Guided Quantocks weekend anyone.

” horrible dust !”

Says a man who runs Larsens all year. Complaining about dry trails in England is bloody sacrilege man! 😆

Well that was a great day out . Just uploading todays pics(taps fingers on pc table) lots of Qs single track ,great company and a beer at lunch time .

cracking ride, with thanks to Sharki & Knottie.
WCA, Big Bike Bash is the same date as the Afan Monster, gonna have to wrestle with my concience which one to do.

Just checking – is it same time (9:30/1o:00) same place (Crowcombe Gate) tomorrow?

Ace day out I am pooped now though 😥

But I DID NOT FALL OFF TODAY so there is a result

Hope so Buzz. Hopster & I are aiming to be there for 10am.

Great ride and great company. thank you ever so much for organising this.

big bike bash is my working wkend. definately try and get there next year though.

Andy

maybe he’s on the way to or from the ditch @ Weacombe 😉

Must ….. resist….. comment….. on….. 3/4 flares. 😐

so how many were there to have fun in the rain?

Ahem , Andy wasnt the only person to try to run me down !

I’m a bit annoyed that I missed this event. Grrr, Oh well, next time eh?

Thanks for coming guys.
Round two tomorrow.
Buzz, 10 at cpg.
We’ll be heading over to triscombe for some dhlite, then some other built trails followed by the chimney.
Time then to drop a few early leavers off at cpg before the remainder, descend for a pub grub nom and more trails.

OK I’ll bring the fat bike

Thanks for today sharki. I’ll certainly be returning to the Qs again when it’s drier to do those dhlite trails faster and try a few more of the coombes. And hopefully without that headwind back to the car park. Ooof.

Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I couldn’t make today but shoulders are fecked after some of the Saturday descents.

Once more I learnt to embrace the slide and that sideways is as much fun as downwards some times.

I am now on a roll, one ride in a row without blood*, breakage or other injury!

*Okay they was some blood but ‘It was but a flesh wound’ so I don’t count it.

Few more pics from todays ride.

What is the expression about ” sex and travel”

X

BTW I looked just alot buff imho

see drugs do work 😉

NIce pics of today .

Well that was proper good that was. Loved it on Saturday; epic climbs, and wicked downhills. Seemed like hundreds of miles but was actually about what, 16 in total or something? 😆

Fantastic day’s riding, followed by a great night down the pub. Nice grub and beer, still don’t understand the rules of that billiards game, found Golden Retriever hairs in me mouth this morning, somebody who shall remain nameless but what rides an orange Orange Five and shares a name with a former Man U goalkeeper apparently fell asleep on’t bog. Excellent. And no Babylonian involvement- bonus! 🙂

I’ll deffo be coming again, but I might bring a bike what actually flippin works propply next time so that I can actually ride the trails and not end up losing control due to not being able to slow down sufficiently to control the bike then having a tantrum and lobbing the thing down the trail. 😳

Sharki is an excellent guide and ride leader, thanks mate, well appreciated.

At least the rain stayed off while you fixed it!

Thanks Sharki for organising it, will definately be fitter next time and my lad enjoyed it immensly…. Spent a few hours in A&E on Sunday afternoon as he had fallen and broken his wrist….and he didnt say a word!

i had grit in my crack, 3 day pants, entertained strange men in my tent, torrential rain, howling head winds, lay next to a 3 meter metal pole during a lightening storm, got hay blasted, rode testical shredding trails, got arse whipped by a chinese man, ate a deer and met weird cyber cyclists

it was great

i then got home to find a potential hobo stove sitting on my draining board

captaincarbonson – heal well

😀

Elf I now understand why my dog was a bit tramatised on sunday 👿

Heh! That pub mustuv bin covered in hair by the time we left! 😆

Lovely dog btw. 🙂

yea that was a bit embarresing tbh

Me and Jayne will definatly go back ace pub with superb grub

See ya next time it was good to meet up with you folks

Salad
