OK, lots of chit chat about Matthew H's impending visit to the shallow end of the gene pool and into Crudder's Downhillery shenanigans. What's the learned opinion on the likely outcome? Options available, or add some more.


(p.s. Matt, hope no (serious) harm done, but if we can't take the mickey, who will? :mrgreen: )

    I'm going for the second option on the basis that he'll probably avoid the kamikaze black runs but is going to be riding a hard tail and will probably not clock the signs about dropping your saddle :D

  • I think he should be more concerned by the 'Deliverance' style initiation ceremony he'll be subject to first.

  • Is there a Frontal Lobotomy option or has that already happened?

    The runs are graded like ski runs - blue (easy), red (alright), black (a bit tricky) and double black (yikes). No green runs, but roadies will be familiar with the standard :wink: Here's a little taster so you can see what he's going to encounter:
    Blue
    Red
    Black
    Double Black

    I notice that the last option in the poll is now the most popular choice :lol:

    All clear now...

    This trip is in fact a "Crudder's Honeymoon", is it not?

    Everything will be fine. If you look carefully, at the top of the double black run, you can see the pub. That means matt will break all records finding the most direct route down.

    Not much of a downhill that.

    Here's a proper one

    Oh I only picked the last option because Matt has a thing for priests, he'll do anything to have a man pray over him...

    If he takes the blue pill, he'll wake up believing that road riding is good fun :wink:

    I went for the last option as he is doing it on a fixie cross bike with mudguards. He might escape the worst of it if he is relaxed enough due to beer consumption.

    What, are you going too? A threesome? Has Stevo found twins, or schizophrenics?

    Filth, just filth.

    I've got some music ready to play in the car while I'm on the M4 this afternoon:
    - Europe: The Final Countdown
    - Van Halen: Jump
    - Paul McCartney: Live and Let Die

    :D

    Off to sunny Wales in just under an hour, the minions can mind the ship for a couple of days...
