Ride over the weekend?

[Haffa]

Is there a social ride this weekend or a group I can join with who dont mind if im a touch slower?

Im new to mtb and looking to join up, just want to come and meet a few people first.

Im available all this weekend, any day or time, I can manage 11 miles ok probably more if I take it easy.

Im in weeting so bcp, high lodge or local lanes are easy to get to.

Cheers, Mark.

Hi Haffa, I'm looking to get out in the best weather this weekend which is looking like saturday currently. Probably start from BCP at 10-11, will confirm nearer 't weekend if your interested.

[Haffa]

Yep thats good with me. Hopefully the sun will turn up.

As a new member to the forum, who may be interested in joining in on trail building, I too would like to come along for a ride and meet one or two people. Is it ok to join you two Saturday?

[teeds]

Yea red you're welcome to join us. Saturdays weather looks ok so lets say 10.30 BCP car park? I'll be in a blue ford focus with a black and red specialized bike on the back.

Thanks guys ... 10:30 it is.

Looks like Saturday will be the only decent day, not allowed to use a hose to clean the bike down after a ride so it will have to be a nice dry day.

[Haffa]

See you at bcp, I'll be riding up from weeting and optomistically riding back

Has anyone read the fine print on the hosepipe ban? I went through it word for word and it does not ban you from using a hosepipe for cleaning a pedal cycle. Anything motorised is out. You can find it on the anglia water site, bit of a trawl. People will probably still have a moan but its very specific on what is banned. Read it yourself, dont take my word for it

If I'm allowed a hosepipe for the bike, I could lean the bike against the car when I'm washing it !
I'm getting stir crazy due to the weather, it's stopped raining, I have my bike in the car, I'm going for a ride after work ... weather be damned!

[rossburton]

I may be able to swing a trip on Sunday, anyone else free? Bonus points for off-piste, I've only been on the red recently...

[wideboydave]

Can't make Saturday due to outlaws, but I'm aiming for the Monday ride (weather permitting... bbc says monday will be a bit wet!)... so if anyone is worried about being the slowest... worry no longer!

Plus I've got a new camera and I wanna try it on some riders... although unless it's dry, that will stay indoors!

[littlered]

Thanks to teeds and Haffa for the ride this morning. Cheers guys.
Hard work, but enjoyed every minute .... 200 of such and left you two still going!

[teeds]

yea a good blast and no rain

Ross i'm going to head over to SD and do a few loops of the blood if you fancy it? Won't be until about noon though.

[rossburton]

Plans changed, I'll probably just squeeze in a local ride. Thanks for the offer though teeds, I've only ridden around SD once.

How was the RED yesterday?. Holding up well and all open?

[teeds]

The red was pretty good with only a few sloppy areas, diversions are in place were the new surface has been laid at the beginning of the long loop.
