    The swim was entirely intentional-that is how real men clean their bikes!

    I just wanted to show those waiting how shit their modern bikes were when an old cunt on a bike older than them could go straight through

    I'm going to have to move there. Yet another region ride cancelled.

    I've ridden my new , like new, bike 3 times since early October and only once on an organised trail ride that was a bit rubbish.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Well if you move down before this weekend you could come on the Mt Torlesse trail ride, that's right we're doing another one

    Not really.

    Fatty pipe gave it a real tune up. Better everywhere and by a large margin.

    Suspension makes it twitchy at speed. Needs a big rethink. Have a plan.

    .Airbox is a sieve, had it burbling in puddles, ok big ones but. ..
    Std tyres are worse than rubbish.

    Moved bars forward position and risers, yet to ride it like that but was struggling to stand up hills.

    It is pretty in blue.

    Meet us at the Sheffield pie shop at 8.15 Sunday, plenty of hills to try it out on this ride

    Hmm, Google sez 9 hrs, travel time. Would have to drop the kids with the in laws a bit early in the morning, or 11 the night before. . .

    Marakura this weekend which is 2.5hr drive, and I can't go to as wife away as a trade for when I went to trail and track day before Markura was supposed to run last month. Both days were rained out serious ugly having had no rain at all for weeks.

    Save me a steak and pepper just in case. Sigh.

    I'm fucked, 3 x33km laps, the last one chasing a retiree who must have just heard it was roast night at the old peoples home and needed to hurry back so he didn't miss out

    Stopped for one person who had their front brakes seize on and then for another guy who was looking very second hand lying on the side of the track but enough people arrived about 1 second before us so we carried on

    Time for some Asahi

    FFS haven't you heard of Bluebridge

    Never mind there's the Kaiwara ride on April 3rd, bit closer as well

    Mint ride! 3 enduro sections has left me feeling pretty secondhand. I did not know hills could be that steep! I watched Flashes Youtube clip.
    Seems he was struggling to keep up with the RMX of Suzuki goodness.
