    We’re back to the place where it all began.

    No big climbs this week but plenty of singletrack action with some berms and jumps (for the brave) thrown in.

    Only if we completely ignore the blue ‘trails’ will I be there. Had a totally pointless attempt at removing all my skin riding around them last night. The red is ducked as well.

    The red trails are (not)maintened by http://www.ncagb.co.uk/ should anyone wish to make contact. We’ll give them a miss is they are knackered.

    The second jump (tourettes leap) is past the point where it is safe now.

    I’ll be avoiding tourettes leap like the shoulder destroying plague that it is!

    FWIW, all the not trail center trails are fine…

    sorry, but that’s cobblers.

    Compared to some of the stuff we’ve been riding recently I can’t see Philips being any worse.

    Meanwhile… back to the OP.

    Is anyone playing out on Monday?

    My Mrs has requisitioned Monday night to go out on the p*ss with her mates so sadly I’ll be missing this one 👿

    Indeed it is. I’ve put a repeating appointment in her Google calendar for Monday nights saying ‘PUB RIDE’. I did protest at this one but she said something along the lines of ‘You’ve been out on your bloody bike every night this week and you’ve just had a new one delivered so don’t dare complain!’. I didn’t argue.

    You want to put a stop to that Daz! Then again…. new bike? Out every night? How the hell have you wangled that?

    dontdropthesoap – Fancy riding over?

    My wife recently suggested that she should attend her Acid Zumba class on a Monday and that I should arrange to play out with my “little friends” on another night.

    I did this look…

    and she changed her mind.

    Result.

    I’m definitely not coming or building up an old Chameleon for this.

    anyone riding up from town? I don’t know the way by the way 😀

    I’d probably head up after work and have a play for an hour or so before hand

    I didn’t say no climbs. There will be some climbs, but nothing like in recent weeks.

    Hora – if you’re building up another Chameleon, I think I’ve got the perfect ride for you over in Tod. You’ll love it! Ideal territory for that particular bike. Trust me 😀

    Good grief. Did you get that picture off Operation Yew Tree’s website?

    The 21st is my wedding anniversary, so we will be doing something nice. Not bikes then

    Aaaaaaaand I’ve broken my arm (that’s right in time for stag and wedding)

    Phillips park and the red runs are running fine, have a good one

    Harry – Claire’s just texted. She’ll turn up if you get her a pint and some pork scratching a in in the pub afterwards. I didn’t mention the whole Acid Zumba thing. Thought it best

    If Claire’s going to be there I’m going to wear my lucky undies.

    You need to MTFU. Contador did 20k with a broken leg. We never do more than that! 😉

    The bit after the style after San Marino. It was late and the darkness under the trees surprised me. Should have put lights on, but I was so close to the finish I didn’t bother – lesson learned.

    Feeling pretty sorry for myself at the mo.

    I can’t even imagine the flak that you’re getting from MRs 88 right now. As such i’ve deleted all the mean things I was going to say, glass boy.

    San Marino in the dark without lights?

    10/10 for style
    0/10 for good thinking

    Get well soon.

    I just didn’t realise how dark that bottom section got, but yea 10/10 for stupidity.

    Oh no 88, that’s very unfortunate. Although given the number of times you kept saying “I’m not allowed to get injured before the wedding’ I suspect it was destiny. Just tell Mrs 88 that it could’ve been much worse as you were going so fast you were lucky to get away with a broken arm. She’ll be so relieved that she’ll forget about the arm. Maybe.

    OOPS! Has she spoken to you yet? Or are you still just getting ‘THAT‘ look’?

    This morning I was rewatching this beaut: http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Chromag-Trail-Boss-video-2012.html

    That Chameleon would look nice in Prestwich.

    Yeah… like THEY think like that.

    That tactic is likely to result in the other arm getting broken too.

    She’s holding back pretty well to be honest. I’ve had a few ‘stop riding like a dick head’ and even a ‘well you might as well sell your bike, your not going keep riding it now, are you?’. Ive tried “it could be worse”, that doesn’t seem to help….

    Cast will be off for the wedding, so hopefully no issues.

    I might come along. Just figuring out how to get my bike there.

    My car is in for a service and will be in a small courtesy car.

    Maybe my bike in bits in a travel bag in the boot?
