I'll prob spit out a lap tomorrow at CC and then hopefully we can sort out FOD on sunday gents - will be having a few, but should be fine for lunchtime.

The Northern Monkey

Alright chaps...

Think me and Squarepants are leaving Cardiff for FOD at about 9:30ish to be there about 10:30am!

Has to be a mid morning ride for us!!

Squarepants

Sounds about right.

Questions then

Singlyply or Dualply Maxxis? (lots of big jumps that cause pinch flats etc?)

trail lid or full face?

Welsh_Tom

hello gents , many of you guys ride afan through the winter ?

clamps81

Not sure how I missed you guys at fod, but hope you had a good un. Nice trail, very smooth, so lets you focus on technique as line choice is not affected by obstacles. Super busy there as wellj

What time did you turn up fella?

We got proper lost and didn't arrive till 11 :oops: sorry fella waited around for a bit but didn't see anyone

Wasn't overly impressed with the trail tbh. Did the blue first which was booooooring apart from that bit right at the end!
Then the red which was the same as the blue but with a sh!t load of roots

Ended up falling off over one of the roots, lack of concentration=epic fail!

Nice to get out though!

Squarepants

did you try any of the DH runs? i know you were on the hardtail though ben but they're worth a look

Welsh_Tom

Can not belives you guys did not enjoy the blue

Sorry you went all that way, I dont think I know anyone that does not love it.

I guess now you guys are hardcore downhillers, what us mere mortals find fun don't cut the mustard

The red is just rooty hell, I also feel on that ben :P


Anyone about tuesday day time for a run somewhere?

Following the recent activity around Taffalanche I fancy doing a “Half Way Up All the way down Mates race” at Mynydd Maen.
I could do with a bit of help to clear some singletrack,Cwmcarn side. probably this weekend Sunday morning preferably. Any volunteers???

Count me in Ian, could do with a bit of something different!
I did a bit of trail building back home so should be good fun!

Let me know nearer the time if its going ahead, think you got my number!

Squarepants

I've got a bloody christening to go to on Sunday :x X 1 million! I'm not sure I even know what a christening is; or who chris is to be tened..

Sorry Ian I was really looking forward to that until I asked if I was busy on Sunday and got informed of the above fact.

:roll:

Squarepants
Cheers for the lift btw fella, my turn next time.


Welsh_Tom
It wasn't bad! If it was all like the final section then it would have been great!
Didn't touch the brakes down all those last few bits

Mojo_666

And it's back!

yay about time forums back but look at all the damn ads, F this shite.

clamps81

You want to get yourself adblock plus - sorts those ads right out.

Squarepants/NorthernMonkey : Sucky timing - I must have started the trail just as you guys turned up I got there about 25 past, hung around for half an hour, did a quick circuit of the carpark to see if I could spot either of you and then set off. Can't have missed you by much. Considered giving the DH runs a quick blast, but given how busy it was didn't want to be holding people up while I pootled down on the hardtail. I wouldn't mind going again just to see if it's possible to session the last few sections as it's so open etc that it serves as a nice area to build your skills without worrying about smashing into a tree stump or something.
