got some from a hardwear shop… great…got 10 pins for 98p

wow im amazed that tennis ball hit the yellow bucket…. awsome…i wonder how many times they had to set it up before getting it acurate !..

yep i,ll go along with that ! a few weeks back i put rear organic pads in (big mistake) and quickley bought some sintered pads another week later…. sintered is the way to go !!!

i did contact them a while back, but they only make them for the male population of this world lol… same as i emailed Leisurelakesbikes.com as i saw some 'Hope' cycle shorts in the 'womens' section so i emailed them, but they said they had got in the wrong catagory and they dont make them for women…
ive looked in the shop at leisurelakes at the 'DH zip up long sleeve jersey' last summer and tried it on but the sleeves and body was abit too long… you see im only 5ft in height so a short body…. i thort the quality was pretty good when i saw it…but i guess it would go a bit clicky -(bobbly after a while ..maybe ?

thankyou stumpyjon..

Tony…. is 'cragg quarry' fairly close to 'Lee quarry' then ? i dont know where cragg quarry is? will this be signposted to the quarry ? whats the distance in the two quarrys… sorry if im being docile but i never heard of that cragg quarry ? lol and when is cragg quarry going to be 'up and running' ? will it be this year ? cheers for info…

what id like to know is how do you send a whippet back to his own bed ? he sneaks in everynite and curls up behind me.. he does keep me warm tho…lol

give her about 5 candy flosses to take to bed every nite….she wont get bored then.. then in a couple of hours there will be spidery webs all over the room..she,ll not find her way out to your room then ! lol !

thanks alot Ed O….i,ll check it out…

actually the start of the ummm bop trail theres another set of steep steps (longer steps) just a few yards from the others steps which is the start of the umm bop trail apperently…. i dont know if anyone has cycled down the longer steps..probably tho but they are steeep again,,, crash n burn scenerio…lol

yep but we didnt go right next to that little stoodley pike monument (do u know which i mean chris),…. theres a long down hill from there… and if its straight to Hardcastle crags then thats fine as we can have a play around in there after… and try those big slabs that were on a track further up… i tried on my specialized bike and you were on your old Gary fisher bike…lol

The man who sold the world…Nirvana (from the live New York concert)..

SPIDERS !!!!!!!!!!! i lived in a big old house and the spiders there were as big as tarrantulas i tell you ! they were Always above my bed in the corner….always….

trouble is tho id i took on this breakdown cover then range the real sky poeple up in the future and told them my sky was broken (they,d turn around to me and say 'im sorry madam your not covered by us"….. and there would be me arguing that i am ….. 89 quid down the drain…… as if we all havent enuff dosh to pay out for things without this kind of scam going on,,,, it makes me angry…..how do they get away with it ?

wish i could knock a few years off me now (im 44 in june)… well we are all still riding the 'trails' and 'off road' and thats the 'main' thing ! keep on MTB ing !

oh ps thort you could only have a Ragley seat if you had a Ragley bike to go with it? lol

wheres that forest ? no snow ?

i wud do that just incase (you never know)…lol my tother half took the whippet for a short walk and said he was very alert and at one point my whippet started howling like a wolf ! no joking ! hes very clever is the whippet, his hunting skills are spot on ! anyway enjoy ! do wrap up rather chilly…

i went last tuesday…. plenty of ghoulies/ghosties around and that was in the daytime .lol. i did all of the red trail very muddy in parts. the big berms are closed off for resurfacing… must have hit my back rotar on a rock cos its bent now..but with a bit of fiddling ive managed to unbend it. and the boardwalk stuff is covered in snow so mighty slippery…had to walk with bike on that section.
good fun just come back filthy thats all… and the odd ghostie flying behind you.

why do people tie these dog poo bags to trees ???? i just dont get it ?
just take it home ???? we dont need decorated trees thankyou (of that kind)

im an orange five pro owner, love my five…. yep the front forks dont lock out (which can be a drawback but ive learnt to sit more forward in the saddle on those 'steep' climbs..and lets face it the 'home' of singletrack area has plenty of god dam hills…lol not ridden a zesty ever so cant comment… but the 'five' seems to be a good all rounder when it comes to mountain biking..lots of yehaas and whoo hooos…

ive been cleaning and polishing my bike for 2 hours getting the gibson forest crap off it…sooooo muddy….

then agin they could be white 'Merrels' ….. even better…lol or even better still….'Muc-off' shoes….your choice…

hey thanks alot Tony…. i cant wait till all the new stuff gets up and running… excellent to hear about different 'sized drop offs',, plenty of learning for me then..brilliant…

nice !

nice one ! bike radar…. shall read it and try to digest….
(who said my balls wud drop ) ???
im a god dam woman cant you read my name ???? lol

Gore-bike wear gloves…… not too bad… i had to put my summer gloves on whilst at gibson forest otherday cos my gore gloves were too hot ! lol
then half way around the trail it got cooler and was hailstoning so back on with the gore gloves again,…. toastie warm…… expensive but i never cold cold hands anymore ! Bonus !

i think jedi,s comment is pretty much close… yep i tend to look down for the landing instead of looking outwards if this is the case… thats a good comment young jedi… i panic too much at 'drop offs'… my son always makes it look easy tho..grrrrr..lol
…. oh i dont have a long stem its an 'orange stem' and quite short really. so i dont think thats the problem.
must look ahead more amd get alot my speed i think…. will practice more ! (i promise)..lol it was hail-stoning too…damj that hailstone weather…..teeehee

what about us old timers lol… well lest face it once you get to 30 years of age (your apparently ready for knackers yard….lol
i started mtb 2 years ago and in my middle(ish) 40,s are we still trainable mr Ed O ? lol… was at Gisburn forest yesterday and did all the red route and small bits on black ( a tiny section) muddy as hell it was yesterday…and snow on the boardwalks….managed it all tho…

i can see it now.!… muddy…. mine will be filthy after visiting Gisburn 2morow….

hmmmm stumpjumper….. once went into a well known bike shop and they told me i couldnt do big jumps on one of these bikes ???? lol not that i do massive jumps, but i was confused by what he said ? lol
