I will be there.

I would agree with going on a skills course, it is definitely something i will be looking to do as i regularly feel that i will crash and die on even the smallest drop off!

10am on the 28th is good for me, email me at johnbpowley@aim.com regarding the meeting place.

Hopefully going out on the night ride on monday the 27th also provided people are still going that is!

I could be up for a ride on tuesday 28th, its a good place to go and just bumble about and explore.

Excellent ride out on monday, thanks for making me welcome!
Look forward to the next one.

Think yourselves lucky they know you at all!
I have just tried to track mine but they have no record of either my order number or my email address, nice!

Just around delamere for a few hours this morning, good fun and didn`t have to wash the bike for once!

Yeah, my mtb is 17″/43cm and my road bike is 58cm, both fit me well.

Absolutely gutted that i have not been able to come along for the ride, still waiting for my light to turn up!!

Will be able to join you soon though and can`t wait.

None in cheshire and as much as i like the white stuff and cant wait to get out riding in it, i can wait until after the weekend as i have a monster job on the car to do outside, bad enough in the cold let alone lying in the snow aswell!

Just thought i might add what i thought. I go to delamere but like to do the trail centres aswell.
I love riding the singletrack and do try to put loops together etc, i know of a reasonable amount of the tracks but would love to know of more of them so am getting some lights together and will join in the monday evening mayhem.
In my opinion, the two things that would be of benefit would be a guide or a marked out loop (maybe markings that only the mtbers know about etc) and a bit of help on the really soggy bits, there is one bit around a fence that i know of that is particularly bad that needs some sort of help, it was soggy in the summer so god knows what it is like now as i try to avoid it.
These two items would be of help i think without going to the extremes of hard surfacing routes etc.
I would be more than willing to help with anything, i am only down the road and know delamere pretty well from growing up in a nearby village.

Thanks for the replies, i have one of these on its way, will it be good enough? I will be able to make it most mondays provided my lights are good enough!!

Me too, maybe not tomorrow as y lights are pants and my new one hasnt arrived as of yet! What lights do you guys and gals run?

Where is the meeting point?

Whats this then? i only live down the road and have been thinking about night rides etc, can you tell me more and are we welcometo come along?

I have just checked and it is more like 4-5mm, sorry about that, my guesstimate was way out!!
I have flipped the wheel and it is the same.
What about filing a little metal out of where the axle sits on the forks to true it back up?

The wheel leans, as you sit on the bike it is to the left at the top and right at the bottom, you have to then lean the wheel back over approximately 8-10mm to get it straight.
I have tried another wheel and that sits the same.

They are 2009 forks but unused, it is strange that my manitou forks had the same issue though or is it more common than i think?
