Fair chance I will be up for that, just need to confirm the diary with the missus. Think I have availability all weekend so can be flexible.....just need to be cautious of the football starting around 12:45 on Saturday, need to be back for that

QUOTE(Stan Leigh @ Jan 19 2011, 09:56 PM) Bah , can't make Friday evening this week , working late , followed by mega early ! So have fun & I will catch up soon. @ Shmikuk , probably going to miss the Troll super Saturday as well , but remember it's super Tuesday soon !  Can't make sat a.m ride, so Friday night and Sunday should be good chance to get out. Although FA may be slowed by me again as it's been 2 weeks since I got out. Must make a Tuesday, it's too late for me to go straight from work and too early for me to come home and get over again. Lol. |

Ah pants, can't make Saturday as my son is playing footy at 10.30 - can't get out of it as my daughter also has ballet lessons so the missus is busy. Hell bent on getting out on Sunday morning though......

Look on the bright side at least your son is not doing the Ballet  May do Sunday then if you need someone to slow you down, unless you are doing a quick ride in which case I would slow you down. Let me know, I am fine either day but probably can't do both days! |

Let me know, I am fine either day but probably can't do both days! Not too fussed about a quick/slow ride, just need to get out! Crappy week at work (again) and have to go back to NL next week (again) so need a few hours blowing the cobwebs away. Let me know, happy to ride on my own but also glad of the entertainment, erm - sorry meant company!! ;-) |

I'm coming home this weekend but am so tired that I'm looking forward to a lie in and may not ride Saturday. If I do, it'll be a last-minute decision.

Well. Tonight was interesting
Starting with a nice over the bars that had my left eyes land about 5mm from at tricking of the ground root that would I cost me an eye is I had gone any faster (still managed to scratch my eyebrow) Then my rear tyre blow as I crossed a frozen puddle on a single track in Sandhurst Took me a good 10 minutes to change it (don't ask) Meanwhile my dog had a go at my left glove as I took it off to change the tyre and ripped the shit out of it (tanks for Ian latex glove my fingers are still intact but just) Then as I forget to take in consideration how cold it was when pumping the tyre, as soon as it start warming up, it expended and go out of the rim. And other stop. This time a quick one, and we just head back toward the car park before anything else went wrong... Still managed about 20km and was home by 22:30 but all my gear is still on the flat bed of the truck as the locking ass frozen shut and I can be bothered boiling a cattle to unlock it  Ian, up for next Friday?

Cheers for leading, I'm finally starting to recognise some routes, but still not sure I'd find them without a guide. Lucky escape on the over the bars. Phew! It wasdry enough to get some speed but wet enough to catch you out.... Especially in the dark! You forgot to mention our gears/ spds etc freezing up after the formula 1 style pit stop  if it wasn't so cold it would have been funny. Next Friday? Yeah maybe!

Who knew those two bits of rubber could go in the pump 57 different ways?!?! good to know though as I think the new rims are presta rather than the current schraeders!
