Nope, i think it was the rear suspension pivots making that rattling sound. Pro3 xc63 on dt 4.2 from the Hope ex display wheel sale for £125 🙂

I'm riding from home to the middle of Whaley, so it's still on GraemeJones' route, therefore i don't feel guilty. As hard as you lot try.

Adey, great stuff, we were wondering over the weekend if you;d seen the thread 😀

Hora, tempted by that wheel, got a matching front?

I'm also planning to come, although fighting of man flu at moment. Think I may have caught it from Hora after reading one of his posts.

You don't want any of Hora's diseases. They's things that drugs don't fix.

Anyway, tonight I shall try to write down just who is meant to be coming on this......

and for now share my latest (cheeky) video....

Fair enough popartpoem, the more the merrier. I think someone might need to let the pub know they might have a few more mountain bikers than normal.

nbt I wouldn't sell my front as its worn/old and it needs new bearings etc. When I find a cheapy King front wheel I'd keep the front hope as a spare.

Nice one! Jane will be delighted

blimey... knocking on for nearly 40 people!!

Based on previous lists of promised attendees versus actual turner-uppers (as it were) I expect to see around 20 to 24 🙂

weather's a bit manic at the moment, it was raining on and off all day yesterday - proper stair rods at one point, and Trio up in North Manchester reported heavy hail - but when I rode home from work at 4pm it was beautiful blue skies, I went the long way home and the trails were more or less dry. fab stuff.

Whichever pub it is they stand to see quite an upturn in Sunday revenues - though, i'll be driving....

Speaking of pubs - mintimperial and I went out on a 'training' ride last night 😉 (+Ben and Andy, but they're not joining in on Sunday...)

Just checking we got the balance right
15 mins meeting and faffing.
1:40hrs and 8.5 miles riding
1:45hrs and 4 pints in the pub
🙂

Are you running this at a loss then Pook? Even if all 40-odd turn up that won't cover the guiding fee you promised me 😀

Or get there early.
