See you all in a bit!

Although the info is correct, I'm just trying to wind y'all up. I was umming and ahhing. Now I've made my decision to come, I don't care any more. But I have fine waterproofs!

Just started to piss down ten mins ago... half a mile from the Lookout. Gone all dark and gloomy - sure the BBC have issued a severe weather warning by now (just incase).
Anyway.....despite keeping off this thread until now and saying i had other stuff to do...... I think I'll join you all.
Now where's me Goretex?Posted 2 years ago # -

Gonna bail on this. I prefer windsurfing when its as extreame as it is outside today, and its pretty extreme. It doesnt nearly hurt as much when you fall off.
Enjoy allPosted 2 years ago # -

I've bailed (!) on a ride (not this one) round that way because of the weather, I'm a northerner and it's grimmer than up north

My singlespeed bodge should be fine now. It's great riding today, soft, muddy, can't see without glasses. I'm lovin' it!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Well that was great fun!
A bit damp but still great fun. I am now going to soak in the bath with a couple of cold Innes & Gunn!
Thanks all.

Was good fun to get really muddy. Good to see some new face to.
Well done CG.

I had a great time - it was lovely to see some familiar faces along with new ones too
Also I'd like to say a big thanks to Jedi who gave me some great tips on how to ride better, a top bloke (who also loves singing totally random songs very loudly haha!)Ali

Just finished washing everything and eating. Thanks go to CG for organinising generally and for PP and Mark (?) for expertly leading round the intermediates, I had a great time. I have to see how my BB handles being completely submerged in that massive puddle!
Kudos to Turboferret for being so blooming quick on his SS and for his waterproof socks...Pete (dark red Blur)

It was pretty good,despite the downpour. Sods law strikes again!! I can't believe how wet the trails have gotten in just a few days, they was dry last tuesday!
Top work, CG, for doing the organising - count me in for the next one Posted 2 years ago # -
2nd on thanks for organising. Am currently breaking the washing machine from filling it with Swinley grit and have already ordered new brake pads for the set that wore out
Posted 2 years ago # -
Cheers CG! And thanks be to bloke (forgive me, very rude of me but I didnt catch his name!) who provided the cakes!!! He was taking photos on the jumpy group! They were absolutely lovely and most needed to cool me down and clear the dust off my throat!!!
Also thanks to Dave (Solomander) who led our group twas great fun! Even if I have literally no brake left!
Cheers
Nick
