[nCe"]looking 2do afan W2 on friday day anyone?

I'm down at Afan tomorrow, was planning on parking in Afan car park, doing omega and elevator to the fire road, doing Whytes climb, across the top and Y Wal descent. Not sure if my glass back will handle W2 but happy to meet up and give it a go, may have to bail out half way though.

Got the school run to do first so will get there aroung 9:45 if that's any good?

Mike

usually just park in the free carpark down the bottom after the end of the wall trail.
do the wall trail up cut across the fire road do whites and then back over to finish off the wal decents.

should be there about 10:30 , maybe a little sooner. hope to see ya there

Prince,

Taz (my house mate) is running with one of the 661 evo suits best part of £200 looks liek it fits great, loads of good armour including spine protection, Only downside is he is hairy and sweaty so he dies if the sun comes out and he is pushing up

Spot on for me. Had a few crashes and not felt a thing!
Still very manoeuvrable too.

Wouldn't recommend a long sleeve suit, I found them to be far too hot and felt uncomfortable.

Welsh_Tom

anyone rideeing tomorrow after 1:30?

cwmboyo

if your looking for body armour have a look on decsent gear dot com

Pr][nCe

nice one Mike and Matt might join ya there then what time?

nice one Ben but i have no elbow gaurds so was looking for full sleeve, preff with the sleeve thumb holes to keep it in place.

Soz Tom no ride for me Sat.
Ps. hows the wheel?

ianm59

CRC have a few offers on at the mo. Checkout the Sub gear vest £20. Thats loads cheaper than I bought mine for. Check out the bomber shorts, bargain.
Personally I like a long sleeve. I dont find it too hot, but I like the added protection. At my age you cant have too much protection, it makes up for limited abilities. I have a 661 pressure suit and find it great. Seems a little limiting to start with but comfortable enough on the bike.
Mike what time are you at CC Sunday? Anyone up for the moorland route then join up with the Twrch. Musnt forget match is on first thing.

Andrew Taylor
On the 20th October we will be holding a meeting at the Halfway Public house in Wyllie, to discuss the possibility of organising a local mountain biking club. This will be an informal meeting (drinky winky) to judge interest.
If you, or someone you know rides then come on down and have a say. Bikes, Cars or feet meet at 7.30 till late.
beer tokens essential.
Look forward to seeing ya'll

Daz, I am uploading a VID now, but its using the contour tools to the contour site so it won't be edited or compressed. Not sure if I will post the others as there is not much to add to yours unless you happen to be in front of me....if I do I will need to get em compressed I guess.

I used at 13mm spanner to tighten up that thumb screw on the seat post and the clamp seems to work OK now but its pretty tight even when opened lol.............but should hold me thinks...what we have to do for bling.

Also, thinking about a session on Airwaves 2 tomorrow if your up for it Daz....and anyone else if your available....road up 10 or so runs on the jumps then rest of it back down I was thinking.

ianm59

Sorry I couldn't make it this morning guys.
Loads to do and little time to do it in.
Will be out in the week (tuesday)
I will be at the Halfway on the 20th. Good idea I reckon.
Mike what time are you thinking of being at CC tomorrow?
