Guided rides around Epping Forest ( aka Follow the strange tall man into the woods )

It absolutely pissed down here all day

Ah well, Walthamstow needs a good clean every now and again.

Shouldn't go searching for the mud spikes just yet though :-)

Have you managed to sort out what you referred to as your 'knackered' mtb?

New chain is going on in the morning, and I plan to swap over pedals and re index the gears too.

^ Last minute bike tinkering.

What could possibly go wrong.....

It works as is. Just knackered and tired.

Sounds like me.

I am anticipating a certain amount of pre-ride bike faffage. Hoping there won't be anything major though. I can only do so much with a multi tool and a leatherman :-)

Hi all, I may show up tomorrow, depending on if i can wake up on time

^ Ok Oliver. Hopefully see you tomorrow.

I can no longer make coffee stop tomorrow but might on Sunday. Will liaise. Does Oliver Ball need an early morning alarm call or is it more serious than that?

OUT. I'm working unfortunately.

^^^^My dolan with a spinergy rev x front ;) Ha, nah, its my dads old mountain bike, not too cool, but minor, it'll do the job for now until the inbred arrives. Shoosh, ill need all the help i can get i imagine. I have enlisted the help of phone alarm clock and other alarm clock for 8 so, I'll try my best to wake up as this sounds like it'll be good fun (Y)

PM me your number and if I remember/am awake will phone you too if you want.

Tell me where you live and I will come over and watch you sleep for a bit, then cough loudly at 0745.

That's not creepy is it?

Thats what gets me to sleep the quickest...

Ok folks, I shall be on here until 09:00. I can't read anything on the forum after that time.

After 9am contact me on **My Mobile **

Am ringing Oliver... 3 times so far and he hasn't answered. He must be a dead sleeper.

Ah, it seems he was just getting out of the bath. Should have video called him x

You should have just called Alfie and he could have prodded him a bit ;-)

Some things up with my cranks and errythang. A real horrible grating sound after every turn so ima pull out. Fuck sake. I'll try make a ride though. Have fun all!

Hm, I might actually be able to make tomorrow. However, if I don't get some new tyres I will get about 12 punctures; anyone got any 26" skinwall mtb tyres they need rid of?
