I'm flying to New Zealand on Saturday so wont be about.

I'll be riding loads when I'm back so will make an effort to drag you boys around Danbury!

Bibo - the bike isn't important, if I'm guiding nobody gets left to fix a puncture on their own, and we ride at the pace of the slowest rider.

Flow-formed frame for extra strength but very light

Short notice I know, but I will be making my way over the Thorndon Park (near the Halfway House) for a ride today.

Probably about 11.00 - 11.30-ish I'm guessing. Leaving shortly but have a couple of errands to run first

Are you just a " Fair weather " Biker or are you going to ride through the winter into next spring ?

Getting out in the cold & wet mud is very appealling to me

All seasons mate!

My next purchase will be some "crud-catchers" to keep down some of the mud, but I will definitely be out in all weathers!

There were a few muddy patches today in the woods where the sun hadn't reached the ground to dry it out.......straight through and keep on going!

Replied to your pm big boy!

Went out again on Sunday morning. Got absolutely covered in mud, from head to toe.....BRILLIANT fun!

Bloody knackering though!

Took an hour to clean all the mud off the bike!

There are almost as many upgrades/mods possible for a MTB as a scoob, you'll love it!

Been out twice since xmas, on me old Specialised Penny Farthing.

Don't think I could last a whole day out with Fozzie, but if there is a 'Lardy Oldtimers' group at the back, i'll join you.

We need to reduce the weight of the TA car and Driver - so maybe Mike should join in!
