My missus took me last year for my b/day on 23rd. Really great day but very busy. Try and get at the end near the arc de triumph as it is quits a big corner. Plenty of hotel rooms on the outskirs and the Metro is a doddle to get around on. Go and see a bit of history when Mr Wiggins wins this year eh?

Seasick steve?

I was out on a ride yesterday and went past these guys. Must have been about 10 of them, all adults too.
Thought it was very odd place to pitch a tent

inners & glentress seeing as your quite close by. you will have a blast! try and book on the uplift at inners though

whats wiping mean?

THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD!!

Just read the whole of this thread and cannot help but comment.
Why is it that the same people have to turn it around so all the attention is on them??
Its **** pathetic…..grown men.
Cant you let the lad have a bit of glory..whichever way he got up THE TALLEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD!!!

Chinatown is a must.
Also walk up the big hill to the cable car station (can’t remember what the hill is called) take cable car to Sentosa island

Lots to do for kids. El Duque (Costa adeje) is a lovely coast/beach and only about 3/4km from las americas. You could think your in another country its really lovely, lots of nice shopping, bars & restaurants. Take a trip up the mountain, great adventure for the kids, get the bus from the station in las americas, takes you right up to the cable car and only a few euros. There is a tourist bus/train thing that is good fun and goes all along the coast (through Adeje actually)
Lavatrax are ace too, say hi to Daz and Mike

Northwind – I am deffo not an awesome rider….well not too awesome!
Got me thinkin about nevegals now. God why are there so many frikkin tyres?
Thanks all for the input

Cheers for the replies all
Think i will go with the Minions
Ampthill – i just dont feel very confident with them downhill, they slip quite a bit under braking and going to inners in 2 weeks so want to be able to concentrate on riding rather than my tyres.
Anyone have Kenda nevegals?

crotchrocket
Good points there mate. cheers for the input, i really like my bike so maybe your right

On coffee at the moment…..i’m at work till tommorrow. boo

I was commenting on the OP’s use of the word now.
What worries me is if they are still using the names today as Ho Hum said
And no need to be sorry for my “situation”. My son is healthy, happy and emotionally fine.
Seems to me some of you are still naive kids

Thankyou so much for starting this thread.

Its ignorant pr_cks like you that help my 10yr old son, who has cerebal palsy & spastic diplegia (hence the lovely name “spaz”) to look forward to living an insult free life.

Please think before using those terms again as it only takes kids to hear a comment once and think it is ok to use it everyday.

Brings a whole new meaning to inclusion & exclusion eh?

Try & get to the final stage in Paris if you can. Great atmosphere and very exciting. Very very busy though

I did it last year and it was horrible. Soaked through after 10mins. Would be nice to do it in the dry though and actually see where you are rather than sheet rain for 8 hours!

SDG bel air, very comfy

Forget that. Its a dig day apparently

molgrips – yeah i think i like the sony a bit more. Will go and have a look this week
Cheers

Hi
Tenerife is great for biking (Mount Tiede downhill!!) and north of the island for surfing. If you stay in the south, couple of kilometers up the coast from playa de las americas is Costa Adeje which is very quiet, great beaches and lots of locals. I had 2 weeks last year and loved it.
Also Lavatrax are based in Tenerife and are a great MTB guide company run by an English guy (Daz)
It will be very cheap at this time of year too!

I saw them up at Glasgow green few years back as one of the warm up acts for the Chilli peppers/Foo fighters.
They were suprisingly awsome!
I remember he did a solo version of George Michaels Careless whisper. Brilliant, no music just him singing.
Foo fighters stole the show though!!

CP
Coming from Halifax, only 45mins away. Are conditions really bad? dont want to waste a day pass from missus.

Great stuff. Its on my xmas list now. Cheers for reply

That is the route. It actually starts round the corner from the church, which is in Sowerby. You sign in at the church then follow signs for the start. You can park in the school just down the road.

Yeah i saw you on the cannondale. Well done mate. it was a very tough ride this year. the rain was sh.t. very muddy but we should all feel chuffed we finished

Its gonna be madness out there!

My bad
dial in – as in dial in your (insert mtb related item) – TV's and amplifiers have dials, not bikes.
session – cant we say "practice" instead?
kick in – as in "have the pain killers kicked in?"

When i lived in Aussie (long time ago) worked in a hotel and cooked for Lee Marvin & them 2 scottish brothers (500 miles) who were on tour.
Whoopie goldberg was opening the "Oz Rock" cafe in kings cross and saw her walking down the street flanked by 2 huge "security" guys. said "Aright Whoopee" in my broad west yorks accent. got very funny look

Doing it for the 2nd time this year. 1st time was in 2008 and weather was not too good. hope its better this time, also got some friends to join me which will be good.
Good luck

Is it possible to run two head units from one battery?
