Really sorry to miss it because I'm away on holiday. Hope you have fun.
Ollie - this ride will be more fun! Can you fit a dog guard so RudeBoy won't be able to get up to any mischief 😉
PePPeR - haven't heard of the Farnborough flier - what's that all about then?
buzz - thank you, hope you have a good holiday!
CG - Yep. Ready for distribution as from now. Roll up, roll up!
I guess you mean if I get one of these and put RB in the boot...

CG its a multi terrain run 12km in length and with a big hill in the middle.

Ollie - that's just about perfect, think you can get a doggie seatbelt too 8)
See you both on Sunday then?
PePPeR - thought you meant Farnborough in Hampshire 🙂 Actually that looks a great event, just the sort of thing I used to do years ago.
PP - I checked the forum, will get in touch with MrsP
I'll definitely be there. I grew up in Watlington so always nice to pay a visit to the old trails.
CG - If I do come on Sunday I can bring it along for you, but she'll be dishing them out tonight outside Potters.....
PP - may well drop by Potters tonight then. Thanks.
See you Sunday - I'll be on a blue Santa Cruz.
Car park shouldn't be too bad on a Sunday.
Happy to help with short cuts and routes as I live in Watlington.
cheers
Rachel
pedalhead and watly - looking forward to meeting you both, thanks also for offer to help.
Same here, looking forward to meeting everyone. Weather is looking good for Saturday so far, so hopefully that'll carry over into Sunday. I'll be in an MR2 with an orange Turner perched on the back.
Really good news about the weather 🙂
Chilterns is looking glorious and if anyone is into birdies, binoculars could be useful. Last weekend I was watching a pair of red kites telling a buzzard to **** off. Thought there was going to be blood and feathers everywhere 😯
The rollcall continues ...
yep those kites are amazing. Massive wingspan when you see them up close.
Hi CG, I'll be there, unusually late start for me though, normally riding before 9 from Watlington, helps avoid the traffic later in the morning.
Probably have a couple of friends with me. Happy to help out with guiding if required, send me a copy of the route if you need me to.
i'll be there .... single speed whyte preston and the one sneezing a lot as hayfver is not good this week a a a chooo
Watch out for a skinny bearded man on either an Altitude 30 or if I am feeling brave my iO.
Looking more likely I'll be able to make this CG..!
🙂
Would love to join you CG but Im in California till the end of July (its a hard life 😉 ) - maybe August? Have a good one, hope the trails are nice & dry 4 u!
Hello CG
I'll be there and am going to do a short ride beforehand so will be setting off from Watlington at 9 to get back to the CP for 1030. Will come and find you when I get back to the CP.
Road training in France the weekend, but will make every effort to be there.
Should be good.
Hello everyone, sounds good, will be turning up for this. 😀 I also know the area pretty well. Should be fun riding in a largish group!
Hope I might be able to make this, never explored Chilterns before and as it's only an hour away, I'm very tempted to come down. *Think* I might have a passout sorted, and even though it means recording the British GP, I think the biking has to come first...!
😆
Will confirm passout with SWMBO this eve. Assuming I make it, I'll be arriving in the silly little red car... 😉

Neil
yep I hope to make it - know the area very well myself if it helps at any point.
Passout confirmed, I'll be there!
Weather forcast is looking good, so I'll probably be there.
🙂
I take it some home-made biscuits/cake/flapjack type snacks would be welcome?
😀
Did someone say "flapjack"?! 😀
Yumyum
I have just remembered that it is the Grand Prix this weekend at Silverstone. So driving from Northampton to Oxford on the A43 is not a great idea. Looks like I will be doing a big loop detour to avoid all that lot.

****ing cheek. Is that where I'd have to sit? You'd put me in the back of the motor, like a dog?
Bastards. I bet you'd leave me in there all day, too, whilst youse go off for a nice bikey.
Probbly not even leave a window cracked open, or any water. In the sweltering heat, too.
Utter bastards.
Can someone carry my camelbak? there's 50p in it for you if you do.
I hate camelbaks.
Don't think a gel, tube, Co2 and levers is gonna cut it Sunday.
Wow! This is going to be quite a gathering. I'm getting so excited 8)
Mr Poddy Master Baker we will be honoured indeed to partake in your offerings - I KNOW they will up to your and Mrs Poddy's high standard 😀
RudeBoy - fear not Auntie C_G will take care of you again, just like I did at Swinley.
Just a reminder - there have been one or two rain showers this week which means trails will be even more overgrown 🙁
Meant to have said that if any of the locals who have kindly offered to help would like a gpx file of proposed route, please let me know. E-mail address in my profile.
Thank you!
I might be around for this now - will ride over to the carpark if so. Also a local so happy to take sweep position as and when.
Master Baker?
How VERY dare you!
😉
My attendance now is pretty much reliant on weather I can get my bike in the back of the borrowed convertable we have right now, as Kirsty needs our car for her charity work.....
😕
Count me + 1 in too CG :-). Also bringing a troutlight along to show anyone first hand what a neat and small light it is.
I'll mail you later CG with contact details etc should we get delayed... Roll on sunday 🙂
Damn, I would have been [i]so[/i] up for this, but I committed to helping out on a Bike Week Sustrans charity ride. Still, there's Gilles Pewsey/Marlborough ride the 28th, so mebbe see some of you there?
I could join you if it was flat 🙁
Deano - thanks!
smudge - what's a troutlight 😳
Count - bad luck, will reply to other thread though.
Dez - has your hand not healed yet? It's taking its time isn't it? Must be so frustrating and that poor trailhound will be getting so unfit 😀
A few of us went out on thursday night and the trails were dry and fast albeit overgrown in places.
Not a problem though, should be good.
I'm finding myself unexpectedly available this weekend. Can I come too?
Have read through most of the thread but just need to check:
Does one need to bring food? Or just shnackettes?
Looking forward to seeing you...and Rude, I owe you a beer for all the devil-on-your-shoulder shenanigans!
can you send me a gpx of the route please - e-mail in profile.
Thanks.
I'm bringing the jaffa cakes!
Just bring snacks. There's pub grub at the end, and a co-op in the village.
deadlydarcy - of course you can come!
Not sure what others are doing as regards food but I will definitely be eating my picnic (sandwiches really) on a grassy spot somewhere on the route 😀
singletracksurfer - your e-mail isn't in your profile!
pedalhead - jaffa cakes sounds good 8)
