Seeing as you fellow radar'erers enjoyed it last weekend, am booking again for sat 11th and thought I'd see if anyone wants to come again or new faces come along?

Shout up if your interested!

Might even be having beers on the friday night beforehand...

    When do you need to know by? I've marked it in my diary, I need to check over my Blender as to whether it's up for it (haven't ridden it for a couple of months now)
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Want to book tomorrow as away for a couple of days after that and want to get us in before the spaces are gone. So, have you checked it??

    Shoot, only just seen this. Count me as in! If you've booked already, no worries, I'll check to see if I can get myself on

    Legend! Cheers muchly. Let me know when you want monies and I'll send them over.

    Checked the Blender's tyres as weren't sure they'd be suitable. Turns out one's a DH Minion, the other's a High Roller Super Tacky. Should do the trick! Can't wait to put the Blender through its paces!

    See you on the 11th :D

    You'll love it!

    Do you guys want to pay me, then i'll pay as a group booking?

    Who is interested in beer and frolics the night before?
  • thekickingmule

    I'll be busy on the Friday night, so beer or frolicing for me sadly. Well, maybe a couple with some mates first ;)

    I'll do whatever the others do, but paying as a group makes sense to me.

    tudj You'll love it! I broke my DH cherry last time I was there. Start off with the blue and work your way up. Believe me when I say that everything on the blue IS rollable! I never advanced from there to the red, so can't vouch for it, however I plan on doing at least one red run this time.

    I'm hoping to have a few goes on the red, no idea where my riding fits in with DH ratings though so will have to play it by ear :P

    Will PM you.

    Going by the vids you put on of the peaks, you'll be fine to have a look at all 4 tracks.
    Everything on all 4 tracks is rollable, but perhaps not best advised as some parts are much easier dealt with as small drop offs. They just get rockier and steeper as they go. Start on the blue, move to the red and just do whatever your comfortable with.

    I do indeed. I've Paypalled you this time though if that's alright. You should have the money now.

    Cheers

    Just checked online with Glan Aber and they've only got 1 bunk room left for the night of Friday 10th :(

    I'll call them to check and then report back...

    Just 'phoned the Glan Aber and they haven't got any rooms in either the bunkhouse or the hotel.

    Plan B?

    A quick search brought this up, I've not looked too much into it as I'm at work atm, it's ~20 mins drive from Stiniog.

    Do not even think of the vagabond, after trying twice to block my review on tripadvisor, hes now resorted to saying I was a drunk causing trouble!

    Weather forecast has steadily been getting worse for sat, now showing rain most of the day, hey it is wales so don't forget your waterproofs!!
    See you all about 9am at stinny, and some of you a bit earlier ;)
  • thekickingmule

    Is it 9am registering for a 10am start? I'm aiming to get there for 9:30ish.

    The Pikes are up and running now, just need to put them back on the bike. I've bought new pads, a new jersey, DH innertubes and a crudcatcher. Depending on how tomorrow goes, next on my list could be a DH bike... ;)

    Must remember to pack the waterproofs!

    Office opens at 9 for sign on, then usually get ready with the trailers anything from 9:30 onwards.
    Yes, don't forget the waterproofs!!
