So how many are riding this Saturday so far?

Me and two buddies will be along. I will be on a gold Giant Reign X and answer to "Daim", "Damian" or "Oi!"

Sounds like it's going to get busy 🙂

I think that Sherwood Pines may introduce a 'congestion charge' after this weekend.

I feel sorry for any poor sod thats on a bike but not involved in this meet - they'll be wondering whats going on!

///
just thought of a collective term for a group of mountain bikers - 'a whinge'

I think I've got a pass out so I'll be there but it has rained and it may rain again on Thursday. It will give you a chance to explain how everything is perfect Gravy.

Its not that I dislike the pines, it was superb last summer.

It rained all summer, except the 2 weeks I was in the Alps, 😕
Abductee, I am of the same opinion of most of the bikers and of course your self. So much more could have been done when Clixbys were there. I will explain.

I'll be wearing a red rose!

I won't be, but I'm sure that I'll be sporting a red face as I'm rather unfit at the moment!

I've fixed my car now, so there's nothing standing between me and getting out on the bike now though.

can't miss it once you're in there, it's one of the buildings in the main area. I'll be in a red top.

This is me in my exact garb for Saturday

its looking like a good turnout for saturday, should be a good day, I was in the pines tonight and it was mostly dry with only the most die hard muddy sections refusing to dry out totally.
