Good job you posted that or I would have parked at High Beech and wondered where everyone was....

^ You're going to cause me trouble aren't you NH ;-)

Yes. I'm not returning home before Saturday so I packed up everything last night and loaded up the car. Watch me list everything I've forgotten as the hours roll by until Saturday morning.

Convinced my other half to come along for an intro to the delights of faffing around with shock pumps, tyre pressures, eat... I mean MTB.

Wait.. what.. there's a cake and a Dr Cake now?

I am confuse*

*surprise

Doctor Cake is Howard's other half and is female. cake is male.

But is Howard any type of cake?

A pastry maybe?

Or a tart?

I've never met him. For all I know, he may be a bit of a dish.

I had these names on the original list.

Where are you people?

• Andrew
  
• dicki
  
• mdizzle
  
• Mikey5000
  
• zeez
  
• Texas
  
• J.Dennis
  
• Tenners
  
• Ramaye
  
• malandro (+1 possibly)
  
• Sparkles
  
• Jake
  
• VVV

Whereas I'm more of a pudding :-)

I think Ramaye has broken himself :( Otherwise suggest batch nag via PM.

^ Was considering that. I've seen people forget all about rides on here before. Especially if they're not on here too often.

Heal up soon Ramaye!

I'm only slightly broken, good enough for a bit of off-road. It's Tour of Wessex this weekend so I have three days of tarmac and three nights of boozy camping ahead of me. I will sign up after I return when I know if I can walk.

I will definitely be out on some of these as I will need some slow recovery rides. Not that I am calling you lot slow, well not in the speed sense anyway.

Busy carbo loading right now.

yup planning on being there 10 am saturday ( having looked and checked the first thread many posts i am still not 100% where there is ! )
was it buckhurst hill station ? or am i imagining things ?

I'll stick a link on the first page now.

Saturday morning trains from Liverpool St Station.

If you miss the first train, please try to be on the second one.

They are every 15 minutes, so if you're bring lots of cake then I'll wait for you :-)

.

I'll be riding up from stow.

Waltham upon the stow? Land of my birth and spiritual home?

See you there :-)

Likewise and the same, unfortunately.

Good access to the forest appears to be it's only redeeming feature these days :-(

If anyone as lazy as me wants a lift from Dalston, I've got a spare seat and a spot on the bike rack. Not heading back to London after though, got to go home to Essex.

these days

Why do I keep saying that?

Makes me sound about 60!

home to Essex.

Sorry to hear that ;-)

How can you be lazy if you're offering to put a person and a bike on your tandem? ;)
