Mountain Bike Meet-Up

[downhillingdemon]

Anyone interesting in having another go at getting a mountain bike meet-up organised? I was thinking sometime in August

[Chrisdryad]

Hello matey, good to see another vegan downhiller!

Where were you thinking of having a MTB meetup then?

If you're anywhere near to the Forest of Dean, I've booked an uplift day there on August 13th.

Cheers, Chris

erm - cancel that, i'm broken! 4 months off the bike for me

have fun at the FoD though - fab uplift there!

[Johnstuff]

I should be able to join you Chris
I'll see if I can book from work later...

edit: Now booked
Hope to see you there, I'm the guy with scruffy long hair and a red Iron Horse (that badly needs a service)!

[Chrisdryad]

Nice one John!

I'll be the one on the Rocky Mountain Flatline so see you there.

I'm going down there with a bunch of mates. We normally ride Stile Cop on Cnnock Chase (check out http://www.racersguild.blogspot.com/) and Ambergate in Derbyshire, amongst oteher places. Both worth checking out as there are some great trails there!

See you on the hil John

Cheers, Chris

THanks matey, and sorry to hear about the injury Must be a serious one to keep you off the bike for 4 months! I broke my wrist last year and was off the bike for 6 weeks. It was more frustrating than anything.

Get well soon dude!

Hey Chris,

Yeah looking foward to sat. I did a couple of racer's guild events a year or so back, it's a great way to get into racing. I've been kind of meaning to get back there but not really got the racer's spirit. Not been to Style Cop for far too long but yeah it's pretty awesome there, for the amount of space there's loads of trails.

I can't wait for Saturday! Its looking OK weather wise too

If you've not been to Stile Cop for some time, you should drop by, we've done a load of building over tha last few months. Ther was some forestry work a while back and that lead to some of the trails needing to be rebuilt!
I'm not really a racer either (I'm usually near the bottom of the timing sheets!) but it's loads of fun, a great crowd and having a number on the front og your bike adds an extra little bit of excitement to the riding

See you Saturday matey!

What happened ?

[Johnstuff]

Was an awesome day, nice to meet you Chris. Sorry I didn't get to say bye as I stopped to session the top of corkscrew, then just had to have a couple of tries on the ski run table

Are you on facebook btw, I'm John Rebelistic on there?

[Chrisdryad]

Yeah, good to meet you too! It was a great day and loads more fun than my previous visit due to lack of rain!

I'll look you up on FB then John.

I can't remember if you said you're coming over to the Racers Guild session this Sunday or not? Hope so but if not, I'll no doub catch up with you sometime soon.

Cheers, Chris

[Johnstuff]

Nah, I'm stuck on call for work this coming weekend
I'll try to get down to the next one though, been far far too long since I've ridden Style Cop!

[JohnBarleycorn]

Cyclists don't just fall off ! We crash !

[downhillingdemon]

Yeah, this is true, it was a bit more than a fall-off!
