any vids or pics, popping up with a mate, i'll be the little hobbit fussing about at the top of anything difficult…..

Check out linky at

mountainbikerides.co.uk

For some helmet cam footage of Follow the Dog route.

Plus there's a load of pics in the photos section (can't get link to work but the site is easy to navigate)

EDIT: They're under the 'photographs/Local rides/cannock chase' section

Me too…tho have been before 'pre-monkey'! Do a search as there were some pretty useful vids of the new stuff a week or two ago

cheers for the offer duc, but i am designated driver with me and a mate i think, we're aiming to arrive about 10am sat morning

i'll be on an enigma ht with far too much hope colour cordination, say howdi if you see us?

edit

sorry andy! didnt recognise your login, how are you doing? are you taking the softtail?

I am indeed – contrary to popular belief there is no need for a downhill rig and armour at Cannock on the Birches valley side 😆 although I've not ridden the Monkey yet.
(This is probably the point where I get shot down in flames)

No, but what you really do need is a stupid clown bike with a big gay wheel at the front and little wheel at the back and just 1 gay gear. Or an 8inch All-Mountain Rig and full facer.

Awww no does that mean I have the wrong bike?
Will I not be ok with my clown bike with 2 big gay wheels and a funny softail thingy ?
(and don't start about permits!)

You'll be needing a permit.

Glad to hear everyone is going Saturday… I'm going to play on the Monkey Trail for the first time on Sunday morning…

:o)

I'm not sure I'm truly going Saturday though – the only way I could get a pass agreed was if I left the house before 6 am to get there.

Thats closer to Friday night riding!
