Sounds great.....but I'd rather be where I'm going that weekend; 5 days riding in Verbier.

Have fun.

Yeap I'm coming - I've got a pass-out for the day, and get to miss the Mother-in-Law visit.  :thumbsup:

Right, I'm in. Checked everything but the date with fatdoc. Before I book my uplift place can someone going confirm that it is Sunday 26th?

Bloody hell Mark you've changed  :)
I remember the days when you wouldn't go near a bike and accused me and FD of being shaven legged drug monkeys.
Is this the start of middle age ?

Well slimfast told me it was Sat 18th - if it's 26th I can most likely make it too.

FD and FBSF both confirmed 26th to me and that's when I've booked an uplift place. You going to come too?

You'll have to wait a while longer before I give in and admit that road biking is a good idea. And I wish I was only at the start of middle age!

The lying twat, I've got a text from him saying 18th which is why I said I couldn't do it. Quite possible on the 26th, but we're on holiday so not sure if we'll be about. I'll check with her who must be obeyed. It'd be good but I'll be well rusty on the DH bike.

What's the booking site?

Anyone ridden the Downhill on Skiddaw. Supposed to be pretty hardcore. Wondered if my stumpy would be up to it.

I'm sure the stumpy would be fine.... it's a bridleway... it's just you wont be flying down at warp speed.

BTW, I did hear a rumour someone died on it a few years ago.  :o


Bubba & Fbsf... how many vehicles are we actually taking  :shrug:

If there's a place on the uplift & fbsf decides what he's doing I'm sure we'll all get there my some means...


get in Bubs...

as if by magic just appeared on pinkbike


fuck me it looks good... my heart's racing at those 2 coffin drops....

I feel sick.... that unique fear / desire / lust for fun that only MTB gives me

One of those * DONT BRAKE* moments. I think that's where Jordy put  a brake lever through his thigh into his femur.

So does that mean drivers choice on the way & passenger music choice on the way home?

unless there are more than 16 places for the uplift we now have 50% of the seats  ;D

we'll sort out transport later in the week.

I have a*new* bike... a 4 yr old SX trail frame with Maz 66s with 170mm ( for £130) all now finally working... test ride wharners at 08:00 saturday... ridden it for 30 mins as it was getting dark tonight.... FAST, light and rather fun.. good timing..

Did it today, very unimpressed. Long long slog for not much action. Yes its downhill for a long time but not much to play around with. It was very wet though so had to be a little cautious. Might need some new break pads though. They were boiling!
