Cheers mate, I'll have a look tonight and work out where I need to go. I'm guessing you don't go in the visitor centre way |

Are you going on the day Gaz or staying up for the weekend. I keep hoping to wake up near some kind of full fitness. I've been to the docs today and he did I have a viral infection but I feel a bit better and had the best nights sleep for over a week. So hoping for some great improvement and if I feel good on Friday then I'm in with a shout. At the moment though probably 25/75 chance.

I had a ride out around Sidwood fire roads yesterday in the faint hope that I might make this ...but I won't .
I am however heartened by the fact that the knee is no worse this morning ..so I am on the way back ( yay ! )
Hope you all have a great ride and look forward to hearing what you thought about it ...

I assume it's a 10am start Ant unless I hear otherwise. Looking forward to it and forecast is not bad either.
Shame you can't make it Neil, but good to hear you've been out on your bike. I've not been out for a couple of weeks and had a cold so maybe a little rusty!!! ;-)

I'm packed up and ready for a 7am fitness test, whereafter I'll be setting off for great days (but steady for me) riding or brooding all day over what I ve missed out on.
Hope to see you all there tomorrow. Current chances gone from 25/75 to 80/20.

I'm on it now confirmed. May be bringing my mate Barry along, he's just waiting to get his pass stamped. I'll be along regardless. Off to the pub now for obligatory pre ride-day pints (that's my fitness test)  See ya'll at ten. That includes you too Kirky. |

I won't be there. Struggling with either a chest infection or I'm developing asthma. Docs aren't sure yet. Either way I can't breathe properly and anything more strenuous than a slow walk leaves me knackered. Hope you all have a good ride.

Sorry to hear that Andy. A good snort of bronchial dilators could sort it of course.. short term only, and not on prescription. But joking aside, I hope its just a short course of anti-biotics and back to destroying trails again. Still make it to the Kielder BBQ next weekend??
Meant to add Barry not gonna make it.. he got squished!

I`d have liked to have come on this one but due to my mtb mojo disappearing somewhere between my last ride on holiday in Scotland in july (rode 4 of the 7stanes )and riding guisburn forest 5 weeks ago I`d have struggled to get halfway round today.i did a couple of hours on the froggy last week for some not too serious gravity shiz and hopefully same again tomorrow but just can`t muster any enthusiasm for xc.hope you all have a good day,maybe next time......

So you left your XC mojo up in Scotland did you Paul ?
If it passes by my door I will send it back first class ..
We all go through phases like this ..I'm sure you will get it back though ..your'e way too young for it to have gone forever ..
See you on a trail somewhere in the future ...

Brilliant ride today chaps/ lady, good bunch of people to go for a ride with, would definitely do this again.
To say I'm knackered is probably an understatement, worth it though for the awesome descents.
Sorry for calling you Kev, Kev!!!
