Hi Guy's n Girl's

Looking to do Swinley on Saturday and a nice little route at Alice Holt Sunday, what's everyone else doing?

Also going to have a fat barbeque on Sunday to put back all the calories lost riding in the lovely sunshine, may even get a little drunk on Pimms.

Have Alice Holt ride (GPX and TCX entered in BaseCamp) for anyone to have a go at, nice easy ride. Got Garmin files for this and other rides, let me know your email and I will email.

So what you all u to this weekend, no work allowed! :wink:

    Bedgebury on Sunday. I'm looking forward to a bit of dryness, as the two times I've been previously have been a bit like the Somme in places.

    In a surprising turn of events, it will be Nigel Mansell that takes the win. You heard it here first.

    Why?
    Are you aware you've stumbled into the mountain biking section? We'll have no mind numbing road racing here, thank you, unless it's got engines in.
  • I'll be sat on a coach for 26 hours on the way to Spain for a "sports" tour! Bloody excited though i could do without the coach trip.

    I don't watch other people riding bikes much even when they're doing something interesting, but road racing? It's just the same as commuting.
