A couple of us are planning to come up from Brighton. Both suffering injury & motivation issues so will join the slowest group.

Cheers

If I can cycle by then I'll come and can give anyone a lift from Brighton. Will be testing the hopefully-not-broken-anymore ankle this weekend on a turbo...

Hi phil, its flebby+4 now. Still waiting on the last one.

Sooo many riders! I hope theres a big cafe there with a giant teapot and that the cafe is made of cake?

scud - Member

I'll be there can you add me to the list, did reply before but seem to have been missed off

Cheers

Posted 1 year ago #
philconsequence - Member

its its not that people have been missed off sorry if anybody has got the impression that they've been left off, a few pages back i asked for people to add their names to the list via copy and paste so i can get an idea on numbers for CG who is trying to organise getting some discount vouchers for her LBS like the angel she is!

i didnt want to add peoples names from earlier as it felt like i was assuming everyone was definitely in sorry for the misunderstanding!

PaulD.. if you're out there can you confirm if you're still up for leading the fast group?

Posted 1 year ago #
ralph1471 - Member

hi is it correct to assume that all-welcoming includes lurkers / newbies like me? and how fast is the fast group? its always hard to tell until you actually ride with people

Posted 1 year ago #
PaulD - Member

PaulD here.

Still planning on leading the fast group.

Went for a recce yesterday and all was well, apart from the temporary closures.

Labyrinth left-left is very damaged on the approaches to the berms, but it just slows you down...I was on my rigid SS Inbred and had trouble keeping hold of the bars!

Looking forward to it all immensely.

You can always reach me on paul.r.davisAThotmail.co.uk if necessary...I have not read this thread for many days.

ralph, be great to have you along!

Ice and snow fun in Scotland has fallen through. Furry thong needs a dry clean and I'll be ready. A working car would be helpful for the trip. Time to fettle the rust bucket.

philconsequence - Member

i'm considering spending the whole of saturday cleaning the bike in excitement for the ride

does anyone fancy leading a "medium" paced group? the numbers are looking good and 4 groups might be an idea:

1) paulD leading a fast group
2) thisisnotaspoon leading a second fast group
3) someone leading a medium group
4) CG leading a pootle group

perhaps?

if CG is leading the slow group i'm sticking to her like glue....well stretchy glue waaaaay behind with a broom to sweep up with

Posted 1 year ago #
cinnamon_girl - Member

Hey rOcKeTdOg - Aleigh will be sweeping, aided by mucho screaming and swearing.

Pootlers - just a wee bit of reassurance that there will be no pressure to ride anything you don't like the look of. I do tend to describe a trail if I feel pre-warning is helpful and always happy to explain in more detail. There will be opportunities for sessioning stuff too.

Worth emphasising that this will be a chilled group and the plan is to have fun and smiley faces.

Posted 1 year ago #
lexiekay - Member

How fast will the pootlers be going? The added pressure of deciding which group to be in is all proving too much!

lewismorgan - Member

I quite fancy this
will I be OK on a XC bike?
Think it will be a trip down and sleep in the car hahaha

Posted 1 year ago #
cinnamon_girl - Member

lexiekay - get yerself in the fast group cos I know you're no slouch!

lewismorgan - XC bike is absolutely fine! In fact any bike will be fine ... apart from a road bike. One thing you can guarantee is that every niche will be in attendance.

lewismorgan - Member

anybody going to be coming through
Lincs, Cambridge Leicester or Rutland?
and is there any particular accomodation everybody is staying at after?

Nice seeing you at Swinley yesturday Phil. Looking forward to the ride!

Posted 1 year ago #
Diane - Member

Well this ride certainly has had some build up. Think you should do group photos of about 10 so you can post names underneath then non participants could vote post ride on 'sexiness' of characters involved

ROLE CALL THREAD HERE.............. CLICKYCLICkY

Might be an idea for us group leaders to ensure we all head off in different directions?

Posted 1 year ago #
thisisnotaspoon - Member

oppps, posted my route in the wrong thread,

Anyway, it starts going out allong the fire road form go-ape right at the end, then up the singletrack to the start of 9yards/watsons wander, then I'll head off towards crowthorne woods for a bit before coming back allong seagull/stickler/tanktraps and heading in the general direction of the labrynth before coming back down the whole 9 yards to the lookout.
