    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:

    We'll have an edge over the oldies then :wink:

    I'll probably be the one belting up to the front on the climbs and then slowly falling to the back on the descents...

    Why? Is there an uplift or something?

    Hmmm, looking at the weather report...

    If it's raining, I ain't riding. Probably.

    Not to keen on doing the Monkey again unless the surface has recovered, but I am tempted to drag my sorry ass and that of the wife to join in.

    We haven't been able to get out on the MTBs much this year so we are likely to be at the very back of the pack.

    Don't worry, I've only been out on the MTB a handful of times this year. :wink:
