Some very nice shots there, the off camera flash certainly does a good job.

that's my wife, shes not that confident on a wet slippery rock that leads into a stream when there's already a que of people going down it.
sorry shes not hardcore enough. please carry on with your smarmy comments you dick

Thepodge, that was me if the flash went I took the shot, it may have been blurred or something hence it didn't make the cut. Sorry. Maybe next time!
Ref Mrs Podge, it matters not she was walking, she always had a smile that's hardcore enough in those conditions!Posted 11 months ago # -

yep, they are

Watch out I'll be at sswc with the camera!

I evidently need some pads for walking. Fell over in the garage when I got home cos my feet were still numb, battered my leg and am walking with a limp today...

Just to clarify, podge's wife isn't the fella gurning at the camera, she's the one smiling behind him. Probably laughing at podges seated descending technique I reckon...

Apologies for soaking the camera tollah, my gnarly threeride aura kicked up a veritable tidal wave!
Nicely captured me sniggering at sambobs crash too, busted!

my technique is perfectly good, I don't need to buy my skills with some la-di-da carbon bike unlike some Mr Thomas slowrider Smith.

I do but I can't afford it :o(

No, but there's a ford at the bottom with a slippery, slightly steppy exit and there was some bloke sat there pointing cameras at people. But clearly you're hardcore enough to come up and ride up them, since they're so not steep, so how about it? Slap-up cake and coffee fest at Rosie's in Hayfield says you can't do it. Winner buys...

Slightly steppy?! They need a bloody handrail. Fun though. I got my front wheel up one. I RULE.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Oh, and nice one of me on the steps too. Normally I crash instantly at the sight of a camera, so a bit of a result really - mind you I'd already splatted further back, ooops...

I bet people would pay to watch BWD's challenge!

Entry is free, there'll be some Peak Park by-law forbidding dog-bating as a public spectacle or something. I know those steps are rideable going up, and I figure that RoCkeTdOG with his random, jumbled characters should make mincemeat of it, seeing as they're apparently not very steep at all... So come on dOGgY, I'm sure you're not just one of those people who pokes fun at others' riding ability from the safety of your keyboard but won't put your cake money where you mouth is, erm, right?

Na, just a friendly, bantery, light-hearted challenge with cake at stake...

Thanks yesterday for a good days biking (despite the weather) and also for the loan of the playbus to get changed afterwards. It was my first singletrack pootle and I will definately look forwards to the next one

cake at stake...
World War 3 then?
Posted 11 months ago # -
The steps are rideable going down if you haven't got a traffic jam in front of you. Going up they're a proper challenge, I've got about 2/3rds of the way up. One day I'll clean them.
Posted 11 months ago # -
One day I'll clean them.
You can play too
three-way cake fest? Anyone else?
Posted 11 months ago # -
I can clean them, but then I am a riding dog, sorry; god.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Cheers all for a top day out yesterday.
Oh, and if the cake at stake is one of those Mars Bar cakes that we had after the ride, count me in. They were well nice!!
