[#447309]

Meeting at the Hound at 12.00. Nothing too epic ( keeping powder dry for Sunday ) but planning on all the technical treats between the hound and the Warren House. Psycho, Rib Popper, Coombe down, Bowermans, Dingly Dell. Plus anything else that anyone can think of.

Sick dude.

Yeah! that's the place.

TM don't mind me i'll just butt in and be a pain here for a while..

Hello snaps...i can't make tomorow as there's no way of me getting to dunster, the steam trains run too late and the buses are shite too.
Thanks for the offer and enjoy.

back to you TM 😉

Snaps. Yes it is. SX810784

Si, gonna give Canyons a miss and try Rib Popper, which runs adjacent. You have to climb back up to do the triangle but it's more techno than Canyons.

You can join in Sharki. We still love you even if you are broken 😀

I did look at coming down this weekend for the race for cake, but i turned out as 'the race to actually get there before the weekend ended'

Got the PA built up now, lots of fun trying to remember how to ride a hardtail well, singlespeeded though.

If the Gawton thing is Friday, i may be interested too, but got to go to Cornwall Saturday.

its on the saturday but its open every day of the week, you just have to splash out £5 on a day ticket from dartmoor cycles.

on the saturday its free, there is a burger van, soundsystem and a whole load of demo bikes.

there may even be a free uplift (first come, first served) but the wheel fell off our trailer earlier in the week....

and just for interest, there are finally patching up the roads on the moors after the beating they've had over the winter.

not sure if they are working over the weekend but it was a slow run home tonight.

Still big holes over the east side. It'll give the sheeps some nice shady places to hide in during the summer though 8)

Yeah, that's the main drag. I reckon it will be some time before all the damage is sorted, if ever.
