Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

pm for contact detail swap

PM'd

We should probably check trains are OK though, as I had trouble last time. I think that might have been a specific Pope-tastrophy though.

pm for contact detail swap

James:

It's nice to know that someone who seems to be so vocal and happily abrasive, and proud of his ability to speak up isn't able to man up and actually talk about things...

After you, Dancing James sent me that PM, it became apparent that it was actually you, Dancing James who had the problem with me.

Please tell me, why send me a PM like that, rather than just man up and tell me that you don't really like me, and you don't really want me to come on a trip you are organising.

It would have caused a whole lot less upset, drama and stuff. Because it's about the weekend mtb trip to the midlands really, isn't it?

So, James. I don't know what it is I've done to annoy you. I don't post much and I haven't even lived in London since April, and I have not been to any forum drinks or events since about March...

Alistiar.

Myself and a couple of others find you very annoying. It was discussed that the notion of bring trapped in a van or a group including you was not an entertaining proposition.

As such I would not want to be organising things where I would not attend myself because you had signed up. Others had expressed similar sentiment. They did not want to address the issue so I thought it best to contact you.

Pisti did the same to mean while ago publicly on the forum, I thought it better to handle it more discreetly. By my standards I handled it with the most amount of tact I could.

I do not have your contact details so a pm was the most appropriate way to deal with it.

Places to off road within the M25?

Anyone been in through Abbey Woods bostall woods area?

If walked around there a bit and seen a few trails. If I lived on it or in Plumbsted, Belvedere e.t.c I might have a play when I had an hour or so to spare but I would not travel there to ride, even from Woolwich. You would also have to except that you will be covered in dog shit.

James; I hadn't even put my name down. Hell, I even went as far as to ask if I was welcome... I never even put myself on the list(https://www.lfgss.com/post1666459-918.html) And it's obvious it's just you, because out of the 5 people on that list, there is only one person who has met me. That's you.

I appreciate that you have no other means of contacting me aside from PM. it's the way you are trying to squirm this onto someone else that make me sad. I hope you grow up one day, James.

well this is awkward....

Something I'd like to point out. 'PRIVATE message'. All you're doing is giving us something to eat our popcorn to. (not saying it's not entertaining) I just wish some people had morals.

I like morels, sorry wrong thread,

I like morsels.

oh, wait...

There is a precedent

Although that didn't end too well

I like morsels.

what like friands?
fuck me I could do with a friand and a latte right now

The irony quotient of this thread is off the scale.

I love dammit, he always complains about my attention seeking, but is the first to give it to me.

Its like munchausens by proxy!

James for some reason I think that somewhere deep inside you might be hiding a decent person, however with this most recent bought of malicious social ineptitude you have disgusted me with your behavior.

Clear enough?

so you keep fanning the flames

a rare genius

Let's put this behind us. Get back to riding.

Fuck off and feel disgusted you sanctimonious cunt.

moog and tom. what time are we travelling out?

First time mtb purchase approaching and I want some help and advice. I don't have any grand plans - definitely not racing - just a bit of rolling about on the downs/peaks etc. Budget is £600 and this is what I've narrowed down to:

1. Ex-hire Genesis IO ID (alfine hub one)
   
2. Brand new Haro Mary XC 29er
   
3. 2nd hand Orange Crush
   
4. 2nd hand Genesis Core 40/50 (seen both going for budget or less)
   
   

Open to other suggestions/offers! Cheers.

Value for money, can't be beaten.

Lots good available for that money. Boardmans are well regarded.
