wors – I’m in Bolton and it’s raining. :-)

are you sure that’s Preston Simon? I’m not disagreeing, I’m just surprised it’s possible to see Preston from there…

That white church looks very similar to the one in Chorley but I don’t think theres tower blocks round it.

And had the local ‘Stick man’ been up to his tricks further along that footpath?

Iamin.

6′ drop?????? 8O

I saw one racer clean the lump. He span but just got enough grip.

Not Interrailed since 1986 but it was great! I believe you can make a do of it as a family. I must say that I found the bit of Bulgaria that I saw, well,… it rhymes with ‘hit hole’.

Is she Keith’s sister?

So, Beadles not about then.

I thought it was good, something a bit different. I think the rocky bit made people think a bit. Not so sure about a start from the car park at the bottom!
Mr Sparkle – singlespeeder! Looking forward to the next one.

Both Chipps and Ben have now been in contact and I think it is all sorted out. I have found this experience a bit of an eye opener but I would like everyone to now consider this matter closed.
Thanks,
Mr Sparkle.

In the interim I have sent the email to Chipps. I will send it to Ben too.

Sorry we didn’t call you up and play trumpets down the phone. We ran out of trumpets… We’ve got harmonicas if that’s any good…

Not really a response I was expecting.

Well I thought of that but knowing my luck I’d choose someone who is away somewhere exotic testing something erotic for a month hence hedging my bets by posting it up here, y’see.

Sorry had to go. Send to simonATsoundreductionDOTcoDOTuk
Thank you muchly. ;0)

Pikey. ;0)

JxL no, wasn’t too bad. It didn’t really rain during the race and the course is pretty much ‘all weather’. Twas a bit cowd and blowy though!

Yes, glorious wall to wall sunshine in Bacup. Not.
Well, it went ok despite everything. Next time I will be handed my ass on a plate by Trio, apparently…

N.Yorks.

I am ‘racing’ tomorrow. Kinda looking forward to it…

Nice one Amy.

First one wrong.

Are the deaf ones ok?

Can I have a go?

And a ‘dose’ of what, exactly?

Spotted some red paint on some trees so guessed that. We kind of blundered into it part way down and then pushed up. Minced back down again! Wrong kinda bike and no skillz (as all the kids are saying these days). Will have another look at it though! ;0)

Soulfly – Conquer

Schwiiing! i like.

It’s quite tough. I’d get some practice in on the route esp Hard Knott and Wry Nose. People do it on hand bikes, mind, so you’ve got it comparatively easy on a mountain bike!

Whatever, just stick some EPO in. ;0)

Voodoo Wanga here, too. Mine’s not for sale though…

My mate has had one for yonks and uses it for jumps and xc. Works ok for him. Do it!

Think we should be safe now.

Fookin’ hope not. Jazus.

How about one of ‘ours’?

Jenn Hopkins you philistines.

Rudeboy – I actually agree with you!

Such is life.;0)

Current one

Long since changed incarnation of my favourite bike

Sadly missed

Soon to be reborn. Possibly.

Had a bit of a look meself yesterday. Doesn’t look like she’s done owt since ’06.

Shame this got hijacked into a load of NF shite.

What is happening to the Gurkhas is wrong, a total injustice.
