I have the day off so am heading down for my final fix of the year if anyone fancies it!

Ill be dropping crazy baby at grandparents on the way so cant do lifts im afraid.

Am keen - will try and juggle the Northern Christmas / New Year social calendar!!!

Wish i could as i cant get enough of that place and the DJ's but am working till 1:00 so would be 2:30 by the time i got there!!

That's the 2nd ride on that day that I'd love to go to - it's also the only day I'm working over Christmas

Some of us have to work, but i'm keen to try out one of these places Jon so next time your doing one let me know, The 29er is broke now so i only have the GT Junkyard build to play on, ideal for learning this jumpy stuff

Jon

It's on like donkey kong! I will be there with big bike.

What sort of time?

Nigel

Im gonna have a word with some mates and try and get there on this day, ll update after xmas

I'll try to be there as well- should know it tomorrow

Nice one fellas



lol aiming to get down there for 10 mate

Hi,I would quite like to get a taste of this stuff.obviously won't be hitting the same stuff as you lot but would appreciate a nod in the right direction.also any bits you would recommend,pads etc as I have a few spare pennies.cheers.Clint.

Hey hannibal.. id say for any of the local DH spots - aston, woburn, danbury a full face should be your first stop. Anything from 661 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Sear ... +full+face or THE http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Sear ... the+helmet oneal bell or urge will do the trick.

Flat pedals are a good idea too and id recommend knee or knee shins guards

After that its up to you.. some run arms, some full body armour some don't

In terms of getting value from a day out id say Danbury is MUCH better if your new to DH than Woburn. Danbury you can roll everything Woburn maybe only 40% of the stuff. But feel free to drop by on Friday and make ur own mind up!

Some talk in this months dirt of...

"work has begun on what will become Woburns longest DH run to date called Bee Sting"

I wonder if that's the one which runs round to the dirt jumps? I cant think of anywhere else it could be?

Thanks Jon,was thinking knee and shin.will have a look at the full faces.might see if anyone up for Danbury first then.but realy want to get out fri so will tag along if not.thanks again.

Should be there for the morning session. haven’t been riding for few weeks and will take it recreationally.... I hope
