I'm also working but would book the Sunday off of Degla is chosen! It might well be Degla, I had fun last time I was there! See who else will be keen and go from there?

Went to Degla with some of the guys from here before, did the End of the World (or what ever it's called) unmarked add on bit as well, after the 30 miles I'd done the previous day around Cannock I was well and truly fucked by the end of it.
Fuck it, shall we say Degla?

Well I've stripped the Knolly, only thing left on there is the headset and KS Lev dropper. As soon as I get the Banshee I'll list it up for sale with all those parts. Getting excited! Good job I live alone, a female would probably get quite angry..

Yeah, meant Degla of course! Never been to Chase!? It's good it's not massively challenging at all up or down If your more than an hour ish away you'd wanna spend the day there 2 3 hours to lap thr trails then spend the afternoon off piste and on thr dh trails there's nothing there mental and plenty of runs for all skill levels few mins push up Cough mtb-uk.co.uk/thread/3637/weekend-southerner-wants-visit-canock cough Quickly organised forum ride?

I've got a rare weekend off and should hopefully have the Banshee built up. Any of you Cannock locas fancy giving a tall twat another blast around the off piste stuff? Either day is fine for me.

I'll throw in a vote for the Troy Lee A1, can get a bit warm, but super comfy!

It's not needed,but it adds the little bit of extra security when you're really hammering the rough stuff. Round the local trail centre? Not 100% needed tbh.

Fort Bill is definitely one on the list, I'm not 100% on the other, only really have 4 days or so of riding, with all the traveling as well it's gonna be tough.

This is all kit transferring over from the Knolly mostly. And I'm off on a weeks biking trip up North and Scotland in June/July, Fort Bill being one of them. Fancy having that stopping power from the 203's in case I need it. give us a shout if your near the Tweed Valley Seb I'm not 100% sure where we're going to be heading yet, but we plan on hitting most of the big Northern trail centres.
