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

Nice! and that was quick!

yep, really prompt service

they also said to invert the bike before pumping the negative air chamber

Anyone up for Swinley on Saturday - Brent is taking another skills session, so I hope to be there for 9.30, would anyone else want to meet for a ride at around mid day?

maybe...

James - can anyone rock up to the skills session, or does it need to be booked? Would be up for skills training, for sure.

Brent is cool with us just rocking up, 9.30 swinley car park, how are you planning on getting out there - train to martins heron?

Train to MH then ride over I guess - you?

train too, best to get in the bike carriage at the rear not front of the train as it stops nearer the exit from the station (assuming you are coming from London)

Yeah that's right, will get on at Waterloo. Looking to get the 7.50 arriving at MH at 8.47. Next one, 8.20, gets in 9.17 leaving it a bit tight.

get the later one, its ten mins from martins heron to the lookout

Yup? OK cool - will see you on the train, if not I'll give you call. Looking forward to it.

Brighton Big Dog, anyone?

Won't be making it to swinley tomorrow, I have a lovely dose of the flu. New year then...

Yes, ran it yesterday morning and the same route that took me 2hrs took me 55 minutes!

Still have no idea how I carried my bike up some of those steps!

so Friday or Saturday for Swinley?

I'm in for Friday morning.

skills session on Saturday morning

I will definitely do that

Will see how I feel this evening about going out tomorrow, just about to ride to Brighton right now
