Nice one chaps. I am now broken
From my flat -
Out for 5 hrs
34 miles.
3hrs 30 riding time,
9.5mph average
Max 43.5mph 🙂 Who needs a big ring 🙂
- perhaps a tadge ambitious for a wednesday night. 9+ mph average is fastish with all that climbing- the fastest we have done.

you want to make sure you have the wheel size correct in your wee computator thingy...
You mean I don't have 36 inch wheels?
The wheel size is right, it's just that it counts in Lilliputian miles.
Cracking outing chaps.
Good to meet some new folks.
Just set the alarm clock for 5am.... WTF!
Hopefully see you next week!
Thomo.
Time does, indeed, fly when you're drinking rum, or something.. Always seems like I get in, look at the clock and have a 'WTF!' moment too, in a good way, 'natch!
A few from the evening -

thanks colin, and kit for link 😮
21! And I thought it was my popularity drawing in the high numbers.... 😮
Illegal riding? 😮
Que?
At the sides of exponential hill.
I would have thought you would know better than to bandy around the word [i]illegal[/i] when it clearly is not against any law.
Arguably it would be against the code of conduct for reasonable access under the land reform act but given how dry it was I doubt that as well.
But there's signs and everyfink!
accordingly to bruce (coastkid) the verges were not well enough maintained to be counted as verges.
good ride and nice to put faces to names 🙂

But there's signs and everyfink!
It's OK Al, - the signs are at only the bottom. I always assumed that was to stop folk riding up and thereby spoiling a good descent.
Didn't we conclude last night that is was to keep folk off the cut verge directly adjacent to the road, i.e. to stop people driving on the grass? Either way, there's been little erosion of those bits of singletrack in the years I've been riding them.
Despite several setbacks last night I had a fantastic time, the trails are riding great at the moment. Sorry for the hold ups with all the flat tyres and cheers everyone who pitched in. Next week I'm bringing seven spare tubes and pumping my tyres up to 90. 🙂
George / kiwi joe ... here's the 1 y.o. snowboarding i was talking about last night
just waiting on youtube uploading then post some movie action... 😮
