    boys, need some local knowledge,

    on the uplift at cwmcarn tomorrow and my knee pads are no where to be found.

    any idea if either of the following shops are open at 9am?

    PSCycles
    Martin Ashfield Cycles
    Ryders bike shop

    cheers!

    on a sunday? i doubt it very much. i actually think they're not aloud to open until 10 or 11 by law :?

    pop into a halfords? some of the bigger ones have 661 pads in there

    Fairplay I take my hat off to you kev. Took the sissy route off end of hafodyrynys over pantside. I ended up walking most of that lol. Fairplay thou I can see the appeal at cwmcarn. Fell in with two Newport lads had a whale of a time. 30 miles down after canal down and back up and Christ I'm going to pay for it tomorrow :)

    Just a reminder, if anyone's around, I'm going to Cwm Carn tomorrow, probably be getting there around 11-12. If anyone wants to join me then feel free. Otherwise, if you're there and you see me then say hello: skinny guy on a Carbon 456 with white forks and wheels!

    Afan ride was great fun. We had 28 at the start. About 18-20 at the end, of a 28k run. We just made the ride up as we went along. So we did 3 diffent trails in the end :lol:

    Grath had a big off. He desided to use a tree and his head to slow him self down :P He could not stand for a bit, but made it all the way around. Dar had a off at the end. Mostly to going 500 mph down a hill :lol:

    We had no flats but lost 2 cranks arms :D

    Ash new bike had the drive side one hangging on, and someone eles just they other side just slid off :P

    And ian`s barings died on part of this swing arm.

    Great fun, long day got up at 6:40 got home at 4:50 :wink:

    Sad you guys could not make it

    Oh dear :oops:

    As one of the guys in work said "you pu$$y that's like dropping off a curb.."

    Glad I physically dropped off it but still looks much bigger than the vid when you're there!

    Well we've both done it now Ben, can start stretching it out on the DH day

    Hi mate,

    I'm not out today myself but keep looking on here as there's a few of us who are out pretty regularly, mostly ride Cwmcarn but I/Ben (The Northern Monkey) have ridden locally recently (Caerphilly mountain) so that may be better for you, always happy to have more riders :D

    Hopefully see you soon
