Sent another today noting my thoughts. If I don't get a reply by COP Monday I'll be cancelling. I'll try PS then.

Cool re tomorrow. See you all there

Good ride today. Good to see Kev after all these years. Daz and Jame were out. Weather held and had a good run. Did the DH which was brill, settling into the Hanzz now, wish I'd had my FF (thanks for nothing Active Sport) can't wait to see Daz's vids.

HI all. Darren Fiddlers Elbow is the roundabout off the main r/about on 470 for aberdare/ Nelson. Turn towards Nelson and its the r/about just after the bridge. Cars usually parked 1st off r/a towards Fiddlers Elbow, Mertrhyr Vale..
Those vids are good. Some differant lines there. I notice you took the shorter red route below the tunnel, is that easier, better?
Wish I could have made it today, weather was stunning this afternoon.
Anyone up for a spot of Cwmcarn D/H tomorrow evening ? 8) Get to CC about 6.maybe earlier. Cant do Tuesday as I am having my back injection on Tuesday
What do you guys reckon that if the weather isnt that good on Sunday. We do the normal route at Nant then pack up and do Climax. Dont mind drizzle but not chucking it down.

The Northern Monkey

Can't ride tomorrow Car is clean and seats are up lol. Doubt i'll be out of work till late either

Will be riding Wednesday though. Think I might ride about 3pm, then maybe catch anyone else at 5 - 6 if anyone else is riding. Got the day booked off on Wednesday

Looking at the Mondraker Prayer 2011. Seen one for £1300 so i'm hoping the place I want to buy it from will price match lol!
