[Closed] Why don't people just get out and ride?
Why don't people just get out and ride? "What tyre for this place ", "what are the conditions like in that place..."
Is self reliance a thing of the past? Why can't you just turn up, ride as best you can and have a fun time!
Sounds like something you'd find on the side of a magazine. People do get out and ride, surely?
Where would the fun be in that? 😉
riding bikes stinks.End of.
they do, somepeople like to talk about riding in the spaces between rides.
I've managed to lose my post. My new keyboard is REALLY messing me. I don't know it properly as yet. I'm off now, sorry
Mountain biking is more than just riding for some people. I have free time but it is rarely long enough to get kitted out, and go for a ride, so I fill the time with other bike related stuff that can be done in under an hour. In fact in the 2009 I probably spent more time in the workshop fixing/building/fettling bikes than I did riding them. But I enjoy that almost as much.
Hey Ambrose
Happy New Year!
how was the curry?
sorry to have missed it 🙁
we'll have to organise a self relience ride with the usual crew?
mud/rivers/caves/potholes/blowholes/bothies/snow/ice/rain/mechanicals/nightride/beer/homebrew/pignuts/calvados the works!!
No calvados thanks Pete. And Moel Prysgau has been gutted. I'll introduce you to somewhere else instead. Happy New year my friend 🙂

Just fixed that for you.
i ride as much as i can but this week im missing the skin all the way down my left leg where i crashed monday on some ice so my missus wont let me ride til sunday as she said i need to give it "some healing time" i know made me laugh too healing time 😆
full time job two kids under three cuts my riding time down! Still in a few years they wont want to talk to me except to ask for a lift and some money!! So I'll make the most of it now!! oldist is now starting his like-a-bike now though and is picking it up fast so soon will be able to take them both out!! 😀
We ask because a ruined ride might be avoided and a day saved in another lcoation. Great surviving a icy/snowbound ride. An achievement however if you can ride that day on some lovely singletrack instead- why not? 🙂
