[#492299]

Hi,
I'm doing the Enduro 6 this weekend and am in need of a riding partner due to crash injury to my mate (he's broken himself).
I don't think I need any payment for the entry as far as I know.
Any chance of hooking up with someone?
Cheers,
SP

Yo, I wanted to ride as a pair, but entered solo after I couldn't find a partner 🙁 . If I can change to a pair I'd ride with you!?

0091paddy.....if you can ride with shropshirepoacher in a pair (presumably he and his mate entered as a pair), then I would be interested in taking your 'solo' slot?? I missed out on registering.

I will happily pay you for the entry place?

0091paddy and stumpy01 - This all sounds like a great solution 🙂

Do you want to say its a done deal?

I'm up for it, but..we will need confirmation from the organiser. Anyone want to give him a call? Afraid I can't at the mo.

Oh, and if this doesn't work out, then shropshirepoacher you could ride solo?

And stumpy01, I'm pretty sure they are taking entries on the day.

Think I should find time to call or mail. I don't think it'll be a problem sorting it out as I've swapped riders on 24hr and 12hr teams about before.

Could ride solo but I'm just coming back after an illness and I need to use that excuse so I don't make myself suffer too much 😉

I don't mid calling. I spoke to someone from velosupport the other day about entering (I was about to post the cheque) and they said it was fully booked.
He said I could turn up on the day & see if there were any no-shows, but I didn't fancy a 2hr drive just on the off-chance of a cycle!

I'll give them a bell now...

JUST RANG THEM.....apparently it's no problem, but they need your details (and mine) so they can swap it all about. I have added my e-mail address to my profile. If you could e-mail me over your details (and any specifics like race/team numbers for your entries) then i can call them back and get it swapped over.
Click on -member next to my name for my e-mail address.....

0091paddy, I can either send you a cheque or do a direct bank transfer or something??

mail received from 0091paddy.....just waiting on one from SP to come through and will then call them up.

0091paddy, I am assuming that your entry was just for the enduro and not the TT or the 10k run?!

WAHOO!! Just spoken to the lovely lady at Pro Velo.....she has swapped it around so I am now riding in 0091paddys solo spot and 0091paddy & SP are riding as a pair.

They had just received your e-mail SP......

I guess all that is left is for me to get some cash over to 0091paddy - let me know how you want me to sort that......
and for you two to work out a way to hook up.

Look out for an 01 red/black stumpjumper being ridden erratically & slowly, or a Grey 03 Seat Ibiza in the car park.....come and say hello. I have been known to bring cake to races with me!

A P reg 106 in Red. But I will probably be on my bike, as I only live down the road - silver/titanium(colour!) Boardman, with white grips! haha.

Ciao

That's all great.
I might have a Gary Fisher 'easy-up' with me so that makes things a bit easier on the finding each other front. It'll go in the pits if there's enough space.
