well we're sojourning to Snowdon for the weekend so we'll all be knackered! Is the track going to be dry?

I could well be up for that. Not ridden in the peaks this summer. Which is a bloody disgrace as its only down't'road.

And I've blanked out the memory of HTN1. Though I'll be there to shout abuse at NBT

Hi Chris, I'd love to, but I've not got anything to ride....(starts to weep again).

Hopefully I should have a replacement built up within the next few weeks, so count me in for the next one.

Hi Mark, I know you very kindly offered and I'm sorry for not responding at the time.

I'm thinking of getting either a Ragley Blue Pig or a Cotic Soul as a replacement for the P7. I know you've ridden pretty much every bike there has ever been ๐Ÿ˜‰ , so have you any advice regarding those two choices?

I would've considered coming along now I am feeling a bit fitter, but am doing a biiig bike ride (for me!) on the two days before and I expect I won't be able to sit down on the Saturday, let alone sit on a bike. ๐Ÿ™
Have fun. ๐Ÿ™‚

Nay worries. Both very different I bet. I reckon you definitely need to test ride both.

Iain, you can happily borrow one of mine, in fact you can borrow the blue pig as a test ride if you like

If a Soul owner could bring along theirs? Then we could rename it the Iain Hayfield testride ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks for the offer Jules,

I tried the Blue Pig for size when I was at your place once. It felt really small - what size frame is it?

it's a 16", which is fine for me - you've got longer arms though don't you? Might be able to wangle an 18" mmmbop for you

Should be in for this. I'll bring my Soul so it'll be available for test ride. Its a large tho (19") but you'll get an idea.

Trying to re-arrange next weekend so we can attend.

It's local so if time is running out we could maybe take a shortcut home, then the rellies don't get upset.

Come out to play oldagedpredator - you could wear the old granny wig!

I deffo fancy this. I'm not the fittest at the mo' so a peaks pootle would be just what my recovering bad back needs.

Will be travelling from Stretford if anyone needs a lift.

Whereabouts in Stretford do you live? (obviously you can't give away your exact street online ๐Ÿ˜‰ but the next one? I live close to the Chinese chippy and Bargain booze on the main road.
