheels off, or even takeing the forks off

maloo

lol not yet , I looked out the window and went back to bed

kangaroo

for some reason i carnt get the image of my bike to display in this forum, ive not had any problems before. i usesully paste the url then select what i have just pasted then press the img tag button and hey presto it works but now all i get when i previe or post is some white space where the image is supppose to be
im using skydrive to host if that makes any difference

Saw your bike Kangaroo - nice to see someone else running E150 forks.

maloo

I think it's to do with the link, it takes you to a page with the image on instead of just straight to the image

kangaroo

i like the 150's though quite a few people think i have a DH bike, and i have to explain 'no ita a all mountian bike, it just looks heavy'
im guesing youve got a enduro as well then

kangaroo

thanks sorted, carnt beleive i did that lol, my excuse is id been for a night ride with the local club, and it took a lot out of me

Richie63

Kangaroo go back to when the pictures start page 24 ithink

kangaroo

i see it, id seen the frame but not noticed the forks, i must admit i like that years enduro frame, how do you find it rides

Richie63

Very well indeed .It's just throw it it to something and you come flying out in control. A real confidence frame. Just changed the back SLX brake for a Formula the 1 as a trip to the Alps is on this year as I found the brake lacking over distance when in the Pyrennes last year.

I thinks it's fairly safe to say I'll miss out on this now . The head cold I have has moved onto my chest, and after having pneumonia at the back end of last year I don't wanna risk anything with that, hope u all have a good one and hope something else similar comes up soon in the not so distant future

Sorry to hear that hope you get better soon, My cold is leaving me now but I'm thinking that after sunday it may return and you know what I'm ready for it RAWR!!!!!

It's going to be cold and wet and I'm very excited!! (emotionally)

Cheshley

calm yourself Rob.....

Caught on to this thread a little late in the day it seems, shame!

I would be very tempted if someone is kind enough to sort one out again in the future if this one is a success (sure it will be).

Its great of you to sort it out!

Theres still 3 days!

Yes I know but I have made plans with my wife now and she already feels like she is second best

Yesterday the weather forecast on the BBC website said Sunday would be cloudy and the forecast on Accuweather said it was going to snow and be windy.

Today, the BBC website says it'll be pissing down and accuweather says it'll be nice.

I'm stopping checking the forecasts and it'll be what it'll be.

If it's raining we'll not be showing up, as I don't want to get cold and wet with this cold I've got
I'm plying myself with alsorts of remedies to get right for Sunday, so weather allowing we are still coming ( well I'm riding, he's faffing about )

A cold is a virus chuck, being cold or wet has nothing to do with anything. Your excuse is duly noted however.

sparrowlegs78

I've spent most of my working life outside getting cold n wet, so I kind of have an aversion to it these days
It's more like the hubby won't go out if it's wet as he's an indoor man who gets sunburn in fog
