I did the loop clockwise. The climb upto the waterfall is erm interesting :lol: Pulling wheelies going uphill is fun :D

[/quote]What is freeride AM riding?

I was wondering the same thing too? :lol: So many labels so little time!

I would have been overtook by a snail today :lol: I have not cycled in 5 weeks (eek) God I am sore!

I stopped buying mtb mags ages ago. I fond they where full of adverts and repeated or contradicted themselves. I prefer the forums for info personally.

I can ride my bike.

Why not go the exotic, on-one yadda yadda route??

I commute 30 miles a day and do this:-
Pre Morn Commute: Cup of coffee

At work: before my shower 1 glass of nesquik with soy milk
after shower bowl of museli

Snack: rice cakes and fruit

Lunch: wraps with filling of some sort, crisps and a choccy bar

Before evening commute: Fruit or something

It owrks for me and drinking shed loads of water helps too.

Why shouldn't they be allowed on anyway? They are a legitimate party.

Flame job what is that bit of titanium singlespeed loveliness?

Yup that sums up how jey xc is :roll: ;) Clucking bell that's steep!! I like xc it's what I rode back in '90 and it's what I enjoy now, all this gnarlcore chickenstep hardride (woo new niche)does my nut to be honest :lol:

Hayes Sole are awfulllllllllll I binned them off my Genesis io and got some juicy 5s. I run juicy 3s with a 180 rotor on my hookooekoo and they're brilliant plenty of stopping power for me :)

just tried and it works for me using Jaunty and firefox.

Yes

Blimming 'eck!!

Folding in the passenger side mirror, saying through the window "Well, you obviously don't use it."

:lol: I really like that one

1x Giro Hex for commuting and other stuff

I bought a Panasonic 32" LCD last October and it's ace. The picture quality is immense cost me £499 from amazon a whole £200 cheaper than anywhere else!

I wish something was done about the bloody idiots who seem to ignore the 30 limit in our village. Trying to cross the road with the pram is interesting at times due to the plebs driving at warp factor ridiculous. I may put my foot down on the motorway but when it comes to residential areas I stay well within or below the limit. Prime example of why. I was driving along at about 15mph when a kiddy decided he wanted to cross the road whilst I was approaching luckily I was able to stop well before him. Now if I had been going the speeds some twunts drive around our estate (bearing in mind they have kids too) at that kiddy would have been toast!
Here endeth my high horse :lol:

Rain stopping play??? I thought we rode mountain bikes and got muddy??? I am now confused??

I use their 26 ones and I likes them :) They are Nuke proofs without the nuke proof badge and cost hth.

I too commute on a pompy :) I use sks chromoplastic guards, a Blackburn Quadrant and MARS light set for being seen (and giving people epileptic fits)and I currently have a DX Bastid on its way to me. If your journeys a long 'un like mine (15 miles each way) invest in a carradice saddle bag they are teh nuts! I use a berghaus pac lite and it's ace but I hear good things about this jacket http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11427

Chop their hands off!!

The difference from the first time I rode Hamsterley to how it is now is like night and day.

I have used the b&q equivalent and it's pap. I ended up taking it off as it goes yellow and looses it's stickyness.

Where does your loop go? or is it hush hush lol. Hopefully my ss will be battle ready again by the weekend. Thing is I haven't ridden in a month due to the birth of my son so my next ride will be err interesting :lol: When I finally go back to work next week, my commute on my fixie is going to be even more fun :lol:

The black route is a joy now imho. There are some fire road slogs but the descents are well worth it now :)

I'm gonna conquer my fear and ride that big bomb-hole!!

That bomb hole is mint :D I personally am not a fan of the little rock drop off before it though. Thing that made me laugh with that was a guy on a full sus wearing a full face helmet and armour chickened out of riding it??

I got a restraining order last time I went stalking.

I have an etrex legend and got it for about £70 from the states via evil bay last year. It's mapping is basic but handy and the co-ords are proper handy.

I came down here from Yorkshire so it is a culture shock :lol: I am going to treat my ss to some new pads and go over to Sherwood to see what that's all about. I feel my Hookooekoo may become unloved :(

I would love to see them live. Their music is ace for training to.

I live just outside of Sludgef er I mean Sleaford :lol: I have seen the Viking challenge and may give it a bash :D Will have another looksie at the bicycle mania website.
Cheers :)

I swapped my io forks for the exotic ones and there is not much in them weight wise imho.

I have a spare set of silver Genesis forks from my io.

Do you know what I can believe that. Dons flameproof suit.

Do you also have superdry jacket monkeychild?

Ugh no! They are awful and quite chavish imho

Donkey jackets have the shiny black rhubarb on the back.

:lol: Binman jacket. STW is a host of fashionable chaps ;)

It's not a coat made out of peas. 'Tis one of these
