STW Peaks Pootlers – February 13th

I have never understood that. If the job is done then tell the customer, you get paid quicker then!

i dont get it either. I will make sure i dont break it again before saturday. infact, i wont be riding it between getting the brake back and saturday, even though thats not how i broke it in the first place :/

I think I will rebuild the Blur4x for next week 🙂

good plan hora, though you will make me jealous- i still miss mine!

undecided myself; heart says take the new sovereign out for a spin, but my head says take the 5 cos it will be gentler with my post-op wimpiness!

slow rider, you could always bring both and i can make use of the one you dont use 😉 but only if your a medium 😆

i know it depends on conditions/mechanicals etc, but any idea of how long the ride will last?

i will be up in the Lees area for a family engagment on the Sunday and may be able to get away on the saturday, provided it is not all day.

lol sambob, bad luck im a large

giantjason I'd say 3.5-4hrs v.max. You'd be in your car by 2pm (or sat in the pub eating a giant burger).

damn it. im 5 11" and a bit, that almost big enough? or am i pushing my luck? im going to the betwys y coed bikeradar demo day anyway, so i can try a decent bike there. what bike though? im on a scott genius 2o at the moment 😀

Hardtail here too

Keep an eye on the midweek snow flurries. Is anyone up there on say Thursday pm that could update us?

I'll keep an eye out weatherwise

I get to see the peak twice a day, i can update and inform

just checked over the bike after the last ride… the chain goes crunch.

Nice maintainence routine there.

sambob what they got on offer? try a trek, they look good to me!

erm, to book online they have scott, norco, corratec, raleigh mtrax, diamondback, rose, red bull, lynskey and bionicon. im like a kid in a sweet shop 😆

I'm giving the bike a shakedown tomorrow night and ordering some pads ready. And tubes. Another expensive biking week ahead!

well i cant wait, its gonna be cold so wrap up 🙂

"I'd say 3.5-4hrs v.max"

How big is the group though? In a group of 4 (so less of a group faffage factor, but probably stopped a little more and a little more often), admitedly not that fit riders, but okay, have taken 6 hours before
It was a nice day though, maybe we weren't cold enough to want to get round fast enough

Ummmm I can't come 🙁

pads! nice one pook, need some spares for my new brakes

will why? You better have a good excuse soldier!

Girlfriend informed me yesterday that she has booked "a nice romantic weekend away"

🙄

To say i'm gutted doesn't do it justice!

Ah. Yes, Valentines weekend. good point.

A fair few will use this as a getout clause on the day 😉

Yeah but will, I'm presuming you will still get some riding in 😉

lyons. you'd forget the"things for the ladies pleasure" (edited), bottle of wine etc 😉

so we need name badges? dont think ill bother…ill be the one riding slowly, its a bit of a giveaway.

we don't need name badges. It's just for me really 'cos I'm rubbish with names.

And being called "Pook" for a four hour ride is a bit of a pain!

Yeh, annoying eh!

Hora – You really fdo have me figured out. I did forget a certain something once… Result was me running rounds the local pubs trying to find it in a hurry. Kind killed the mood.

I'm hoping i can still come, but not 100 percent… Gotta watch my spending at the moment…

crikey – for a moment there I thought you and Hora were planning a rendezvous chez le van!!!

"If Lyon's van's rockin', don't come knockin'"

😯

has anyone got any size 46 winter spd boots i could try out on the day?

i believe i have some diadora ones you can try, mail me
