Jealous….. Did both islands in a 3 week rush in 2006. Thoroughly recommend Magic Bus and the South Island.

Can’t make it again this week. My weekly excuse is now car trouble, someone else will have to fight the trail demons this time.

For a mini-series Generation Kill is outstanding.

As for others; The Wire, The Shield, The Unit, Entourage, Life, Breaking Bad and for a wild one – It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

I’m returning after a self-imposed sabbatical.

Yeah but I need a specific one for the dry dusty roads of Lordsavenue.

I’m not visiting Lordswood again until they rebuild some big jumps for me. Can’t believe Lordshore got KO’d.

Kind regards from me and massive props for excellent customer service in the past.

Bits and pieces near Cannon Hill woods in Colehill and between St. Michaels School and the Rectory (this is now a proper bike park I believe). Delph Woods in Poole has a good reputation but not been down myself.

Brilliant thanks Fishbone. Regards.

Man down here, will be back for sho next week. I can’t wait to try the new North Shore park in LW.

Can’t make it tonight.. off to France.

Depends what type of uni you are after; research or teaching based, elite sport or sport for all. If you’re an elite level athlete it’s worth getting in touch with the sponsorship programs to see what support, help and pedigree they can offer. They vary a lot!

So many options, such an exciting time. Good luck.

I bought an Avanti Giro in 2005 in Australia for $500AUD and it rides well today. Changed BB, grip tape and brake cables… Brilliant.

I’m trying to think up new jokes, if I think of one I’ll join the ride…

Fibreflare.

All the best Nick, get well soon. Your car is waiting!

Sorry, can’t make it tonight. Enjoy the mini coffees and gitanes without me.

+1 for Giro Athlon

+1 for Endura Thermolite winter biblongs. Their 3/4 are brilliant for most conditions when the Thermolite’s are too much.

Quite simply; Yes.

I’ll pop along, 7:30pm I hear you say…

I’m there, with my Rapha hat…. now they sponsor Team Sky I’m burning my stuff as they’ve gone mainstream.

Don’t forget your chapeau…

I’m coming; full sus, no full face, summer tyres and squealing brakes.

I will die.

Rich answer = ‘definitely’ to everything.

Sorry can’t make tonight as other half’s birthday and I’d better not push it! Also, get ready for Chumba no.2 winter bike build coming along in the next couple of months.

I’ll be there.

Sorry gents, saw the sorry state of my bike and decided against it. I’ll be there next week, enjoy the ride.

I’ll be there

Havianas are the ultimate in comfort and length of life. Got 2 pairs for £20 in 2006 and still going strong – >> IgaPost[/url]

I’ll be there.

Gutted that I can’t make it for the grand unveiling of the Ibis. I’m off to Landon to watch the swimming, exciting times. Back for next week.

I’ll be there with a pal to celebrate the dry trails….

I’ve just moved to Highcliffe and am looking for new areas to ride as normally ride Lordswood in Southampton.

There’s the Avon Tyrrell bike park near Sopley and also Moors Valley Country Park trail centre run.

Great for road riding but there’s loads of land around for xc but not sure where I’d say to go and look.

I’ve bailed, lack of preparation and lack of mental mettle.

I should be there provided it’s no downpour, only planned for some summer riding… should have known.

I’ll be there but will be underbiked for Lordswood compared to Neil’s offering last week.

I’ll be there hopefully if I get my wheel back from the fixers.

Not gonna make it this week. I’ll be along next week. FM – I’ll ping you some money via online if you email me the details.

Would love to but am on a trip as usual…
