just read this, kind words ringo and i know the riding is going well rigid 29er jump boy! 🙂
Just been looking at the website if anyone fancies doing and 1-2-3 or 1-2-4 course at 10£ and 15£ per hour respectively I'd be game I'm happy to pick people up along the way
andy7t2 I'm usually in the park on a Thursday night what f you ride, and do you ride fast or at a medium fat boy pace?
Andy, You haven't seen me ride, I suspect that your medium fat boy pace may well be faster than I ride 😉
I was thinking the same thing but the other way round. We shal see on Tuesday. I have some cracking excuses at the moment for 'not being as fast as usual' just in case you are shed loads faster than me. 😆
I have none 😉
I do the monkey in about 29 minutes on a good day. Can do the monkey and dog in about an hour if that's any sort of guide for you.
more like slow fat boy pace,
are you out tom night i'll look out for you, i'll be on a pink on one
I don't think you will need any in that case. If i did them both in an hour I would be checking if my watch had stopped. If it hadn't I would be looking for the worm hole I fell through. I didn't even think it was possible to go round that fast. 😯
Cracking advert for the bikeschool this thread is!!!
It's a more usual time of about 40 minutes and 1 hour 20-30 and that's if I'm on my own... Always seems to take forever with a group... Or maybe my computer is wrong I don't wear a watch.
I've seen the pink on one dude around the park before! super loud free wheeler!
hope hoops so could be me
Yeah it's definitley you bloke... I usually ride a white commencal meta or a green 456ss, I ride with a group of lads usually, a kona a canyon and a spesh camber..? ring any bells..? not out on Thursdays its skateclub up digbeth...
With regard t teh dog times, I remember 4 sections were closed when I did the 29 minutes so some fire road diversions. thats probably why I've never done it that quick since.
think i've seen you up at the ice cream van last summer, if it was spoke to you about building trails and rangers nicking shovels.

And your point is!!! never used the bikeschool they may well be amazing, i have however been to see Jedi and can say he is well worth the money, all in my opinion of course. Having ridden with you Tom, and knowing your ability to fall of at the slightest bump you would benefit from either course 😉
andy7t2 I will be out tomorrow night probably get into the park about 8ish I will be on a blue BFe and possibly be with my rather slow brother on his shonkey red 456.
Will you be on your own or in a group? Do you want to meet up and do a little bit together?
passtherizla I think your lieing about riding at a fat boy medium pace. Getting round FtD and the Monkey in an hour is averaging 15mph, I only averaged about 16mph when I had my road bike.
seeing people piss past me on rigid single speeders has led me to believe I ride slow... I sometimes ride with my Pal simon and his brother, they ride single speed rigids and are always waiting for me! Maybe this has increased my pace a bit... I have been led to believe that I am off the pace generally by these guys. I used to average about 20 on my Roadie.. it's gone now though I got scared when my boy was born about leaving him fatherless.
wasn't she beautiful!
