Just back from jaunt to Brighton...
(not on the bike )

Looking forward to Wednesday's session

I just need to be conscious that I need to remain contactable for work until late morning / midday before going off-radar for the afternoon's riding...

Just thought do i need my full face or normal XC stuff?
I have enough padding to come as Robocop? to what extent shall i pad up?

Never worn any pads or fullface there before, although will be in knee pads tomorrow.

Lakeside/thurrock services are a pita for me to get to, so can meet you at Clacket lane services or at the car park in the surrey hills at 11.15-11.30.

Phew.. I'll be OK then..

Do you advise packing some grub into our bags or is it a case of stay light and there are places to find sustenance during the day..

Cheers,
Ev

Bring food although we will be passing shop/pub whilst cycling.

Cool see you at clacket lane then!

Have fun guys

Clay is back on and we've organised where were going for brekki!

I'm just getting shoes pads and bag ready. just put some "Stuff" in my camel pack bladder, spare brake pads in the bag and chain link etc.
head cam is charging and phone is charged......................?Hmm what have i missed?

Now you have me wondering

Got my usual gear packed but seeing your list points out stuff I need to buy to have ready such as link, spare pads, etc...

But importantly, I've got us a couple of cakes to share for our lunch

So looking forward to it

Having just polished of a large chicken shish with chips, all I'm saying until I gather my thoughts is



OMG!! What a day!!!

Big shout to Beardee for our guided tour..

We had a guy on a uni-cycle with us all day too which was interesting

Enjoying sitting on my nice comfy sofa after forgetting to wear riding shorts

And it's just as well my mileage logging wasn't being taken from my rear wheel as it seemed to spend half it's time bouncing all over the trails

Awesome day chaps.. Hope the footage from frame-cam comes out ok

Well done Beardie!
video is editing at the moment, I have consumed
1 x large chips
1 x spring roll
1 x large battered sausage
3 x beers
working on the toblerone!

Not only am i not in trouble for being late home, wife bought me chocolate and is talking to me

VW and Serfer is it really taxing. I got out on my bike for the first time since breaking my Ankle and did 18.5k in about 2 hrs was bloody knackered by the end though. I had some trouble with a few slopes! Wouldn't feel right calling them hills!

I'm gonna try and get at least 2 or 3 rides in per week to prepare and I've got a month roughly

Epic - this forum never fails to entertain - looking forward to footage of that

Damo continually whellied at every opertunity to show the rest of us how bad we are at riding compared to the Demi god of riding

Ha Ha...! I have just kissed the duchess goodnight explaining for the last 5 hours that the bikes really are not "the other women in my life" and that there really was a traffic jam on the m25 and i am sorry the dinner was shot and am sorry i couldnt put the kids to bed and yes, i know youve had a hard day and no im not riding thurs etc etc..! Then come straight downstairs, log on and look for new forks, camera, and talk to a load of hairy arsed brokeback mountain bikers..! What a life..What a day..!
