    Everyone still ok for the uplift next Sunday?! Are you aiming to get there for the first run at 9.30?

    Frogstomp also coming along too - not sure whether we have all managed to take over the uplift van yet?!! How many of us are there?

    I think there's 7 of us yocals (inc NM) plus another 3 or 4. Should be great, but I hope the weather improves!

    Still gutted I coldn't make this. Looks like there's be some soggy Santas next weekend if that forecast is right: at least the track holds up pretty well when it's wet, even if your clothing doesn't :)

    the toilets were open the other day when I was there, didn't go in though so I'm not sure about the showers.

    Getting excited for this, going to be an early start to get down there for the 1st bus but should make it. Going to take the EG for a blast tomorrow just to make sure it's actually working... then sort some tougher tyres out, maybe even put the DH wheels on it.

    I found out yesterday that 2 of the other guys on the bus are friends of friends, so I've told them to get santa suits as well. so hopefully there'll be about 13/14 of us dressed up :)

    The two or three people coming for the uplift that are not in your group are going to wonder what the fark is going on :D

    Really enjoyed that today, definitely worth the trip. Jealous of you Welshlanders though having that riding like that so close by.

    Just remembered! I don't actually know who lent me £2 for the car parking (he only rode with us in the morning?) but thank you - I meant to repay you at lunch when I had some change but you had gone by then!

    Get in touch and I can sort somehow! :D
