Hi everyone,

As I said in the other thread, I'm interested in joining you, but the first week I can make it happens to be one where you need to know a little bit about what you're doing.

So would anyone mind dragging me around? Or I could join a pair to make three, as I won't contribute much to navigation, so not much unfair advantage! I know the area fairly well, but not all the trails you can ride on. Happy to ride any pace, up to say about 45 km in 2.5 hours.

Mike

Mike, in the unlikely event that you don't find a partner or team to join you'll be welcome to ride with me. I won't be riding competitively tonight but will have a pootle to the pub. Tony

Hi Mike

I'll team up with you. This assumes you are Ok with: -Pace steady, local knowledge pretty good.



see you c. 7.25 at the Japas Bento Box

Tom R

Pace steady? Watch out, Mike - that means he'll be doing 30mph on his 29er

Dom

HI BBD.
Are you recovered enough to join us tonight?
Lance tells me 'it is not about the bike', and he should know.
But I think the 29er does make it marginally less difficult.

cheers

Tom

Tom, I didn't know you had a direct line to the big man himself. Are you sure you want to maintain the association, given the regard he's now held in??

Alison and I are venturing out - I've been given the all-clear by my physio for biking (although squash is still a few weeks off yet). Nonetheless, I think I will be applying the 'pace steady' criteria!

See you later
Dom

... and before anyone else gets in, I will be applying the 'local knowledge pretty good' criteria to the very best of my ability - which some people have slanderously and/or libellously labelled as very poor - even to the extent of recognition by way of award.

We won last time eh Dom, and you can't say it was my navigation that swung it either as we were both pretty hopeless....

I can't come out tonight as Ade is at a trade show and won't be back in time.

That's a shame, Claire. We'll have a beer for you!

Dom

Great, thanks. See you tonight
