yellow arrows ? whats all that about….im not following no yellow arrows-yikes i mite be heading into the abbyys !

so are the posts up yet or not ? i hear some of them are…. they said a few weeks back that they were cracking on with it, but id like to go soon but dont wanna get lost ,..lol.

i have the orange five !!! it was a height thingy with me for choice, but i love my bike (never rode a full sus b4 but im mighty pleased with my choice.

just looked up the 'rp23 boost valve' shock and its approx £305 on the 'Rutland cycles' website… its says BUMPS disapear ! now that magic ! lol originally made for downhill courses.

i get free Harribo sweeties when i order from wiggle ! lol well funny (tho my daughter pinched them off me this time (duh)….and shes 18 !

i have orange 5 with Easton monkey lite bars too…. i have the smallest sized frame 14 inch (cos im a dwarf at 5ft small.! lol)

if you can get to sunny Todmorden then get to 'walsden' and go up 'Ramsden wood road' and bear left at some new houses and this takes you up and over the moorland heading towards littleborough (this is part of the mary townley route, and you,ll come out at summit tunnels, bear left uphill agin then following the blue n white signs…then take a sharp right turn down a tricky decent into walsden agin,(main road) then as from there bobs your uncle..you decide…you can cross the road fromwalsden and go up the packhorse trail to the small hamlet of Bottomley and over the walsden moor and head over towards Shepherd Rest pub, then over to Mankinholes…where you can pick up the dusty track over to Callis Bridge and then its on yer own way back to Hebden,…..

i have apple green orange five pro…..
looks very posh indeed….still dont know how to post pics on ere ! lol

that link doesnt work Alex ?

hell yeah id go if i had no ties… you are in a good position to go… you know you can always come back if it doesnt suit !!! especially if you think you can walk straight into a job with your skills then you shud have no probs…. starting a new life what fun (exciting) go for it!

we found a mobile fone at lee quarry last week, and as im a good little angel i managed to get hold of the person by ringing ‘home’ on his fone. sent it back to him and he sent us a tenner ! im a good deed person and i hope you lot are too !
tried the black section last time i was there…. some tricky stuff in it too, but good fun !

hahhha bomberman…. pedigree chum indeed… what breed are you then..a ruddy whippet. quick as lightening..eh ? lol

i take ham sandwhiches , boiled egg , the odd mars bar, banannas and id like to take my whippet with me …stick him in the top of my rucksack…he wud love it im sure, the wind rushing through his ears …, singing to me as we bomb through whinatter… (he does sing..he,s talented you know..

no body running these then ? … Turvativ Holzfeller Pedals

i have kenda on my hardtail, very grippy for winter slodge ! not good for tarmac tho.(well you have to come across tarmac occasisonlly and it slows you up, but great cross country tyres… i have full suspension bike now, so getting used to mountain king tyres that came with the bike (alot different,)……

yep at speed its gotta be challenging !!!! very ‘slatey’ tracks too.. you dont get that at Dalby… i felt i little exposed to my elbows if i had come off at speed- gulp ! had my six one ‘knee pads’ on tho , glad i did as i saw someone at the car park with a bad knee injury…
must get some elbow pads to take next time.. yehaaa whhoohooo

hmmm, well a mixed terrain for the majority of my rides, grassy mud, gritty , cobbly lanes some tarmac and alot of gritstone moorland rides.
but mainly enquiring about places like ‘Lee quarry’…. what tyre pressures should i have for this place , if anyone knows..
“mountain king 2.2” tyres is what came with my bike… ive never rode with these tyres before… ive had ‘maxxis high rollers’ and ‘kenda tyres’on a previous bike.

flawless are brilliant but i also like Diversity..competition here guys !

i bet yer not as samll as me….. *5ft) us small people are alittle vunerable at times, we seem to get looked down at for some strange reason, but over the years ive learnt to get an ‘armadillo shell’ and become tough with my innerself ! you have to be ‘strong’ and keep up a ‘front’ otherwise people will tread all over you…
when god handed out tall people he left some of us behind ! but dont forget little things come in great packages.. be strong and ignore ‘ranting idiots’ (thats their fault for being in that state of mind ! send em to the ‘DOG Whispering’…he rehabilitates people too !!! lol

yeo same for me, i have mountain king tyres on my shiney brand new bike , …the very first day i was out i got a slow puncture ! if i keep getting them i will be switching back to “Kenda” tyres…(they are brill off road

5 ft 5 and struggling….. im worse than you ,,im only just 5ft small… and ‘WAYHEY’… i picked up my brand new womens ‘orange diva pro’ today in ‘apple green’ colour,,,…. what a mean machine !!! its the only bike in the country that fits me ! teeheee … plenty of pennies mind you- but you only live once and mite as well have all the comforts and plenty of excitement ….. so looking forward some great rides…
not sure how to post pics on ere but i,ll get some outdoor pics sooon.

haah gutted now ! i mite well blush ! lol….. hmmm i wonder why they imported the stone then ? ruddy heck theres enough stone lying around the quarry ?
i didnt mean use ‘northshore’ stuff for the tracks actually, i was going to say use it for another skills area…..

any board walks coming along in phase two ??? wud be nice…!

Tony L yep me me my son took the wrong turn after the advice you gave us… we ended up near the working quarry at first ! anyway we came back to where we saw you in your van, then saw some more red route signs…
hey it mite be a good idea to make the red post/signs alittle larger ? they are tiney ! teehee.. anyway loved the course …pretty good…. very challenging… my son will be back shortly to try the black route…whats the black route like is it very tough…

im 5ft 0 inches and so i had to go for the short ! (i hope the lbs has remembered that important bit ! lol.

oh i see you have Kenda tyres on that pic ! i have kenda on my hardtail at the mo…… prob mite have to change me tyres on the new bike then at the back end of year to kenda again..they are gud ! diva comes with mountain king tyres..

yep thats it apple green…. was going for the pink originally but then i saw the apple green and had to have that colour.. (had to pay extra of course) upgrade paintjob.. , so just put a deposit down at the weekend so i await now….(help i cant wait….lol

lol !!! have you never seen y postings ? im much worse off than you as im 5ft 0 inches ! ive scoured the country looking for a bike that fits and wanted the Titus range, but in the end it was going to work out alot more than the ‘orange Diva’ that you mentioned… can i just tell you that the Diva comes in short and long sizes !
im plumping for the Diva, ive battled with this for many months, i originally wanted to get the womens cannondale rush or is it Rise anyway that model started at 15 inch frame and ive sat on loads of bikes , even tried the womens Marin but alas the cross bar was still digging in me at the standover height test….
now you being 5ft 3 inches will have alot more choice than me… only ruddy bike that fits is gona cost a s mall fortune but the orange Diva fits me well and i road all day on it (6 hours ) no stopping…it was brill for me…so yep thats the bike for me..

so you built it yourself then….. uh hum im not mechanical but glad to hear you like the titus

er nope not tried the juliana,,,, thing is ive been spoilt by having a demo on the orange diva and the spec it pretty darn good too !

hahah great ride i bet that ! are you bonkers tho…i go caving around that neck o woods and theres plenty of holes and ‘grieks n grikes’all around just waiting for your front tire to decend down ! (and some are massive deep holes)…. lol.. be careful dudes..

erm, to do bunny jumps properly ! (my son makes it look all too easy.

ooops slight spelling mistake in the above ! sorry… (hahahha)

well this is alittle tamer than the above….. but whilst at the car wash today a car drove up with a roof full of baked beans and tomatoe sauce spread all around the car doors…….. did look funny tho !!!
but i have to ask (why didnt the owner throw a bucket of water on the roof to swish away the beans before he got to car wash ? he could have attempted to scubb the car just alittle bit before entering car wash…. anyway it had all dried on coc wen he drove out of car wash the tomatoe sauce was still spread all arond the car doors !
i would have walked over to the ‘hot jet wash’ myself and given it a dam good spraying ……… ohhh dear wonder what it will be next week ..egg n toast (brown sauce for a change…lol

who said a 10 miler ? thats way too far for a newbie… oh dear… she mite be put off by shear exhaustion..
hey theres a nice track up at the Summit at the tunnels thats littleboro way ! i ride up there often (as part of a ride i do) and its not too bad to take a newbie…
i ride with my son and ive learnt to keep up now on those big climbs, lol. i have no choice in the matter he never stops !! (“nearly at the top now” he keeps shouting back at me, the top never ends and wen i do reach it- theres still no rest ! hahha no rest for the wicked then…

have a couple of boosts bars and a banana before you go on yer ride, then ya shall have bags of energy….(get extra sleep tonite (ask yer granny for sum sleeping tablets (lol). or failing that a thwack on head with thammer….teehee

you spelt Todmodern wrong for a start !…. its spelt ‘Todmorden’ !!! or id you find the headstone on Rochdale road you pronounce it ‘Tod mor den’..

my home town and is the best for hill climbs and the best decents for mountain biking (yeah).
yep we could do with a bike park with some real jumps…. and also some board walk stuff up in the park woods ! just a few not totaly swamp it.
and ive always said we shud have a bouldering wall somewhere in our town (the old doctors on Burnley rd perhaps.
a cinema !!!!!! please… or an ‘ice- rink’ or ‘bowling alley’ !

i thort youd be earwiggIng SPUD !!!! i hear you (motolite) ! hahah if i buy a motolight the guy in the shop has promised to ride with me somewhere up scotland ! lol oooh ….
did enjoy the Diva tho ! but apparently Titus are supposed to be alot lighter than the orange ! wow !

went riding in calderdale today… im shattered (6 hours !

arent you supposed to have them serviced once a year ? yep cut down the drinking dude ! you mite want to see where you’re cycling ! lol
