Sandpit Sunday? 6.6.10

[Reckless]

Everyone used to have to wait for me, now I have to wait for them

Don't let Barty hear you say that LOL!!!

Don't you like the nickname Evan gave you??

Ha Ha Rupert, Reckless knows me a lot better than you give him credit for! It's your hole, you dug it, worming out of it now?

Nice try Evan!!!

I've simply decided to hate you both LOL!!!

AND will you stop using my name the girls will catch on and I'll never make it out on the bike!! LOL!!!

I havent riddin my bike since we had a play with the suspension, didn't get a chance to get any riding in over the long weekend.
want to have ago at Fells farm, but thinking i should go to the sandpit first just too check out what the bike handles like.

Oh what to do.

Mate your suspension set up at woodhill wont even be close for ken fells they are two completly different terrains, if you are revalved for crosscountry trail riding type tracks you will need to do some testing with compression settings or you will find ya self kicked over the bars even if you dont do the jumps. That track is so fast and hard.

[Reckless]

Nah, just had a look one day. They don't do practice sessions so guess you just have to jump in and give it a crack

LIke the T100 you doin it or WHAT??? I have the accommodation sorted!

We set the sag up and set everything else to factory as a start point for him to fiddle with from there.

Have you raced Fells Andy?? Whatya reckon use my fast trail riding setting or Ardmore/Mercer (Jumps) setting as a starting point??

[cheese]

yep happy with that!
Kept my place in the Que with a bunch that pretty much doesn't ride but races everywhere LOL!!!
Not taking it hard, I'd rather be Mr May in your bunch than the Townley in a slower bunch! There's always someone faster eh! unless your name is Birch!! LOL!!!

Where we riding next week?
Was thinking about Fells, seeing it was posponed (I quite like the fast suff).
But if I'm serious about the T100 I'd probably be better trying to get my ride time to 4 hours with less rest time out the sandpit?
Say 2-3, 1.5 hour non stop sessions?? That might get me through 2-3 laps if I'm lucky and its not pissng down at the T100???

Ha ha I think I started that James May nickname after following Rick through one of the tracks at woodhill! Haha!

Rick if your serious about the T100, do it. Its an experience and buzz that is like no other race I've done. Not that I've done many races, but its pretty intense! Just start on your fitness now and hit it hard. Its only 1 month till the race. I'd try to eat right and cut out the booze until the race too. You'll be fine in the race, I just entered each time with a positive attitude and treated it a bit like a trail ride. Second year I did it I did alot more fitness, just the rain let me down from doing another lap......

[Reckless]

Rick if your serious about the T100, do it...

I'm only doing it if Rupe comes to?? He started all this!!!!

[cheese]

Next year I'm in, this year well I'll have a few day old baby in the house.... that would be just rude to go racing! LOL

[2fitty]

i like riding the sandpit saturdays before everyone cuts it too pieces, havent been up for a while and all this rain should help

[Reckless]

Sat usually better but the last two weekends Sunday has been fine as well. Ktm boy is looking after the place real well atm.

Nothin wrong with whoops though I always go Sunday if I go more fun!

[buffstar]

Theres a bunch of us heading out Sunday - havnt found a huuuuge ammount of difference from one day to the next ..... but I could just be unobservant?
Anyway with the weather up here the last cpl of days it will be all about the PUDDLES whoop whoop. Woodhill is at its best in the winter - despite those damn cows

[99CR250]

i got up there earlyish this morning, conditions perfect, started up the track and found my clutch is faucked. huge sigh. it was working perfectly last time i road. this was also my first time at woodhill in about 3 years, had been psyched about the ride. thought i'd fix it today and ride tomorrow but phoned around and couldn't get new plates. so unless anybody happens to have a set of clutch friction plates for a 99 CR250 i won't be up there until i get parts

Enjoy your ride!

[2fitty]

we were also up there early this morning, weather and trails were mint, heaps of BIG puddles for you buffstar, cows were well behaved today just gotta look out for the cow pat mine fields
