[Closed] What's the conditions like at Cannock today

It was splendid on Thursday night but I suspect it will be sheet ice on the main paths tomorrow morning, when I'm there.

Yes it'll be horrible Tollah, Tazzy and Cheesy will be there.

yeh but only I will be coming back stu 😉

Got your shovel and baseball bat then tazz?

You'll have to dig a ****ing big hole to get tollah in.

Hope it's not to bad, as we've now arranged to ride Cannock Sunday, it's now raining just outside Wolverhampton, fingers crossed it does'nt freeze.

You'll have to dig a ****ing big hole to get tollah in.

there's quite a few disused mine shafts....it'll be reet 😆

He'll never fit down a mine shaft without a few feet pushing him.

without a few feet pushing him.

It'll be too cold to get my chap out I'll have to use a log or something 😀

I said feet not millimeters. 🙄

sorry stu, my frontage doesn't have the impressive girth of yours, although I understand you have to be rather flacid for grip in muddy furrows 😯

Girth shmirth.

As all the girls know it's the speed of the piston that counts.

Tazz your sheep has rather long legs.

it's at a gentleman's height so i dont need to bend over to make love to it

will there be banjos ...and squeeeeling

And you've also employed the invisible man to film you enjoying a bit of "welsh" love.

the only squealing will be me......like a girl.......on anything technical 😀

Yawn........

the tollah will be mostly sleeping

Tazz. He always looks like he's sleeping while he's riding.

Riding with you lot it's hard to stay awake.

well if you're going to be like that about it

*flounces off in a huff, because the truth hurts*

tazz.

You have to understand that when you're as far behind as Tollah is on the trail it might become a bit boring.

😀

you lot are awful.....but I like you

No you just tollerate us because no one else will be your friend. 😆

So, what are the fekin trails like anyhoo? Muddy? Buff? Frozen?

have been snowy and frozen and silly fast in places, raining/sleeting so will probably be silly fast in places followed by "nichewhores on ice"

Sorry for the slight hijack, but does anyone know that conditions are like at Cannock? Thinking of dropping by on Monday.

Onzadog. **** off with your sensible questions we're busy taking the pish out of each other. 😆

by monday it's likely to be getting rock hard as the forcast has given -2 as the top temp so it should be super quick

right I'm for a beer or lots, i need to make sure I vomit at every stop/opportunity like someone else we know 😀

Well i'm not coming unless we're going to bump into xckeith and his fake tipon accent.

cheers Stu 😳

Feel free to join in. 😆

I'm not going to puke tomorrow, I'm back on my medication so more likely to s****e myself :-@

*Sets GoPro to shite mode and puts brown filter on lense*

I'm not going to puke tomorrow, I'm back on my medication so more likely to s****e myself

Oh joy.

Stoo,do you believe everything anyone tells you,I'm propper posh, me.

it will be dry and fast tomorrow,so big gearz and summer tyres boyz !

I went quite early and the condition of the snow changed every half hour or so. The mel****er on top of smooth ice was a bit treacherous. We wanted to cross one fire road to get to the caff but it was so icy we didn't dare. We went another way instead.

All of the singletrack through the trees was excellent. The best way from the stepping stones, we found, was to ride up the stream itself.

The manmade stuff was virtually unrideable. Had a nice 3 hours off piste instead though.

cheers to xcKeith for a quick nip round his newly found cheeky stuff. Loved it will be back there again. 😀

Aye, cheers to Keith&co for the cheevky stuffcand to Tazzy for keeping us going through near on 20miles of icey and snowy trails.

Great day out pics up later once I'm cleansed and fed

a fat front bike would have been fantastic, It would have been the perfect bike for a lot of that....

That's very true mate, shame we didn't have one with us!

yep,perfick conditions,shame we only had spindly ickle tyres on the fronts,Phat would of definately been ideal tho........

Nice to meet up with you chaps.MD flapjack and hot chocky,mmmmmmmmmmm!

Had a quick ride round the Dog earlier with Rusty Shackleford from here, was proper icy in most places. I managed to wobble round the majority of it singlespeed though, did better than I thought I would given the slippy ground 😀 Oh and I came back with a shiny new Cotic BFe frame which is almost built up - feeling great so far!

Keef- the tollah forgot to give me your number I'll have words with the absent minded old fool and drop you a txt next time I'm out

good plan Taz.

alternatively,
my email is in my profile,cut out the middle(woksmuggler)man 😉

Hiya tom...I'm not convinced we were quick

haha I guess not, just felt quick compared to the full monkey loop 🙂

Not nearly enough gears on todays ride I thought.... 8)

Did some riders turn up without any gears at all then?

One gear per rider is more than enough isn't it. 😉

Dunno most the time they were behind me so couldn't tell..... 8)

There seemed to be no one with too many gears once Tazzy took us off into the bush all alone!
