Endless ride Chalet cake Isle of wight, Godshill Tearoom XL double choc chip muffin with raspberry ripple ice cream..

From the original Red Bull at CYB before it was sanitised to a shadow of its former self.

Here’s this weeks offering, I couldn’t get inside to take photo’s as they don’t open until 11am in the Winter.The history of this bunker starts way back in world war 2 as a starfish site confusing enemy bombers and undoubtedly saved many lives. In the 1950s Hack Green was converted into a nuclear bunker for early warning of missile attack and for post attack co-ordination and government. Also known as Mersey Radar it provided safe flight paths for military air traffic until the end of the cold war period. The history of the area goes much further back and there have been many conflicts from civil war skirmishes and Viking raids.

Thanks DBW! Nice to see someone else on here knows that one as well. That trail is what Alpine 160’s were built for. At the end of that we were just lying in the grass giggling like a bunch of kids . Many Happy Returns to come !

The Brazilian,with Bike Verbier .Thanks very much Phil and Lucy!

Thanks very much for that Chris,it played back fine on my ropey laptop.
Looking forward to the next one. :-)

You will probably find more than enough to keep every one happy with the riding to be had in what’s known as the Verbier Bowl. I can’t make it this year, going to have to wait until 2012.

That was in the middle of August 2007, we had about 40 cm overnight , then mostly gone by lunchtime apart from up past the top lift.

A few from various years up to last year from 2006

I’ll make more Ginger cake for next time :-).Its just nice knowing you can have a brew and cake a couple of minutes after getting back to your car when you’re parked away from any cafe’s or shops.
My tent and sleeping bag have just moved closer to the loft door!

BEEFY ! Lost your gloves? email me( in profile ) I’ll post them back.
Thanks for the cake appreciation !

A big thanks to Pook and every one, a most enjoyable Pootle for my first one. Please can somebody book sunshine for the next one!
Rich you left your gloves in the back of my van by the kettle,email (in profile)with your address and I’ll post them back to you when they have dried out.
A great ride out considering the grim weather, thanks again to every-one.

just a bit of rain in the lay by at the start.

oops, double post,sorry

Thanks for that,will come via Macc then.

I’ll give it a go, I have to come past the Cat and Fiddle so it could go belly up yet !

First of all, Hello and welcome! I have a 2010 Alpine 160 , size is 16 inch , and I’m 5 ft 6 inches. HTH. :-)

Keep your eyes open for a Pine Green Transit Connect!

I’ve made flapjack in dark chocolate & apricot flavour and mixed fruit and nut, also Ginger cake. First come first served!!

Derenaz with Phil & Jason.Long climb followed by a mental DH in the rain and fog/mist. Couldn’t see a lot(probably as well!)as my glasses were forever steaming up or covered in water droplets!Very nearly bailed on that one and was thinking about going back down on the fireroad, but Jase “persuaded” me that the rest was easier…Never been so glad to get down in one piece,oh, and the Bar was shut when we got to the bottom. :oops:

Another one with 140mm Fox 32’s.I love it as it is,and wouldn’t change this set up.The brakes came off my Patriot, and I CBA shortening them(PITA Hayes,I’ve never liked bleeding these and only do so when absolutely necessary :roll:

A few from Berlin,probably a bit different now,these were taken in 2003,whilst I was working at Saltzgitter for 3 months.

This one is on my commute.I promise to put more effort into the ones later in the week. :wink:
It is St.Michaels in the Parish of Coppenhall and was built in 1919.

I’m in. Weather forecast is supposedly dry and cold.

Met a couple out walking theirs in Delamere a couple of weeks ago,a nice friendly dog,very colourful coat to,but after we had finished making a fuss of him, the first thing he did was to turn around and have a quick bite on my mates rear tyre!
So although its of no help to you,sorry, yours doesn’t appear to be the only one with the habit. :wink:

Hairy Bikers full fat flapjack it shall be then.;)

Can a Pootle First Timer bribe his way in with Haribo and homemade flapjack ? :)

Glad to be of help.Both are very interesting,well worth a look.

19 miles around Delamere and Grestys Waste today, trails in excellent condition, still frozen/dry, with the odd soft patch where the the sun has broken through.

Mine came about 10 minutes ago, not such a tedious week at work next week! Happy New Year at last.
Thanks to all at STW .

The best £2.69 you will spend on Amazon.
HTH.

I got a full set of o rings to service Pikes / Revs off ebay for about £8.
put a search in bike parts for rock shox o rings.
HTH.

Not GPS app as such, but I have a compass type one that will guide you back to your start point. I haven’t searched for one as I use a Garmin e-trex on the bike.I.

I’ve had mine just over 3 months, no trouble with it at all. Battery lasts a couple of days with about 2 hours a day on interweb,I would guess at about 36 hours from full to flat, depending on amount of use of course.Probably a couple of hours to charge up again.
Two spare batteries and a desktop charger were £13 of ebay, I just leave a spare battery at work, but have never needed it yet.A rubberised hard case and 6 screen protecters were about a fiver I think.
I would certainly have another one.
HTH.

Try Toot Sweets Emporium, Fish Street, Shrewsbury .

Ha, thanks very much for that. Job done end of discussion ( SWMBO now pouring more wine, and now knows better . ) Cheers Sharki !

SWMBO reckons, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not Chitty Chitty Bang Bang .I will pass on this one, Anybody else help out with this one .?
