    I'm sure it'll be a 'sociable' pace. There are a few technical bits, but it's mainly pretty flowy singletrack.

    This. More emphasis on the social side than riding...

    If I can get there and I don't have a presentation to do the next day (cursed unhelpful lack of scheduling in advance), then that sounds like a fantastic idea.

    It's in the diary, hope to drag a few cycling mates from work, that should bring the average age up by a few years, they've not done it before and I did the slow ride so I know it all ;-)

    Are you planning on just doing Follow the Dog an Monkey trail or more. I know some of my mates can't commit the whole day.

    (just had panic attack and thought it was on fathers day - it's not)

    from the last ride forum ride we did the pace was pretty average, and i reckon it would be good to do all of the new monkey as i havent had a chance to ride it yet and its meant to be quite good. dare say ill be the youngest again tho :lol:

    Is anyone heading over from Loughborough way and willing to let me scam a lift? I was planning on coming by train, but I'd forgotten how shocking the timetable is on a Sunday- I wouldn't get there 'til after midday. Cheers if so.
