A few of us are riding from Birdlip doing a bit of Cranham etc.

Meeting at the Birdlip dogging viewpoint carpark at 10am.

Post up if you fancy joining us and we'll keep an eye open for you.

🙂

How far you planning on riding? I could be interested depending on how shock and fork maintenance go this weekend…

booo, I'm away.. 😕

No chance for me!
All my free time brownie points are being used up tomorrow 🙁

Hmmmm, was planning on beering all day, but biking then beer could work

10am ready to fettle or ready to ride?

I might be up for another go at Cranham. It was great last weekend.

might try and come out 😯

10am ready to go ideally but happy to delay if it helps. I need to be finished for 2pm to get back for 2.30 so that should hopefully lead to about 3-4 hours riding.

Lookmanohands – I think Mboy was gonna drop you a line

… and grind!

Watch out on teachers it was well blocked awhile back.Branches set all over the place even down just after the jump at the bottom.Fine wednesday morning.

Which one is teachers?

teachers is the fairly steep decent through the trees, ends by the river with a couple of jumps. The top is on the long track that runs parallel to the road and is after the first singletrack section after the hump after the house after the sawmill after the shrine.

Mr MO theres alot of afters there are you thinking about desserts.Hows the new bike going?Teachers is a funny one to explain.Theres a nice bit of trail added to the trail though the wall at the top of the portway.It finishes going over a broken wall with a steepish slope to the road nice add on.

Don't fret, I can help with directions on Monday. 8)

Are you bringing the dogs?They may be fretting at the sedate pace 🙄

Hmmmm… Lookmanohands – you gonna be trying to rip our legs off? 😉

Think I will pop along if not for anything other than to see that cute Si Massey 😉

"Are you bringing the dogs?"

Is this going to be a bike ride of an off shoot of Crufts?

How about we meet at 10pm?

ha I'm up for that.
theres always at least 1 dodgy car or van there. no matter what time of day.
two mtb'ers loitering there the other evening as I went past with a couple of friends. anyone from here?

Yeti – will you be in your white van?

your white van?

Birdlip fail! I'll be in the Renault Scenic, wouldn't want to spoil (or deprive anyone of) a good view.

remedyflyer, yes a lot of afters. But can't think of a better way of describing its location. One of those you know where it is, just don't try and explain where it is! I suppose i could have used the directions i heard yesterday, well you follow the twisty uppy downy singletrack and it is a turning off of that.

New bike is fine, quick and smooth.

No dogs for me tomorrow and certainly no leg ripping off from me, strictly 32×21 tomorrow 😉

Almost had to pullout but a quick trip to the LBS and a sore wallet means I'm good to go 🙂

Not allowed…

You'll be there by any means, parts begged, stolen, or borrowed! 😉

Cool, you can ride it up the hills then, I'll ride it down… 😛

Hey Guys,

I'm new to the area and been looking for a new social scene.

Open to an avid rider, looking to meet new trails and people?

Ian

Welcome aboard Ian. You can bring the rubber trousers! 😯

Plus one possibly two here, just hoping my bars dont snap!

Hey Kieran, hows the bruises. If that is the Kieran I know. 😉

Deff gonna be out, so long as I let the chickens out at 6am that is! 😯

Not great! Think I'll avoid the trees and thorn bushes tomorrow.

Looking almost like there's gonna be quite a few people turn out for this one then!

Bringing at least one extra myself now, let's hope some people know where they're going! 😉

See you all in the morning.

I know where I'm going generally. It's just keeping out of the undergrowth that seems to be my issue at the moment 🙁

Fair play kieran. That was one of the best crashes I have ever seen. Not the most brutal but a very impressive lack of deceleration before you left the edge of the hill and a great airtime before you landed up the tree. 😆

LOL!!

Starting to wish I'd not been drinking for the last 7 hours but lets see how it goes – what's the worst that can happen?

Can't make this now. Have a ggod ride.

Sorry to hear that Pete. Cheers!

Big thanks to everyone to came out to play. Hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did.

Extra big thanks to Ian for showing us some new bits and how to ride sections the right way round. 😉

Yeah over did things on a local ride yesterday and my back is playing up.
