Mountain biking

[fiskaroo]

should of come with us!

[bon3yard]

I will at some stage. If you ever fancy an early evening ride after work then let me know also. Where did you end up going?

[fiskaroo]

Hey, great day yesterday AF -- had a lovely time cycling to Hyde Park, then to Regent's Park and along the canal to Islington. Anybody want to join us next week?? Something similar? Fiskaroo knows some good back street routes to cut out traffic dodging -- and I really enjoyed seeing parts of London I've never seen before....

[bon3yard]

Is Fiskaroo talking about Fiskaroo in the third person? I've heard Ricky Hatton talking a Lot about Ricky hatton recently. Is this the way forward? ;-)

[fiskaroo]

Anyone up for a bike ride this Sunday?? Weathers looking good.

[thestylist]

anyone keen to make good use of this early morning light and get a little muddy of a few peices of local single track?

have found some great little sections of dirt with in 5 mins of ED

[fiskaroo]

When are you thinking stylist?

[thestylist]

morning fiskaroo.. any morning really aronund 6 - 6.30 start... i work locally so i am willing to work around others scheduals thinking thurs/friday morning in the short term but im always as keen as mud.. let me know what work for you and can be the day... cheers the stylist (will send a propper introduction to pm)

[thestylist]

hey hey fiskaroo thanks for this morning lots of fun... you two enjoy pulling those thorn's out... allways worth the scratches... cheers

[fiskaroo]

Yep loads of fun. Loads of scratches!!

[thestylist]

so i was out this morning making a little modfication to that little log step which is now a log jump.......its faster with a slight change to the entry line and a build up to the log and the exit alot straighter, meaning you can carry more speed in and out anyone.... keen for tommorrow morning or the weekend ?(tu)

[fiskaroo]

I may do the weekend but need to get back to you

[thestylist]

pull those nice fat tyres out of the shed again fiskaroo...the drop are easier the more air and rubber you have... have a nice week i will see you two soon

[malcomio]

that sounds like a good trail - is it up west norwood somewhere? I'm not around this weekend, but I'd be up for exploring that some time

[fiskaroo]

its some woods just by the harvester pub on Lordship Lane!!

Then at One tree hill.

[thestylist]

sunday night is a matter of hours away in ed .... im keen to hit the dirt trails around 7pm tonight and fingers and toes crossed we might get some rain for a muddy run ... wet or dry are any of you guys and girls keen? if so pm or call 07818648061 and we will tee it up... prob start point at the herne....

[thestylist]

another jump has gone in today ..its a little more interesting than the other.. and twice as high... the exit will be a bit tricky at speed so banking the corner may happern over the weekend by the magical track building fariy (for lack of a straighter alais) ...also a few new sections of trail opening up to us as well.. but im keen for a ride sunday week if anyone is keen.... just a local trail bash but its getting better every week. get in touch riders

[thestylist]

for the cause....

so my hands are full of thorns..... but on the up side less scratches for us all on the way down the hill ...

Hi all.

I've been looking for some people to ride with around ED and came across this thread. Are you guys still riding? If so, when and where? Room for one more off-roader?!

[malcomio]

hi - i've not been out for a while, but hopefully will be getting back on the bike in the next couple of months. last summer went to leith hill and box hill a few times, and afan in south wales for a weekend. Definitely looking to explore a bit more, though

[chairmanmo]

Sounds good to me. I've been out around Box Hill way a few times. Definitely up for getting out there with a few other people. Is there a train down to Box Hill? I used to drive there but am car-less at the moment. Anybody else fancy an excursion soon?

[bon3yard]

I'm always up for a jaunt. Let me know when you get something sorted.

[Sandperson]

I'd be up for it but you don't even need to go that far afield. Apparently Mitcham Common is a good playground and almost empty at weekends. Plus it's rideable to.

[chairmanmo]

Looks not bad on the website. Certainly bigger than South Norwood Country Park, which I went to on Sunday. I'd be up for a ride to Mitcham Common to check it out. Not sure if I can do this Sunday yet though. Might have to do family stuff. I'll post again when I know if it's do-able.
