on the river tomorrow.
cake you say ?
what else is worth racing DH for....
frippet ?
in Tavi? pfft! rather you than me.
Princetown tomorrow .
I'm suffering from inspiration fatigue. I used it all up here........

Come over to the darkside and ride the Dartmoor Devil from Bovey this Sunday 😉
How about Haldon forest, I'm reliabably informed that up there is the best descent in the SW 😉 which has got to be better than some manicured trail centre 😥
Le Singe on a roadbike, i've never seen a waxed chimp before 😉
I'm about so let me know if inspiration hits you.
Del - are you in Norway still or about for a beer later?

You don't wax monkeys, you pluck 'em.
I'll def be riding somewhere Sunday but I really don't know where, poss Q's, poss Burrator, poss E D-mo ?.
Knottie, you might want to avoid Princetown on Saturday. Check the Met Office.
Has anyone been up over the moor during the last few days?
We've had a lot of rain this week over my side, and as TM suggests, more to come.
Just returned from torquay and it's getting darker by the minute - rain cloud not night time!
any ideas how it's looking underfoot?
Q
Squelchy on the plateau would be my guess. Steep bits or rocky bits only this weekend. All though in fairness, they're the bestest bits anyway 8)
There's a new permitted b/w up from Stepp's br., only a 6mile loop, but could be part of the Drogo loop. It's stony track so should hold up under this current wet bit.
TM/Knottie - have you found it yet?
Q
The permitted BW has been around for a year or so and like most places, the best tech is off piste there.
TM,
If the worst comes to the worst, there is always your future commute with the other trails added in?
Sorted your lunchtime Net connection then?
True Jim, but hopefully we'll be able to do something a little more epic.
Lunch/net - condition green.
Next job: Find the new bosses porn folder and hack the payroll 😉
Yeah, maybe a little more hardcore sub max for Sunday. How about a whole day in the Cleave? Everything including back to front, ups as downs, never leaving the valley?
Shinythings:
Ahhh.... haven't been around there for about that time!
I have noticed a few tyre marks, but not many, so wasn't sure how many people had discovered it, I only happened on it by accident where it comes out on the Gurt Big Hill at clifford.
cheers
Q
You can F Off if you think im wasting a day riding up Bridge too Far...
wimp, that's a climb waiting to be dusted.
Weather does look good on Sunday 😆
Si, Do you kiss your mum with that mouth?
As Si is too wimpy to go up BTF I wonder if going via the Foxworthy road would work.
If you include the singleybob trail from the bridge in reverse and Plague I reckon you would have 5-6 quality downs.
Yeah F Me lets ride up Bowermans and Smallacombe and Hound Torr Traverse...
And Id kiss you with it Shinythings
Only if you've flossed.
What's your idea for sunny but muddy?
Nobody's inspiring at the mo.
The ususal tbh as its wet Leon/Smallacombe, Bowermans, B2F and then the Cleave and Nutcracker
still not too inspired 🙁
well semi slick on the rear and wet conditions on B2F sounds drifting aceness to me.
B2F will be a double nappy job on Sunday, I tell thee 😯
Would this be a good time to try my gimp suit? 'cos it's quite wet out there.
Workshop day today, so gonna fit a Sponson(?) to the 46 in between doing a Cycleguy job 🙂
As it's been pissing down for the last few days (although forecast is for dry from lunchtime today), how about Woodbury or East Exmoor/Quantocks?
There's a link to the Cycleguy website in the Denbury Diary this month. Hopefully, that might send a little business your way Jim 8)
SM, Q's might be a Sunday option, don't really like Exmoor and I've ridden Woodbury to death over the years 😥
TM, That's nice of them 😀 (Note to self for 10th time; must correct the designers crap spelling)
Woodbury's out 'cos I only have 10 sets of pads spare! (it's gritty).
