Yes yes... I know... this should possibly be in the rides section but we all know cruddites don't actually go outside on their bikes, preferring to sit indoors filling up BRs server in the 'catcher 
They'd never go into the rides forum.
So Dalby or Cannock this weekend anyone? I'll be bringing some cameras and might put something together for the crudcast. I just need some filthy bums to record without girls screaming and running away like normal.

Hmm. Cannock, 20 minutes drive from my house...
Sadly I'm too old and slow to partake in anything where cameras are involved, so count me out. I will be at Cannock on Saturday afternoon for a ride though0 -
Just a heads-up there is a demo day at Cannock this Saturday. Expect loads of Audis and middle-aged wannabes wobbling round on £4000 freeride bikes.
Yes I'll be there

meh could do sunday, mrs maks has booked saturday as her ride day
blitz do these days get really busy, fancied going along to try riding on a full sus, but didnt fancy queuing to get on the bike and queing on the dog as they unwrap some some idiot from a tree :twisted:0 -
+bluechair are fatties allowed on crud rides :P0

There were big queues last year but I think some lessons have been learnt and allegedly this year's route combines some Dog sections with fireroad bypasses, so the 40-mins-per-bike should be easily do-able.
If you are not looking for anything too specific you may not have to wait too long but be prepared to queue. Worth taking your pedals with you.

Ah, I recall they shortened the route at last year's demo day too. I do recall riding along some chap with an all carbon FS bike telling me, that as a family man he could never afford the £3.5K that this particular bike cost.
Perhaps I will delay my ride until Sunday....0 -
I shall be heading up there sunday, and possibly also on saturday depending on if I'm hungover or not.0

I shall be in Newport at a wedding, otherwise I'd have happily come and impressed with my incompetence0

I cant make it... but if there is a demo day on it should make it perfect for filming interviews with random riders... maybe in the cues at the start of sections you could have random interviews with random riders....
could be funny as anything...
I like bikes and stuff0 -

My camera isn't wide angle so it'll have to be one butt cheek at a time :shock:
Josh; a Q&A with middle management on the benefit, ideal terrain and intended use of a Trek Scratch, Spesh Enduro or Giant Reign would be hillarious... The Charley Brown music would have to go with it
Well, I'd go but it's 2hr+ for me so only if I've someone there to hold my hand. Pft, I'm not one of those loners who rides alone......

Nah, I'm hoping to go back here to play this weekend. I might have a camera as well.

Meh way to far to be bothered though you all are lovely,
the quality of riding locally to me stops me from bothering :op0 -
Well, Dalby is just as close.
Sheffield and the High Peaks is pretty similar.
Basically, I live in Newark. If I don't drive, I sit n watch top gear re-runs.....0 -

Starbucks and MaccyDs can't be far behind.
Fair play though, looks like an awesome place to do some seriously silly things on a bike. Enjoy!0 -
Nah, It's the Dinorwig Quarry, above Llanberis. It's my playground, but due to it also being Wales' 3rd or 4th largest mountain (something like that, or maybe the third or 4th tallest in Snowdonia. Either way, it's pretty big) with a summit at 3031 feet, I hardly ever go all the way up.Thewaylander wrote:Seriously wi fi half way up thats a bit wierd lol.

When you do get all the way to the summit though, there's a sweet 2,700 descent right to lake Peris
I think it used to be the largest slate mine in the world, either it or the one in Bethesda.0
