6:30 at the gas station at the end of Coxford Rd. All welcome. It is a slow and friendly ride.

Feel free to bring niche bikes. I will be on my custom built Ti, fully rigid fixie.

If anyone want to try the pleasures of riding fixie off road then they are welcome to have a go.

What are the chances of making the rock garden / motorway embankment descent fixed?

If i have fixed my light by thursday then may get along to give it a try, if not then maybe following week. Spent a good bit of time on sunday ride removing many sticks that had 'fallen' on some of the tracks.

3 ribs - That would explain his soreness towards the end of the ride. Hope he recovers soon.

Ohhh bad times for Tim. I'll be along on my niche geared FS provided some winter tyre wrestling goes well.

I'm going to have to duck out again. Been diagnosed with a herniated disk. ๐Ÿ™

Could be off the bike for a while.

All Ikea's fault!

**** me, this is meant to be an easy ride.

So far we have a broken hand with a new plate fitted, three broken ribs and a herniated disk!

Anyway, none of those injuries are me so the ride goes on!!

I hope the casualties all get better soon.

I should be there. Was hoping to be riding a newly converted Giant Anthem SS but the parts haven't turned up yet.

Hope you has a good one tonight, I went out in QECP last night with a bunch from Kingley Vale forum. Went OTB and hugged a tree, tore some back muscles and can hardly move now....

FieldMarshall - It is a special curse.

So far I have killed / injured / incapacitated 4 of the 10-12 people who have ridden with me but only one of those 4 incidents happened while on one of my rides. The rest happened when they weren't riding with me.

Come join the Thursday night ride or you will ALL DIE HORRIBLY!!!
