Totara Park Ride - This up-coming weekend (26-27 September)

[Ride it till the red]

Thanks Midget! I hope you kick arse at the 2Man! I'm sure you will find it so much better with new tyres (which I dont have - not sure if I want to spend more dosh on it if I'm going to get a new bike...eventually!).
I wish I lived closer too, that'd be awesome! I think that rain you've got is heading down this way today and tomorrow..!

What size are your tires crfchick? And how worn are they? If your 18 inch rear I'm pretty sure I've got a decent one kicking around here somewhere that I could do ya on the cheap if ya wanted.... Haven't had an 18 for a while and don't see it happening anytime soon!

Thanks RITTR! I'm pretty sure my rear tyre is an 18, they're just the standard CRF230 wheels so I guess they must be! I'll check when I get home but how used is the tyre and what sort of dosh do you want for it?

Dont be a cheap bastard - give it to her for free ....

Yeah I'd say it is then. Just went down and checked and she's a 120/100/18 so a reasonably wide one too for decent grip. As for how used, not new but not been used too much by the looks... It looks how I'd expect one of mine to look after 3-4 rides put it that way... Dunno what ones worth to be honest, been a while since a bought a second hand tire. Pay my entry on sunday and it's yours? If thats fair? I don't mind chucking it on for you if need be too

Oh and Secondfield, shutup ya slimy bastard!

Cool you're getting another tyre. Haven't you had new tyres on the bike at all? It will improve resale value anyway! Really need them good for riding on the wet grass and in the mud! What's your front one like? Ooh yuck, the underpants washing doesn't sound great! Definitely get the help putting the tyre on though, looks like a pain in the butt doing that!! You go girl! Can't wait to see pictures! Apparently you're not trying hard enough if you don't fall off! LMAO!

good stuff man. There's a really cool one of a quad spinning up and sideways on the second page. How can you be bothered pulling out the cam so much when riding? good work

Good snaps Pete. Surprised the lens didn't fog up when in the bush, given the amount of huffing and puffing that was going on to get up some of those slippery, root infested uphills!! Took me 2 hours to clean the bike - great!!

[motor_mayhem]

I didn't get finished my first round til about 1:30 and by then all the food was gone

Hard work in the mud, my radiator was spewing steam a bit

coz i'm an unfit bastard, stopping is good! plus they're good to look at when i'm sitting hurting at work on monday.

yeah there were a couple of fun uphills (fun to watch from the top anyway). i think i need to replace my tyres a little more often, my mate had sharp edges on his new tyres and he went up no problem.
