    you going to Thetford or Chicksands? I must admit I would prefer Thetford myself but Troopy and Carlos have discussed Chicksands above for 3PM.

    We should ride Thetford for a day like that either Sunday or soon. Do you ever park at Brandon as it's free Apoc?

    It was good meeting you on Sunday, we'll have to do it again soon. I can't make it out this weekend, I've got none biking friends (the freaks) coming to stay.
    I will try and figure out how to get the video of the drop put up, i see you use image shack, how does that work?

    Who's out tonight?

    Yes it was good to meet you guys too. Would like to check that video out yeah

    I think imageshack does video to. Its easy (and free!) to use. Just go to imageshack.net and click on photo or video then browse to select the file from your computer. Once its uploaded the file it gives you a line of code for forums.

    As for Thetford this weekend I was also thinking lets see which day has the better weather :) WIll have a look at the forecast later in the week and go from there!

    Sorry to do this but I'm not going to be able to make tonight, I just have too much work to sort out and to add to it my data base program has thrown a wobbler. I might be out on thursday but i'll let you know.

    Some things just can't be avoided, tbh I'd much sooner be out riding but my business has to come first some times. Anyway it's not actually last minute is it!!

    I think Scott has taken issue with people not always being able to make rides and having to cancel. C'est la vie

    I can understand him being disappointed when people have to cancel, but as I said in a previous post sometimes it just cannot be avoided.
    I don't know what inspired the conversion of previous posts into Mose code though!

    Hello all,

    Bottom right of the page it says "All times are GMT" BST is GMT+ 1, hence it looks an hour out of sync.

    Enjoy yourselves this weekend. One more week before I'm back on the bike. Still no mech hanger from Wiggle, but got a nice apology for the delay.

    I'm out on site so if anyone is out tonight just leave a post and I'll pick it up on my mobile, but as it's a pain to reply with mobile I'll reply when I get back to the office. I'm looking to get out for 7.

    Not tonight, in fact I might not get out for 2-3 weeks.

    There are some serious bargains on that site Scott!
