That was quite an event considering the foul weather again forgive the writing from Jay dyslexia and tiredness don’t mix he meant I with a big I 😎

loved the vibe watching and you all did an awesome job and the organisers 👏🏻

It was fab I was the slow girl on the singlespeed and some really friendly racers were great letting me know they were passing, although one twerp did swear at me on sponge bob!
Well done to all that rode it I enjoyed the four hours!

Took friend of mine about a year to get pedalling again, it depends on extent of fractures and surgical fixation I wish him the best

Really enjoyed it apologies to all of you who I slowed up I was the gal on the bamboo bike….was chuffed to have improved my previous efforts! Great course and cheers to all who passed me safely.My only one quibble was the toilet situation was rubbish for solo pits!

They look amazing will look into that thank you!

cheers fuzzy I saw that option but nearly choked at the price will defo look at bont though cheers

Not sure how i feel about this….I do like the freedom of cutting in via Barrossa aqnd riding anywhere, however, a lot of riders are new to this and do not have the skill to look up on the two way trails causing a lot of stop starting so maybe one way is safer??!
i agree with gee that the top of surrey hill is ruined I used to love riding it but frankly avoided it on Sunday as it looked horrendously messy and torn up, a bit of work is desperately needed there, but I’m not sure they will be interested in fixing it…

really enjoyed it solo and thanks to everyone who encouraged me as they zoomed past, gr8 music too, did my 8 laps and have defo got the buzz back after years of metal knees and being critically ill when pregnant, not sure what my little one will think about the trailer doing some enduro training lol!! The girls who cheered at olympic ridge were really fab and its nice to do an event where u can ride at your own pace, well done Gorrick gr8 course too!!

sounds great, my family are all in ayrshire so whenever I come up from down in england tend to have to use 7staines would be good to do some ayrshire ridin, good luck!!

cheers guys piccies will b up tomorrow!!

Swinley clearly dont want riding on there considering they have banned trail maintenance….A rigid SS is clearly the minimalist way to go there especially in the winter 😆

CG knows my feeling on the situation, I think we are all fighting a losing battle as clearly the crown estate do not value or care about the mtb potential at swinley. They don't even close trails to allow repair nowadays so like I said no win situation, bear in mind we are extremely lucky in this area as there are masses of other trails in the surrey hants borders to ride that are just as good as swinley and a quarter as busy!! My attitutude is that I rarely ride swinley now as lots to ride elsewhere!!

I have the wingnut and have old back fractures they are amazing…

Onion put up a chaps rear passage by himself and we had to keep a straight face when a surgeon described the procedure to his wife as an onionectomy I never found that operation description in the training I recieved ho ho ho

CG hopefully as long as I'm not working I will be there…and I can offer to sweep the chilled out group…

oooh er, I didn't offer to show my ahem bruises strictly limited to my hubbie :0

ha ha well I'm not much to look at you should see the size of my bruises in my inner thights they are huge 😳
Was on very steep stuff and did well but I need a gravity seat post defo for scottie i think…

CG i think you defo have a few admirers there anything u want to share…

Cheer Mr and Mrs Poddy and nice to meet you all i even discovered some new trails on my regular haunts… Gayle

Mark webber yum, I even saw him in his cycling garb racing last year at AYTE!!!

The charge saddles are very ladies friendly for a budget, i would also recommend wtb do some thinner saddles at the more expensive price range

well done, i have done it too, strange feeling having no job lined up yet, luckily i am in an economy where there is temp jobs – nursing
but it feels like a massive load has been lifted off my shoulders!

did u have a good hol? I have got the virus from hell lost my voice etc, such a shame as I have gone from mass mileage and conquering the wall etc to nowt…. Have lost my voice and feel v unfit so baggins will have a quiet one with me today, we must do a weekday ride together soon, off to brechfa and afan this weekend bring on the rocks n shore 😀

I have tiny girlie hands I guess you learn to cope, however by going for a womens specific bike (which I was never convinced about) everything was added specifically for a short recah

very nice CG I hope your son enjoys it, where have u been have the trolls been dumped 😆 cos if u get a steel steed you have to bring it to show us…

storming effort guys, and well done to pants for a great event

I second peter poddy, they are the most gracious, polite and respectful people who give everything to our country and they work damn hard even when they leave the forces I am so pleased, some of the oiks in the area we all live could learn from them…

CG up for a beer race thats about as far as I will get???

marsden many apologies life’s been a bit rubbish, am away for two weeks once I’m back will get you a weight… loosing it thanks to stress not neccessarily a bad thing 🙂

I would second CG they will defo manage the drinking bit, as for me I will drink and heckle my fellow trolls, I have informed the head troll who is sitting next to me at home!!!

CG – hate to tell you but you missed out on bluebells on my 27 miler on sat via caesars and tunnel hill…. We saw loads, oh and a stoat (don’t ask!!) and a hawk!!!

chappy shecycles went as was covered by magilicia, they pulled the plug, I spoke to Cinnamon Girl who told me of your plight as i’m on the larger side, she has my email if you need it
Gayle

awww juan i thought we were great dancers,maybe its the drink talking!!!

what a great day mr and mrs poddy looked pleased as punch, and the bikers took over the bar and dancefloor all evening cheers!!!

the isle of arran just a nhop on the ferry from addrossan

really good, to be fair you needed to watch the first to get the ending of the second, best thing on TV really dark and twisted!

sorry will have my weight for you next week have had a nightmare few weeks, but have actually done my first short mtb ride after the knee replacement 😀

altura 3/4 womens are value for money and charge saddles cheap but effective

blimey lads, I only asked about riding, hear the politics everytime I mention my mother is Israeli… rude boy I will have a lovely time thank you, soda, sorry but I really don’t want a debate about the rights and wrongs, have heard it all my life, have had an awful couple of years and have just had a new knee put in so sorry to be grumpy but just wanted to look forward to a break!!

yeh cheers project, have been there before but only started cycling just before my last visit I agree a very friendly place to brits!!
