    May come along to the next one. Been riding a bit more recently. Still not got my full suss though Steveo. Instead will be on another burlier hard tail haha
    Lets hope the spokes and tyres are bit beefier Pesky. The trip after the March one might be in May. I may even try to do that gap jump properly next time :)

    They are actually! Well maybe not tyres. Maybe they were over inflated? Well when you do, perhaps do it after a few runs and not the first pedal of the day!

    Friday 6th May is the next one after the March jaunt. Seems to be booking up fast for the decent weather. Be there or be a roadie...

    A. It's miles from Cheltenham.
    B. It's near Cinderford - Banjo country
    C. Dot no miss an opportunity to pop into the 'Naam, sit in a Promenade Cafe and watch all the pretty women go by.
    D. Watch out for the speed cameras out of Gloucester on the A40, there's loads of them.

    The website says its near Cheltenham - guess they have to out somewhere we've heard of. Banjo country isn't a problem, we usually go to The Valleys...

    29 spaces left - keep an eye on it. Let me know and we can try and sort you with accommodation if you fancy a beer the night before.

    Edit: you can hire bikes from BPW.

    @ Flan - maybe worth booking the uplift and you can move the date for free as long as its more than 8 days in advance. 13 spaces still left.

    TLW obviously doesn't want to miss out on the Welsh landlady. You had better keep him happy Stevo.

    Either Forest of Dean; the new Flyup417 place near Gloucester; or Gawton down in Devon.

    Need to toss a coin or something. Darryl's getting married tomorrow so I might not hear back from him till the weekend :roll: :)

    If he takes you to the Brierley Bonk, it would be a dark side too far for you.
