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

@James
What I tend to do is include sections that are good locations for skills training (short steep slope, off camber corners, rock garden etc) within overall rides, thats if clients want something to supplement rides.
Theres always the idea of half days with skills focus, then leave the longer days out for the flow, as stopping to talk stuff through and practise actions can also detract from fun riding.leave it with you.

After some light, cheap rigid 26" disc only forks for my mtb, needs a really long steerer. any one have anything kicking about?

I've got a Kona project ii kicking around - how much steerer do you need? PM me if interested.

I unfortunately missed out on entry for Hell Of the North Cotswolds 2012. It looks like it was fully subscribed within hours.

I'm looking for an entry transfer if possible.

February 5th 2012, Wales - Dyfi winter warm up. Awesome ride around the Dyfi forest in Machylleth.

Details:

"Ladies and Gents remember this “The Dyfi Winter Warm Up” an ideal ride to test your legs and technical skills in Dyfi Forest on the 5th February. Same format as last year when you can decide on the day to do 12m, 20m or 28m. I am getting to the stage when I will need to order bits and bobs and need to know who’s in. Please passthis e-mail to any of your cycling friends who may like to sample Dyfi".

Up for the Dyfi Warm Up.

So....Swinley sat am anyone?

Yep
Shall i check to see if any skills training going on or do we just want to ride?

Skills would be a bonus, happy just to ride though :)

no training this week, so when do people want to start?

Need to be back in town by 2ish so an early start works for me.

Aim for 9.30 at the lookout at swinley

its no joke, this brokeback mountain bike club

If anyone is looking for a hardtail frame, that has never been ridden, I have a Marin Rocky Ridge alu frame - size medium - up for sale.

As seen here
I bought the complete bike as a donor bike, and would like to offer it up here first before ebay gets it. Never ridden.

Would be interested in going out this saturday if anyone else is... I'm not very good, but enjoy getting muddy!

Oh, and I'm on an all steel rigid singlespeed, so you'll probably leave me for dust.
