Why don't people just get out and ride? "What tyre for this place ", "what are the conditions like in that place..."
Is self reliance a thing of the past? Why can't you just turn up, ride as best you can and have a fun time!
Sounds like something you'd find on the side of a magazine. People do get out and ride, surely?
Where would the fun be in that? 😉
riding bikes stinks.End of.
they do, somepeople like to talk about riding in the spaces between rides.
I've managed to lose my post. My new keyboard is REALLY messing me. I don't know it properly as yet. I'm off now, sorry
Mountain biking is more than just riding for some people. I have free time but it is rarely long enough to get kitted out, and go for a ride, so I fill the time with other bike related stuff that can be done in under an hour. In fact in the 2009 I probably spent more time in the workshop fixing/building/fettling bikes than I did riding them. But I enjoy that almost as much.
Hey Ambrose
Happy New Year!
how was the curry?
sorry to have missed it 🙁
we'll have to organise a self relience ride with the usual crew?
mud/rivers/caves/potholes/blowholes/bothies/snow/ice/rain/mechanicals/nightride/beer/homebrew/pignuts/calvados the works!!
No calvados thanks Pete. And Moel Prysgau has been gutted. I'll introduce you to somewhere else instead. Happy New year my friend 🙂

Just fixed that for you.
i ride as much as i can but this week im missing the skin all the way down my left leg where i crashed monday on some ice so my missus wont let me ride til sunday as she said i need to give it "some healing time" i know made me laugh too healing time 😆
full time job two kids under three cuts my riding time down! Still in a few years they wont want to talk to me except to ask for a lift and some money!! So I'll make the most of it now!! oldist is now starting his like-a-bike now though and is picking it up fast so soon will be able to take them both out!! 😀
We ask because a ruined ride might be avoided and a day saved in another lcoation. Great surviving a icy/snowbound ride. An achievement however if you can ride that day on some lovely singletrack instead- why not? 🙂
