No worries it was a last minute decision for me,yea let me know if your going ?

I'm going to be riding in FOD this Sunday, @Doomanic may make it and he usually shows me around. If Dom can't, I can remember how to get to Shutcastle and Dowies and the Mallards Pike trails we did on the group rideout last week, do you know your way around @Gibspark ?

@murz100 can you do Sunday?

Anyone else?

 

[Gibspark]

Hi Ryder77- no don’t know my way round yet as still fairly new to FoD. What time do you want to meet in the morning? I will need to leave around 2 ish..

 

[Doomanic]

I'll try to be there, hopefully I won't get too wet tomorrow.

 

[Doomanic]

Next time we ride Mallards we'll park at Go Ape to save both time and battery.

 

[Ryder77]

@Gibspark hows about a 10.30am start?

[Gibspark]

yep- 10:30am start suits perfect- meet you guys at Cafe in cycle centre. I am on blue spesh levo with white helmet. Looking forward to it

 

[Gibspark]

Had a great time today chaps- thanks to all for the good banter and sublime off-piste.
Maybe catch up again next Sunday to do Mallards

I also had a smashing time, literally turns out when I came off I fractured my hand at the knuckle of the little finger, just spent 3 hrs in a&e so no ridding for me probably till 2020 ?

 

[Doomanic]

If you need someone to keep your bike up to speed just give me a shout...

Sorry to hear that JSD, if it’s any consolation the weather looks shit for a while anyway

Take care Damo

Anyone riding this weekend? Preferably Sunday

 

[Doomanic]

Not me I’m afraid. Out on the piss Saturday night and out with the long haired general on Sunday.

 

[Ryder77]

I'm up for Sunday, 10:30 start? @Gibspark may be too

 

[Tom_199]

This could work
@murz100 you around on Sunday?

 

[murz100]

Yes I’m up for Sunday
What’s the plan ?

 

[Tom_199]

I'm happy for suggestions depending on what people fancy. Mallards pike again if you are happy to repeat the same few trails we did last time but with some slight alternative sections/ endings.
Or stick to the trail centre and few surrounding off piste trails? i don't know the trail centre too well so would look for someone to take the lead if we stick around there?

 

[murz100]

mallards ?

 

[Ryder77]

Let's meet at the Mallards Pike/Go Ape car park if everyone is good with Mallards

 

[Gibspark]

Hi Chaps- i have a family commitment tomorrow- apologies!!! good for next weekend though on Sunday. Have a great ride!!

 

[Tom_199]

10:30 outside the mallards pike cafe then?

 

[Doomanic]

Anyone about this weekend?

 

[Tom_199]

Potentially yes. What you thinking?

What he's thinking is this :

Unfortunately, reality is more likely to be this :

I must apologise if that's politically incorrect .. or just plainly incorrect ..

It could be more like this. What he sees out on the trails :
