Map is at beginning of this thread 🙂
I think DrP will have a gps of it. He kept going beep.
For thsoe in the know, I'll be organising a ride up my way in the Summer. July time I'm thinking. I won't be posting it on here, it'll be invite only because we start and finish (Probably with BBQ) at my house and I can't deal with/feed nearly 40 people, sorry!
Anybody who's interested drop me an email though 🙂
Missed out on the ride, but went camping in that part of the world with the missus instead, think we passed you in the midget heading West along the main road form Swanage to Corfe?
Yep, I remember seeing your car (green one, right?)! I actually did think to myself 'I wonder if that's that chap off STW with the MG?' cool car 8)
Indeedy, dark green with rubber bumpers and a particularly noisy exhaust 8)

And I suppose you think that's some Haribo in the bank for next time?
Poddy: you are photomeister!
Very good photo's PP.
I can even see daylight underneath my front wheel in one of them , about 1" worth mind.
Wow, loads of great photo's there, captures the day really well. Thanks again to the organisers and to thanks everyone that come along. Long may the dusty trails and fine weather continue.
@singletrackmind - thank you so much for fixing my puncture! And for the advice above - am on the case. I must have got another slow puncture on the rear wheel as when I got my bike out of the car in the morning it was flat... So got some mending to do!
@DrP - yep i did come over on my own, and thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome! Was a bit nervewracking to start with but i really enjoyed the day 🙂
What an incredibly handsome, and clearly talented Riding God. You wouldn't happen to have any other skills too, would you? Ooh, I dunno, say possibly in the food and drinks industry??

Our very own (adopted) Southern Shandy Drinking photographer has done another mighty fine job, well done Pete. 😀

Need any help? I know a man who is great at fixing punctures 😉

Hi
Going to do this route soon. Does anyone have a GPX or any other gps file I can have?
I'm pants at reading maps!
Col
Is it me or do Annabanana's forks look a bit soft? I know theres a step/drop there, but it seems a bit small for complete compression. If they were up in their travel a bit more, she might not have gone over like that.
Yes indeed I couldt make it either and would like a gpx if that's possible. As there's a few of us after one might be an idea for one of us to load one up to bikely or similar , assuming we can have one of course. Failing that I'll blame it on colin if we get lost this Saturday ( hi col!)
cheers (dan)

Lovely pics there PP!
DrP
Thanks DrP, much appreciated
I think Annas main problem was lack of speed. She was at walking pace when it happened. I'll put the video up if i can work out how to.
Thanks Dan! See you Saturday.
And thanks to DrP for the route.

Please don't! Seriously.
Have e-mailed you to ask for a link to the footage or the file if poss, but hotmail has crashed, not sure if you got it.
I want to see what I did wrong, but some things need to remain private, Rusty Trowel......
Ta.

Yep, it's bad form to take a video of a girl and then post it on the internet for everyone to critique... so I'm told... 😉
well, if they're that compressed over that bump and walking speed, they must be on the soft side, no?
Thanks Dr P much appreciated.
And aye, see you Saturday Col .
