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

Can't do the weekend after as it's Jonny's ride on the saturday and you know I can't miss polo.
Good luck on the 12hours dude.

I can't do the next couple of weekends but really want to test out my new bike. Any one up for a decent ride on 21 or 22 June. I've got a good loop around a few of the hills near Dorking. Will Prav make it the week after MM or will be all mayhemed out?

I'll make it! Just to see your giant sized bike.
I hope to have improved enough so that i don't walk any of the singletrack...

if it's a saturday, im in.

OOPS! I just remembered that Mountain Mayhem is ON 21st / 22nd June..
Momentum, you can lead a breakaway group mate.. the following Saturday will also be fine for me.

Good catch - I actually meant the one after MM cos I doubt I'll be able to head out for two weekends in a row.

hmmmmm... i'm confused.. which weekend? this weekend? next? the one after???? i'm up for a ride on any of them...
prav and roberto, if i don't see you before enjoy the mayhem and good luck ;-D

I'm not surprised - I managed to completely confuse myself! I'm going to do a longish loop (20 - 25 miles) around the Dorking hills on 28 or 29 June. A few decent hills and lots of nice singletrack. Prav's definitely coming and I'm sure Rob can be persuaded. Everyone else is welcome to come too!

yes 28 or 29 - i'm in

well done roberto! 14 laps solo of bristol bikefest is a top effort. that's about 130kms of mtb'ing! how did prav go??

Something about a semi-punctured lung - Trampsparadise got a text yesterday about it - Provenrad posted something about it on the West Bike Polo thread - no details I'm afraid

I dropped out after 6 laps mate.. 5 crashes and 10 chain deraillings (need new freewheel) chest pains + back pain. Legs felt fine though! Doing it fully rigid was difficult!
I went for x-ray yesterday, seems I slightly messed up a rib and also earned a partially collapsed lung (spontaneous pneumothorax) :-O

This has totally fucked up my training plans. I shouldn't ride at all till the weekend.

Ouch! Hope you get better dude!

Thanks fatboyralph! Just did the entry for the Trek Twentyfour in july, wanna come along?

fck, that's bad prav. riding rigid is very unforgiving. those bastards on full-sus have it easy ;)
hope you're ok to continue for mountain mayhem. that titanium frame/eccentric hub combo is not working out for you...put some gears on!

rob, where/when's this trek event? post the link...ill check it out. only have some cheapo lights tho

Here you go:

I will be doing the race that starts at midnight on saturday... all other categories are full

URGENT ALERT!!
Our team-mate james was injured- the prognosis is not good - his knee is screwed + he can't ride!
If anyone is up for stepping up and taking his place then please get in touch with Roberto / Myself.
please please please please please.

Mountain Mayhem is on friday - Sunday 20-22nd this weekend.
We will go down on Friday night and Camp for the night, 6 hours riding each. :-)
Available to loan - rigid 17.5" Kona Koa MTB suits 5.10+?

sorry I've been MIA recently I've had no internet at home. I've had a few stand ins ready in case this happened. I've tried to call you (roberto/prav) gimme a call and let me know what you're thinking. Pete.

Prav - I got your message and think I would be able to join you guys and ride. Give me a shout and let me know. Hope your lung is ok, sounds like you need gears on that frame since the ENO is causing so much grief!

someone's givinbg away a free plaece to the mayhem here.

Jon we need your energy for the race!!!

b) i'm doing the stonehenge ride on fri night and bridges sat
c)i sold my mtb

:(

Jon we need your energy for the race!!!

I'm up for it dude! Will need to sort some stuff out quickly though i.e. lights and a gear shifter. Anyone have a 9 speed shimano shifter they don't want? I can't face doing it singlespeed after reading the course description - there's a 1.5 mile climb at the start of every lap!

I have a 10 watt (2x5) halogen setup you can borrow. I don't think it would last 6 hours on double beam though, I think that would be it's limit on single beam.
