Rocket Rons

good work mr spoon

BR – thats what I do, surprised most people dont. But from my ride on Sunday I saw about 15 people on the trails, mostly near the ‘hotspot’ of Holmbury / Pitch on their all mountain rigs with pads etc so no wonder they can ride more than 10 miles before giving up.

a lovely ride in the hills today. it was no busier than usual and one person let the side down by cycling on the footpath from the bottom of bkb, the rest of his mates took to the road.
i must admit this will be my last ride in the hills for a bit, the tracks are muddy and need some recovery time, so heres hoping for a dry spell.

i also did not visit the peaslake store, prefer to ride to Leith and enjoy the view (there was one person there at 10am)

Someone bright will understand that we live in a democracy and can live where we want and cycle on designated paths! If you don’t like it, I suggest you move.

Well said shortcut. Good night

i drive to box hill and ride a lovely 26 mile loop taking in Ranmore, Leith, Holmbury and Coldharbour.

oh well, im all set so here’s hoping for a frost and crispy ground!

BTW anyone ride the hills today, if so conditions update please as im out riding the minute the sun rises. :D

Crossfire80 – im just stating what im observing. I dont have any stats to prove my statement (and I suspect you dont either)

As for the blighting of the village by cyclists, you could approach this in two way, accept the fact cyclist will use the area and form a ‘neighbourhood’ commitee to look at ways to improve the current blighting of the village or just get angry and rant a lot. Your choice.

I agree with njee have been riding the area for 10+ years and its not busier now than it was 10 years ago. However, I am saddened by the number of illegal trails (barry knows nothing etc) being built and being ridden by people who should know better.

A few weeks ago I confronted a rider who went past a walker on the 2nd BKB climb, covering her in mud. I caught up with him and politely asked whether he realised what he had done – he stuck two fingers at me and told me to ‘F’ off. He was riding a Santa Cruz so that probably tells it own story.

i think this thread may actually be funnier than the oldie with the chap and tubeless goo and track pump. Brilliant STW gold. I love STW!

Our cat once jumped into a tub of paint, that led to immediate clipping. It was very very funny. :D

seriously, does it really matter who wears the clothes. If its good, people will buy nothing to do with class, job etc.

Leave on good terms.

congratulations – out little man is a little over 2 months, the most tiring but amazing of my life. Enjoy every minute, they grow so quickly.

After 8 weeks they start to smile and make funky noises – amazing :D

andyl – no it dosent, i tried everything to mount a Pana XC Pro UST onto a Crossmax. Nothing worked apart from the Ghetto method.

who needs a compressor when you can have this for 10 pence.

I use it all the time and it has never failed to seat the tyres.

rocket ron.

its just ok – watch it tomo if its bucketing down!

to those lucky enough to grab some, if for any reason you want to sell them on – i will happily taken them off your hands.

commuting to and from work – the arrival of mini-mashiehood has thrown all my plans out the window :|

it was lovely this morning – commute from Kingston to Central London taking in Richmond Park and Hyde park – glorious. :D

cheeki bu**ers!

paypal gift ok :-)

steady on shooterman. everything ok?

damn it missed out!

I have recently split my yeti and sold it on here – everyone has been a pleasure to deal with. I have been buying selling (and making the odd post on the chat forum) on here for years. Never once have i had an issue. My simple moto is to treat everyone how you would want to be treated.

Also, pay with paypal and dont use gift. Simple steps.

Check our mtbr there is a massive thread all about these

Rocket Ron – brilliant

ask1974 – im assuming you live around the surrey hills – did you get it muddy today as there was plenty about

ask1974 – looks good, the best orange i have seen but one question, how is that bike so clean mid-way through a ride?

pussywillow – 29er’s are AMAZING! sit on the sidelines and watch everyone else having a blast on their 29er’s! i sold my ASR5 C 26er because it was a poor relation to my 29er hardtail. I LOVE MY 29er! :lol: LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

(ps, its all about the bike)

The truth remains that despite the undoubted failures, the successes outweigh the negatives.

good lord!

Not guilty

deluded, some stats here:

the police are always right – 1433 people have died in contact with the police since 1990, no police officers have been convicted.
