Surrey Hills - Emtb Forum 19th Sept

[R120]

My Brose has just started making all sorts of clattering noises, who wants to place a bet to see how far I make it round the loop on Sunday before it implodes?

Dont worry you can go buy a Santa Cruz in Pedal and Spoke and get back on the ride if it goes tits up

Are they ever open anymore? It seems a bit random.

 

[Doomanic]

I think I will leave my phone in the car this time

Bugger. I was planning on obtaining an upgrade on Sunday...

 

[JetSetDemo]

That must explain why my lost phone appeared on find my iPhone in a gay bar before going dark

 

[R120]

I had totally forgotten you lost your phone, feck that was a mare.

 

[R120]

When they look open they are shut, and when they look shut they are open - hard to tell these days

 

[VWsurfbum]

I ran out of battery on that first forum ride and I lost my 2 week old iPhone X.

I think I will leave my phone in the car this time but I must confess my 630w EP8 isn’t going to allow me to use more than eco without gambling on an unpowered ride back to the car.

There wont be any turbo/boost sprinting at any point, Eco all the way unless you're gonna be a #Stravashole on the downs?

Hi, I'm Doom, I don't think we've met...

If you have range anxiety, why don't you take the clit instead of the penis extension?

But how will people know I’ve got a SC ???

 

[pampmyride]

I may well join you on Sunday (he said with one eye on the weather!). Happy to lead a second group round if too many show up...
Cheers, Mike, Haibike allmtn7.

 

[R120]

Damn I though the ride was tomorrow, not Sunday, and that counts me out. Damn - should pay closer attention ?‍

 

[Spud666]

I'll tag along if thats ok. Dont know my way around. Blue hiace and black cube stereo.

Cheers

 

[Jimbo Vills]

Unfortunately i'm out also. I have a work thing on now on Sunday. Fortunately it's a corporate day at Goodwood Revival so every cloud...

Enjoy the ride chaps, definitely need to sort another out soon if any others are up for it?

 

[JetSetDemo]

Shame it’s not Saturday as the weather looks better tomorrow

 

[Doomanic]

If it's hoofing down ahm oot.

 

[VWsurfbum]

i think we'll be good.

[MrSimmo]

Should be good, some awesome trails lined up in that route. I’ll wander around asking strangers if theyre part of a special online forum looking for you guys ?

Makes me think I should have bought one of the forum tops ?‍

 

[VWsurfbum]

yeah not sure how i'm going to identify myself yet as i'll be on a Santa Cruz that came in a van???

Maybe i'll get a smoke bomb or just have a siren or something LOL

 

[Sirwincealot]

That's a good point.. how will we know everyone's arrived? There's a few folks travelling from afar who might get delayed in traffic etc.

It'd be a bugger to head off without them... leave no man behind and all that

 

[MrSimmo]

We could all meet where Ive dropped the red pin by the entrance for around 9:00-09:15 and then head off bang on 09:30?

If someone is late they could message here?

 

[Sirwincealot]

Nice one, sounds like a plan. I'll aim to park over that side as well (grey Audi A4 estate). I'll be on a black Rail with a blue/white POC helmet.

[cl0nd0n]

Evening chaps - myself and @Mikehorti can make it on Sunday now! Luckily my fork came back from SRAM tech centre just in time! See you about 9.15! We will be riding over from Cranleigh so anyone over this way that wants the fun of Barhatch Lane first thing is welcome to join us! Will be on Cube 140 & Whyte 150RS!

 

[GMLS]

Keep posting up future rides as I'd be keen. I'm happy to show a few around Leith Hill and the other secret place ;-)

 

[Doomanic]

meet where Ive dropped the red pin by the entrance for around 9:00-09:15

6am start for me then...

then head off bang on 09:30?

You're new to this group ride lark aren't you?

Can you post the link for the dropped pin please? I assume this is where we are parking?

Looking good for tomorrow, scorchio over there today and hopefully the smidgin of dampness won't effect us.
We'll be well done by 15:00.
See you at the red dropped pin, I hope it's visible

 

[VWsurfbum]

Been preparing well today, new pads fitted, sticky chain link sorted and then Rum, Curry and hot tub.
DH on.
See you on the mountain. View attachment 71868
