No damage done and she had a good laugh about it after

good job I have a good sense humour, having you put vids of me falling when not on my bike. lmao

Loving the running commentary on those vids

Flying visit tonight Ladies n Gents.

Hoping to confirm details of the June ride by the end of this week, provisionally Sunday 27th June but I'll get back to you on that. There will be the usual notification here and an Event posted from the Facebook group.

Skills course at Dalby on Tuesday, can't wait

Hi keven...nice vids there of cannock.....see tammy had to beat the bike down the weirwolf !!! ...good fun you both had,, i looked at the pie run - glentress whilst watching the others, i take it thats a red run.....it was more techy in places than cannock with lots of roots, skinnies and boardwalks, the scottish reds seem to be more like our black runs in places.

Yes, the pie run and Magic mushroom is part of the red graded trail at Glentress. The camara memory got full half way through Magic Mushroom so didn't get the whole trail in the video. More techy than Cannock in places but most of the tricky stuff can be rolled over or ridden around. Well worth a visit.

kangaroo

manged to get some nice air of the rollers at the end, you have to remember to only jump on the last roller in each series else youll faceplant into the roller in front

Helloooo..........unfortunately i haven't been anywhere today, i've been doing my mates brakes with a homemade bleed kit similar to the avid kit, i put a post up prevoiusly about it with a link......it worked a bloody treat, no air in the system and a damn good easy job,it took me around 20mins to make up the bleed kit and around 20mins to bleed each brake.

Avid charge around £30-40 for this kit and it cost us under a tenner for the bits....well worth it i can tell you .......':D'

rottitera02

Caz.....there's nothing wrong with climbing in yer granny ring or we woudn't have one, many of us in the group use the granny for climbing including me.....did you find those demon descents you went looking for ??

sparrowlegs78

I only found the bridlepaths ones ..I found the end of he mythical "Dog Kennel Descent" but there were too many walkers about to ignore the footpath signs and walk up and ride down it ...I'm too good , I hate people telling me off.

rottitera02

Bloody ramblers eh!!........but they will still complain when you ride on a permitted bridleway as though they are the only ones allowed.....i get this down the cheshire lines near home which is an actual part of the pennine bridleway (it actually starts in southport)

When i point this out they mumble and groan.......plenty of ramblers down there i can tell you.
