Log it as a run…
then they would nick your shoes.

Sounds good, Not been to LW since last Nov.

Come to aThurs eve ride At Lordswood Superfli.

I would be up for that too Matt, One off Wednesday night special?

I’ve got the cut down wetscreams for this one if the weather does as expected.

I will pack the swampthings

P.S
For all you HTs: http://mpora.com/videos/AAd8mm7cj3xh

So For the guys getting there Friday morning, will you ride Friday too?

QECP will get better over time, the volunteers have only been there 2 years, its a lot better than it used to be.
It is what it is at the moment, a 6km waymarked blue trail and a 7km waymarked red trail with a natural feel to it and a couple of features chucked in.

I can’t believe how far it has come in 2 years, from 2 basic trails and an XC race per year to having the new red and a gravity enduro, DH race and an XC race 2013.

I’m really looking forward to 2014 🙂

P.S I also like lordswoods. Good mix of trails.

I tried some chocolate truffles once but they tasted funny.

OP send me an email I will send you a GPX of the ride I did round QECP last Wednesday 41.2km long and 847m Elevation change.

what about the 3rd option, Surrey Hills? Best riding can be found there imho

I would agree unless you are looking for waymarked trail.

Its not to good as its very oldschool.

WTF does this actually mean? Trails are trails, how technical (or not) the ones you choose to ride on are up to you. It means it was put in 20years ago and not change since. I have not meet anyone that likes it, it could do with a revamp much like the red trail had.

By the way QECP does have a blue trail to but its mostly fireroad and a bit of singletrack. Its not to good as its very oldschool.

Not sure if you lot saw this but this: http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/new-qecp-blue-trail-update

The red trail is about 7km long the new blue will be about 10km.

QECP is great when its dry, but is hard to maintain any flow when its wet. Im itching to get back over there, haven’t been for a year and it pissed down the day before I last went, so meant it was still quite wet and slippery.

Its super day at the moment.

This guy was having a closer look 😉 :

(Not part of the red route)

Can anyone explain how to find this “stuff at the back” had a look last time I was there but had no luck

The forestry have been harvesting that area. A lot is no more.

As for Swinley I work locally, its really fun well worth a trip but I prefer Tunnel hill, Minley, Porridgepot etc….

If you do go to QECP, Do two laps of the red (Its running great at the moment)
or
the red and one of these XC routes to extend your ride:
http://www.qecptrailcollective.co.uk/trails/xc-routes-in-the-area/
Long route plus the red is about 4 hours.

I had same issue, bought a non ramped one (Surly I think) and didn’t fall off again.

No I have a Blackspire Stinger no that’s just the ranger for the bigger ring I think. I have 22t/36t on front.
But if I could I would go for C-Guide because it cheaper, lighter and easier to put it on and take it off.

I’ve got a Trek Fuel
C-Guide sounds perfect.

Bike?
http://www.c-guide.org/ these are great but I have a cannondale prophet so it don’t fit.

and the BDS, all 3 in Scotland, Its nuts!!!!!

As you can see from the coverage so far single pivot are the future!!!
Come on cannondale stop pissing around with stupid shocks, New prophet is what we want!!!!

So I wonder which hill the uplift will go up? It will be a big old push up.

Or a beach Holiday?

Nah, you need a homeopathic placebo.

TOO FAR! I’m not an idiot!

Maybe I should start injecting it?

I have been on my placebo training program for months as yet I don’t fell any faster.

Rode there yesterday in the rain, trails were grippy and not muddy. I was in shorts and t-shirt all day. Did 77km too 😉

I found some woods 🙂

Although, if you’re in Yarmouth, you could always think about doing the Werrymans Way path (http://www.wherrymansway.net/wherrymansmap.pdf) which starts at the back of Asda, and goes all the way to Norwich. It has a few little pub stops on the way, and then you can get the train back to Yarmouth for about £4. The train station is right beside Asda where the route starts.

Looks good but its mostly foot paths. I will give the bridleway bits ago and check out Waveney Forest

Worth a look?

Did a bit of googling and found this: http://visitwoods.org.uk/en/visit-woods/Pages/wood-details.aspx?wood=19489&site=Waveney-Forest

Anyone been there?

Instigator 2.0 does look like a hoot.

yep would love to give that a go.

Given the level of pure skill involved in my DHing probably death.

Everyone Dies.

Give them a go what the worst that could happen (Apart from death)?

Out of interest where are they £15?

Give them a go what the worst that could happen?

I used them in les Arc last year. I was happy with them, even when it was raining.

If your on about the one in Norfolk then no.

Yes I was, thanks.

Slackline and Alpine are both on my list of bike to try but if had the money:

New BTR Ranger Enduro hardtail – hand-built in Britain

… Till it rains. 😉

Raced the FoD DH race, had a great time on my HT 😀
