Newcastle Rides

yeh thursday is good. no food or drink or anything for me though as i'm fully skint.

so where does everyone fancy meeting?

Me too actually. I can only just afford to get to Newcastle.

Why not meet at monument?

yeah monuments good. thenorth - lol nah im not rob but yes i do live in that house. im ali, rob lives downstairs, he's in ireland at the moment though,,,, do you know him like? I think monument is a good meeting place, 7ish? think i may just be riding singlespeed, i had a crash the other day and impaled a chainring into the back of my leg, ill see though.

ah right well i have met you quickly i think. im jay used to live in robs room last year i am crap with names lol. i know most people in the house mostly paul and mark tho

cool, monument at 7. maybe we should decide roughly what we are gonna do before the ride.

monument @ 7 on the 12th June. How about riding out towards byker, down past that trendy bit where the cluny and stuff is, then back along the keyside, then up from the tyne bridge back to monument (nice stretch of hill), then from monument somewhere else? I don't think that loop would take more than half an hour, if that!

Maybe on from there to the skate park at exhibition park (if it's still there/not full), or on to this dirt bowl ricky mentioned (sounds fun!!)... any other suggestions?

that sounds good but, out of interest, what are we gonna do at the skate park or dirt bowl?

Drink cider?

what are we going to do at the skate park? fall off.

Which of you jokers were crossing the cowgate roundabout about half an hour ago? I spotted about 4 of you fellows on various forms of fixed wheel transport. Nearly crashed my car out of surprise! I was driving a black C2.

Not guilty though I was in the wilds of darras hall/ponteland last night !

As regards the skatepark/dirt bowl i was wanting to see alex bust out a curved wallride a la bootleg sessions and i was thinking a speedway style race around the dirt bowl would be fun. On second thoughts after closer inspecting the dirt bowl yesterday we'd all end up with square wheels if we did that ! Maybe just a longest skid comp on the copious amounts of grass around there though ?!

yeah i went to check out the dirtbowl at the weekend, thats why i was asking, if it was decent surface it would be mint.

wonder who was brave enough to ride through cowgate?

I'm not sure if they did - i only saw them at the roundabout. Looked like they were trying to head down towards the airport! For all i know they came from the bloody A1. They looked fairly lost, anyways!

If it wasn't a busy dual carriageway I would've stopped to find out what the crack was!

You should've said, I live in darras hall.

so who is attending this now?

arghhhh I'm going to the beer festival on thursday now instead of friday. Looks like i can't make this!! Shit.

Maybe just a longest skid comp on the copious amounts of grass around there though ?!

Living on the coast I learnt skids on tarmac covered in a thin layer of sand so I've never done a skid on grass. Why not just a real skid comp on smooth tarmac? Maybe a trackstand comp too.

so who is attending this now?

Let's get an official confirmed list going!

1. Rusty (no flatmate)
