    Sorry Trio, I didn't. [:I]

    I took a BIG shortcut back to the car (missing the beast) to get Kate to work on time. I'm sure you'll get the full story shortly.

    I'm sorry you couldn't make it today. Hopefully I will get to join you for a ride again in a few weeks time.

    Stevie, I've forgot what i'm bidding up to.

    So far i've bid œ300 on the frame and œ30 on the forks. I will keep bidding small amounts to push the price up.

    I assume you want at-least œ400 for the frame and œ75 for the forks???

    Kate was nearly late for work again............what ever next!

    So what is the full story?

    Sorry no gossip. We just parted from the group and took the short way back to the car(s). I think she was early for once!

    Talking of gossip, you'll get to meet Rach tomorrow, I'm dreading it. I know what you ladies can be like when you get chance to have a good chin wag.

    Not yet. Been working my weekends, and have had a virus, so not been out on the bike. Have to get one this week, as the nice weather is here for biking.

    Would you believe it, went to Edinburgh Cycles in Manchester today to get a led, and guess what, its bleedin stock take day.

    My max bid on the frame is œ438, œ95 on the fork. You can always cancel my last bid(s) and let it go to someone else!

    I don't think I'm going to be out much at the weekends anymore.

    On Sunday Rach attended the ladies forum ride at Kilnsey park. Unfortunately she managed to miss everyone and ended up riding on her own. To cut a long story short she got bit lost and ended up falling off quite a lot. I think the experience has rather put her off MTBing.

    She now just ordered a road bike instead. I'm afriad it looks like i'm going time trialling with Rach on a Sat morning instead of MTBing with you lot!

    I'm normally racing or cycling with my local club on a Sunday.

    That's rubbish gf3, I never went on sunday so I don't know how many were there. I'm sure you could get her into mountain biking, she is just on a bike that is too big. She could come out with us at some point. How tall is she? My OH's bike might be the right size.

    She is braver than me I don't like riding off road on my own!

    @Trio

    It's probably her own fault she missed everyone. Shes always late, and they wouldn't of known to wait for her. BTW I think you're right about the bike being too big (Fancy you knowing that!). She's 5-10 with long legs but a short body. She's probably better off with a ladies bike instead of a mans; but thank-you ever so much for offering to loan her a bike.

    I will still be MTBing, I just wont be out as often. After all, i've still got to impress you by getting down the beast without cheating! [;)]

    I'd better make sure I can get down the beast.

    The bike would probably fit her perfectly if she fancies a go, she really needs to start on easier stuff! But your bike being way too bike would be enough to put anyone off.

    Can't you get her two bikes? A road bike and a mountain bike?

    Thanks Trio.

    We're going to hire her a MTB bike at Cannock chase on Sunday and take it from there. Thanks to you should could well end up with a two new bikes!
