... and why?
just booked hotel in whistler for thursday to sunday during crankworx, why am i looking forward to it... eh... duh! 😀
I'm already hating this thread!!! 🙁
haha... i'm pretty stoked 😀
I bet you are - one of my biking ambitions is to go to Canada and ride with the redwoods
nothing so grand for me.. I had an extra stressful week last week so countered this by going out exploring around my local trails every night for a good few hours..
I discovered a good few miles of very good trails that are new to me.. and have managed to find ways to link them all up so that me and my buddie's usual loop can be almost doubled.. There is a really loose technical climb just before the end that I haven't managed to get anywhere even close to clearing so it will sit there as a challenge every time we ride the new improved loop..
going out on it later today.. weather looks awesome.. newish tires on to test out too..
good times
Looking forward to getting out for a blast this aternoon, sneaking off from work for a couple of hours.
Other than that, Sleepless in the Saddle next month & hopefully a few days in Wales.
Ssuk , c2c in September and dusk till dawn might go up to Scotland for a few days as well. Also looking forward to doing a bit of bivvying
Just the next ride, tonight, well race actually.
Don't want to sound like a soggy wet hippy, but I just enjoy riding even if it's on my local patch every day. Probably why I've never ever been biking abroad, except road training.
10 @ kirroughtree
going to wales in august with my brother to d osome of the southern trail centres.
Closer to now would be tonight, doing the usual fast club mtb ride. Theres always something new on it, always good people to chat to and i know that come tomorrow i'll find it hard to walk. Thats a 'night out' for me 😀
Welsh Coast to Coast offroad route on Friday...Cardiff here we come!
A new (to me) frame,due to be delivered this morning,my first hardtail in22 years.

I'm looking forward to proper electronically controlled shocks that are reliable and tuneable at home - it'll satisfy the inner geek in me 🙂
I'm also looking forward to a ride tomorrow evening - nothing special but dry trails are just great
My ride home tonight. Really enjoying my commute at the moment, even though the weather isn't great - windy and showers - everything just feels right on the bike at the moment.
Looking forward to quicker handling and a livelier front end due to a 70mm stem on the way to replace the 120mm one that is currently making my bike feel like a tanker.
I'm just looking forward to being able to ride again. Broke my collar bone last week, hope to be riding again in no more than 3 from what my physio said yesterday. Until then it's turbo in front of the tour for me i think.
setting off for Morzine on Friday! This is the longest week at work in the world 🙄
A trip to Fort William / Laggan in a few months. Also looking forward to seeing the Evil Sect, if it ever makes it past the prototype stage...
Kielder 100, or more specifically spending a summer getting ready for it. I suspect the actual even will be one I enjoy more before and after the event rather than say, the third quarter when it is feeling "difficult".
Oh, and getting my new daughter in the Burley Bee I won recently 🙂
steveh i sympathise.
Im hoping for the ok to go ride when i go see the doc tomorrow about my fractured elbow. Only did it 3 weeks ago, but the weather has been amazing and all i've been able to do is bleed my brakes!
Oh and [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/forum-ride-isle-of-wight-sat-24th-july ]this[/url]
A test ride of a Ragley Titanium this weekend. Need I explain why I am excited?
I'm looking forward to proper electronically controlled shocks that are reliable and tuneable at home - it'll satisfy the inner geek in m
It's not electronic, but the Cane Creek Double Barrel does give you the level of tunability you'll likely be looking for.
Dusty Surrey Hills trails tomorrow
Moving to Manchester at the end of summer and all the superb riding opportunities it's going to bring 🙂
4 weeks off work(paid), new bike build, tdf on the telly. riding again after bad broken toe! prob start raining tho...
A week's road trip around Scotland later this year,
Then looking forward to the colder months !
Well, I bought a bargainous new winter jacket at the weekend....... love it :-)...........................can't wait to wear it 😉
Leaving work and doing some local stuff especially one climb that I have only ever come down, looking forward to the piece and quiet and not having to worry about where I am going or when I am coming back. Why because later today I have to tell my boss that the job he quoted 10 weeks to deliver will be impossible to do in less than 20 and he is going to shout. He should have asked before he quoted though which is something he never does.
Looking forward to my lunchtime commute home to walk the dogs, but not so much liking the flies hitting me in the face, or the ****wits strimming the verge blocking the whole ****ING cycle track _again_!
Other than that, I think I might take the bike back home this weekend and hit the trails in one of my local woods. It's been a while since I went. Hell, I might even try Thetford on the way home.
My 3 days off work starting at 5pm today!
Road ride tomorrow then MTB Thursday and Friday.
Also the Three Peaks CX race in September.
Next week holiday on exmoor. Exploring a new part of uk on bike.

Friday morning Mendip ride with ScienceOfficer. I wonder if I could get to Brechfa at the weekend?
Looking forward to some easy evenings trying to make a wee film out of the local (edinburgh) city singletrack with my super-tuned Charge singlespeed, which is riding like a little rocket at the moment.
Hacking round the local woods on my 6 year old stiffee, now I've changed the bottom bracket and cleaned greased the stem and headset so it no longer creaks!!
Also seriously looking forward to giving the mega another go next year!
Morzine in 5 weeks.... but also tonights XC around Leicestershire and a pint of fine ale afterwards 🙂 Riding my hardtail for the first time in ages on Thursday round Shady Pines. Dishing out the finally edited movie of our March 7 Stanes trip to the lads post ride..... It's all good... 🙂
