May have to bow out dependent if family get better by tmr. New tyres are on but free hub is making a racket when free wheeling. It'll have to be until new free hub arrives next week. Oh joy :)

+1 on that mate, did turn out a nice ride and what a lot of us, wouldnt have said it was really beginners ride as everyone seemed happy doing everything we did. well done to you and Nick for sorting it and leading the ride. Nicks 30 +mph run on the down hill at Warley was most impressive

Yep!! Big big thanks to all who turned up. Weather was more or less perfect, and the trails were manageable.
The next one we'll be doing as a "Beginners Ride" will more than likely be the Belhus loop with Festa hosting, so keep your eyes peeled for that one!
Anyway, back to dinner with the family, & thanks again to everyone for making the day what it was, and huge thanks to Ian for being a more than amachable guide. :thumbup:

Big thanks to Nick and Ian for organising today's ride and everyone else that came along, it was great fun and Ian's knowledge of Warley and Thorndon is immense.

Looking forward to the next one a Belhus park
