    Count me in.

    Although I will be parking just up the road (same place as last time) and riding down to fairholmes.

    I can't see the point of paying œ4 to save a 2min ride.
  • hi gf3
    me to but its just easier 2 meet at fairholmes cheers

    I think I've probably just confused everyone.

    Meeting 9:00 - 9:30 by the Cafe at Fairholmes visitors center. A few of us will be parking just up the road instead; but we will still be meeting up at the cafe.

    Sorry to hear that. I know you never got on with it; but I rather liked it, quirks and all. (And no, I wont be bidding!)

    I don't know if Trio managed 100miles today. I tried but only managed a mere 60. It was just too wet and too cold for me (And I was missing my road bike / mud-guards). I had to stop two or three times to empty my socks!

    I didn't even try I went for a run as for some reason I've signed up to do a 10k so thought I should start training and then did a short ride this evening.

    Kate is joining us tomorrow gf3.

    Stevie I'm still not sure about saturday depends on how tired I am.
  • ok trio
    ssh how about u r u out

    I've got some good news and some bad news.

    The good news is Kate is joining us on Saturday.
    The bad news is we're going to have to start a bit earlier because she's got to get back early. Can we try and get to the Cafe ready to ride at 9:00??

    Trio; You could always have a few extra minutes in bed then join us half way around?

    We'll see, I'm tired after this mornings ride. Think I might need the sleep.

    Breast is hard but it's a nice walk and GF3 will keep you company if you want to walk it. I haven't done the Dalby red but from what I've heard it's hard, that's from people who can ride the beast, so I'm sure you'll be fine.
  • hi trio
    what breast is hard [:D]

    I'm sure you could ride down it gf3, I don't think there is a cheats route on the beast though!

    And after I was so nice to you [V][:I]
    Enjoy your snow boarding.

    p.s. I've packed the single speed bits; if you're not out I will hand them to Kate.

    I've just said you could ride down it!

    You get down the hills a lot faster than I do anyway. If I was there I wouldn't get down without stopping.

    Oh yes snowboarding, better go change the racks on the car.

    Nice to have you along. I'm sure you'll 'tame the beast'.
    We're setting off from Fairholmes cafe at 9;00!

    StevieJ, I haven't been able to get in contact with rob (wes). If you've got his number can you tell him about the earlier start time? He's normally there before 9:00 anyway!
