Mountain Mayhem, Our Name Up in Lights, Team: London FGSS.com

i was just looking at the names to face/ bikes prav and saw your mtb, you've got bigger stones than i have riding the mayhem ss rigid, i'm going to make it as easy as possible for me all the way....

hehe - well it would only make sense if we all are SS...? hint-hint ;-)
otherwise I have some gearie bits ready to put on and I'll run 1x8..

i can't run the bike i'm riding fixed but i could run it ss, that'd be an odd bike to see, full suss single speed 29er.

A little later intended but good work guys. Monday was great fun, sorry my knee prevented me finishing the ride.

^ Photos of people dancing always look a bit weird, eh?

How did it go then guys? Ride report?

Hey tommy, the ride was great fun, pics HERE.
7.45am: met at Victoria stn. for the 8.17 train to Hove.
Once there we decided not to bother with getting a train to Portslade and rode straight uphill to Devils Dyke. We stopped for some adjustments, tinkering and watched the paragliders take off from the car-park.
From this start point we left the tarmac and rode West along the South Downs Way, the going was easy, the sun was shining, and once again it was really nice to be out of london..
As we approached the furthest point on the loop, Emilie had to bail, so we escorted him back to civilisation and tried to carry on the route. I am quite pleased about getting back on-route, but missed a couple of bridleway turnings and we found ourselves heading towards the sea at Shoreham instead. This looked tempting, as it was hot-hot-hot! and Roberto is a roadie at heart. ;-)
We rode along the coast from Shoreham back to Brighton, stopping at a cafe for a well-earned late lunch.
Brighton was rocking as usual, not as busy as we would have expected given the glorious weather, but plenty of crowds along the seafront...

The 4-6 hours stated on the website was excessive, we went at a leisurely-ish pace and took just over 4. Our actual off-roading was reduced from the stated 39miles, but the seafront was too good to pass up!

This beame more of a challenging leisure ride than training, good to get more miles on the MTBs, technical stuff will come up next week a bit more!

fo shizzle

brilliant ride

Roberto was telling me about something the other night, and I've just discovered some other mates are doing some mountain mayhem thing.

I am a retard I just realised I am working this sat morning as well so can't do this have fun people.

The killer Loop was fun but my knee still hurts a bit after all the hills. Think it's time to sort out my bike position before I head out for another long ride so don't thinki I'll make it this weekend

this saturday's ride still on? where to? bike's in the shop for much needed service but will be ready in couple of days.

Hey man - yes saturday ride is on - shall we say meet at 8am at clapham? get the train down to dorking? My number is in the phone numbers thread - 3rd post down.
I am a city boy and we will probably get lost misplaced, but it will be good to get out again! I have some new forks so extra incentive to ride (rigid steel on-ones if anyone cares?).

Object, scott, you still in?
Also ROberto should be coming too... but he's even worse than me with directions..

I am super busy tonight, and not got internet at home, so anyone coming please send me a text or something so that we know to wait..

Peace!

looks like it will be pretty wet. any idea what are the trails like down there. are they still rideable after few hrs of soaking??

Scott and I are out as we're going to buy a kitchen tomorrow morning and I need to do a shit load of measuring up for the wardrobe and halfpipe.

Sorry dude.

Can't make it saturday as there is a jumble in Herne Hill :(

But i am up for sunday tho

Coool - as it is just fbr and me tomorrow we shall sort something out...
