The Northern Monkey

Dunno bout you lot... but that ride was a fu*king effort and a half. No idea why, just felt completely drained as soon as we started.

Should have stayed in the bushes I think.

Cheers all though, confidence slipped after the off. Bit sore and achey now

Thewaylander

I'll be at fod all day, on a sh#t brown mondraker

Welsh_Tom

Welsh_Tom

Squarepants

Well, what a mini adventure. I felt same as Ben, fooked from the off tonight, again don't know why, just bonked out..

Great ride though guys enjoyed it and good to see you all again, awesome riding with you. Big thanks to Ian and all the other fellas for stopping halfway down the DH to help me replace my pinch flat, thought I was going over the edge when it blew :shock: thanks guys. Sorry to hold you up on the final descent :oops:

and to top it off, as we were all stood round fixing the tyre, Ben on the descent above the switch back entertained us by having a comedy off into the bushes and just layed there for a while, legend

"I'm good"

Another good ride all round, thanks for coming all, I'll remember to pack some fitness next time I think..

Ian i'll drop up a new inner tube on Sunday, cheers

Ah no I can't ride tomorrow

I'm heading some workshops and training in bloody Warwick all day. Had completely forgotten :-S

clamps81

I always laugh when people say 'I'm unfit' as having ridden once with you lot I have an entirely new understanding of what the term means. I thought I was going to cough my bloody lungs out last time out!

Squarepants

Should have been with us last night clamps, you would have felt like a whippet..

Nice one Ben, proper off, just as it should be I won't be out tomorrow night unfortunately, Will be out on Sunday though, Kev, post a picture up of yourself, I've forgotten what the fine contours of your face look like

Don't believe him he flew around earlier on a pretty swift lap

FOD is great apart from the section of downhill that i chickened out of and Gareth rode made me feel like a complete biff.

hi nath, i had a pass for tomorrow night (i still have really) but my boy is being a little b@stard at the moment and is refusing to go to bed and is kicking up a right royal fuss, it's doing the gf's head in cos i've been working late quite a bit, it's only fair i help her out. i probably will go out but it'll be later on, probably about 7.30 after he's gone to bed :?

Sambini

Where to if you manage to go?

Great vids. love the dh sections. only thing is it dont look so bad on film

i see where i may be going wrong on the l shaped tunnnel. i think i am just going 10 times to fast into it :shock: and trying to slow down half why down it where as you slowed a lot before hitting them ramp. which worked better as i had to power slide around the l to stop my self hitting it
