newbiehello.
I picked up your link through singletrack forum. I've been down south a couple of years (this stretch) and been riding for a few more before that. I would love to meet up with some likeminded people for a stretch round epping. already had a few rides up there but I always feel I've missed bits. Its much more fun being shown rides than stop/starting with the map.lazy but true. I'm from the lake district so i'm happy with most terrain/riding ,though northshore /freeriding isn't so compatable with me spd's! My Orange Sub 5 is the love of my life with an Evo 4 for training and playing out. I like cake ,am not a nutter and sometimes like to enjoy a combustable reward  pre/post and sometime during rides.
I like to work hard on the bike an get as much satisfaction from a good climb as an average downhill. If i sound compatable ,then i'd be glad to hook up around work committments etc. I'm gonna go up to high beech tommorrow (june 9 Friday) for a solo play. via kentish town/stamford hill/lea valley canal to chingford etc. say hello if you see me .......... p.s sorry to go on........ |

hello Mick the Greek
ride was great thank you ,though i always seem to lose my bearings on the way back down to the resovoirs.(end up on the fire track etc.) i've been trying to build my fitness up so i hoofed it round . its a totally different ride to what i'm used to,took a bit of time to get into the swing of the mud ruts! thank you very much for the offer for this weekend. unfortunatelyi have to work both sat & sun  so i'll have to take a rain check.sorry. ( I normally work 5 day double days 6am-2pm/2pm-10pm)
incidentally, whats the best way to south woodford from kentish town? Is the bikeshed a shop? also managed to find the (b)eastway circuit on thurs. didn't know you needed money to ride it,so i was unprepared.  arse.
place was full of roadies anyway,is wednesday the only day for mtb? do people race full sussed or hard tail on the racenights? sorry about all the questions but i've been starved of two wheeled conversation for too long now
hope to catch up soon. J. |
