Right then pimps and pimpettes...

Me and Kaise are riding at Cannock Chase on Friday 30th December.

Get your directions here: http://g.co/maps/udxdg

Parking is £3 for the whole day.

We'll probably meet late morning and do a couple of laps of Follow The Dog and The Monkey, which will be about 26 miles. We can always mix it up and do the Monkey twice and FTD just the once or session the final descents a few times.

So, who's in?

    Yeah I'll be there, meant to be a bit more pro active on the other thread but been busy workings and stuff instead of faffing around trying to work out where the best place to go would be.

    By workings and stuff I've been playing bikes, eating and sleeping.

    It would take too much effort to get the bike/myself ready... and I'm low on fundage but I'll think about it.

    I'm 1% in, in the highly unlikely event that I manage to move house and bleed my brakes all on the 29th then I'll attend, but don't hold your breath.

    Also I have to pop to nottingham on that day to loiter in a bush ;), remember a stalker is for life, not just for christmas

    Expect a sudden revival of interest in this ride as all the stalkers get flushed out.

    Would like to be there but its dependent on when I have to go to London and, I kid you not, progress with secret worky shizzle.

    Them two aside, it'd be remiss to miss it. Let you know nearer the time.

    On other news, I'm planning on hitting Cannock boxing day, 'cos I'm a curmudgenly f****r and will need to escape xmas! If anyone happens to be interested.

    I guess that depends on those of you coming from further away. I was thinking get there for 10:30, so we're ready to ride at 11? Gives us 4 hours of full light. Happy to meet earlier if people want though.

    Let's hope you don't break it again before friday then :lol:

    I'll be up in the car park at 10 then. Will have to decide which bike to use, quite tempted to put in a few runs at stile cop beforehand so may bring the 456... if I can bare to drag it around with me.
