Anyone about for a few hours pootling over the weekend?

Quick play in Robins wood, then over the fields to Milton, Foremark (via bastard road climb), Repton Scrubs, Bretby gallops (I swear that trench moves closer to my line each time I go), play in the quarry (shhhhhh, its a secret), race down bastard sandy climb, on to Ticknall then back arround the top singletrack in Robins Wood for several pints at the JT?

Riding style:
free'core XC jey'core'lite with added rad2theMAX skid'core and vertical roll in'core.

If anyone in a position of responsibility is reading I have absolutely no idea of any singletrack in Robins Wood, or that an old quary even exists in the local area.

depending on fannying and playtime in the woods I'd guess 3.5 hours? Just up for the weekend to pick up bits for a holliday in Wales you'll probably know the route better than me!

We've probably met before, do you ride with the Monday night group?

Whats best for you, Saturday or Sunday, weathers looking pretty horrible either way.
