Name rings a bell kinda, but i know theres not an andy in the group

Thanks kayak. We are staying somewhere I believe. Yes definitely going for quick rolling tires and slime. I run an air shock at the min so not too heavy, set up isn’t great for the ride but around June I may get a bike through work which will be a hard tail. Thanks for the info.

@ whathaveisaidnow

I will email you, sorry mate

Ok Keith Sound, well where do you live. I struggle to get far as I rely on mates who drive, I only have m/cycle license and no good for biking lol.
I have ridden ribbesford downhill in the winter, not since its started to dry out, i believe this is by the wyre forest.
We checked out sandwell yesterday, the new trail there is gonna be fantastic.

we’re doing it the 9th/ 10th August, train back courtesy of virgin, one of the team work for them.

I believe the organiser wanted 9 and thats what he has got so dont believe will be taking any more on. Sorry chap.
However if your local/ in wolves, we will be doing lots of training between now and then, with many canal rides. Not really my cup of tea, id rather be on the chase or llandegla, but need some distance in to prepare for this.
You’re welcome to come and ride,

cheers Guys. Really looking forward to it, defo not gonna be easy tho.

I rode from Wolverhampton yesterday and had a good ride round,

We played around jubilee woods, the track is looking great, will be better when bedded in, some of the table tops are in the wrong place, i.e when you cant get speed before it, or just after a slight incline, however I cant wait to go back when finished.

Theres quite a few natural bits around there that are good.
Also found what i believe to be the ‘hilltop decent’ very fast singletrack mahem haha.
The pump track looks good, but is fenced off. Looks complete though so imagine will be riding in no time.

Sorry If im reviving an old thread, but no better thread for it.

9 of us are doing from Wolverhampton to London in August over 2 days.
All in aid of a local charity ‘Compton Hospice’

I’m debating wether to use my patriot 66 or wether to look at hardtail.
