Good shot Kev..

Doesn't look like i'll be riding either this weekend lads there's no way I can get the bike in the Ignis ( :? bit of a long tern issue that....) so I've made plans to go watch a stage rally in Brecon instead. Bit gutted of course but will be back strong next weekend to give my brakes a proper trial.

Have a good weekend hoes

I have an old bike rack you can have if you fancy it. It straps to the back of the car.
Me and Sean will be out on Sunday morning. See you there.

welshkev

looks like i might be a maybe now. my bro in law (lee) is staying on saturday night and he's under the impression we're riding on sunday and has arranged to meet nathan at cwmcarn sunday morning. so i'll have to get a pass to come, and try and do some more painting tomorrow

The Northern Monkey

Not sure about this weekend as yet... don't have a pass and so might be out doing other "fun" things

Very kind of you to offer Ian I may well take you up on that as I currently have no way of transporting the bike, I didn't realise the Ignis was so small (bit like saying I didn't realise Hitler was such a git..)

I'll give you some money for it fella as long as it fits etc. Thanks again. I'll let you know when I'm riding again, should be next Sunday for definate though.

Quite a list there Del, IMO you're all the cooler for it 8)

Good news for you Kev gutted I'm not riding have a good ride bro's

ianm59

Shouldnt be any problem with the fit. Its well adjustable. Needs a new bit of lagging on the one bar (mice in garage). Its a 3 bike carrier.

good to hear you had a good ride Da..

As an aside; I'm on pinkbike now - squarepantscymru look me up

gareth1234

wouldn't mind getting out on one of your jaunts soon, looks like fun (apart from all the blood!!!! everyone else's will be ok, mine is precious though..... ) or if you get up north Cardiff way. I live in the shadow of Castell Coch, plenty of decent rides up through the forests there.

As long as we have regular stops for my nicotine intake though :roll:

More than welcome, we mainly ride Cwmcarn on a Sunday morning, but now the weather is starting to break we might head further a field and try some more natural routes.

Ended up out on Sunday afternoon, as couldn't be bothered to lever myself from bed. and what a day sun was shining trail was tacky and perfect. was in Brian Heaven.

Slow trip round still at 1hour20 but still shows the legs are coming back just gotta plough 15-20 minutes off that again now to be back where i left off in November

It is a monster it follows around to the right and carries on the track for about 300m, Then a middle ring grind up a quiet road for another mile.

Still coming :shock:
