It's going to be at least 3 weeks for the forks apparently so I'll be on the Cube at sherwood pines next Friday... I've booked next week off to decorate to make sure I could get to pines on the Friday lol.

Annoyingly my riding buddy cames off pretty badly a couple of weeks ago at Pines so any rides you have planned that you don't mind a tag along let me know. I fancy heading back to Llandelga as soon as I get my new bike.

Some amusing photos...

Ouch....thats looks painful......

The next ride that is planned is the one on the weekend of the 22nd which you already mentioned you would probably do along with your GF - Cannock Chase & then Wyre on Sunday for anyone that fancies it.

Other than that, think Dave and I will be doing quite a few over the winter....fancy going to Llandegla again also.

Can categorically state Dalby is one of the best and deffo the toughest trail i have done. Threw up at approx 14 miles.....but made the 22 miles so was chuffed.

Wouldnt have got round if DMC and G hadnt spurred me on. Cheers lads.

Anyone into their Orange bikes? I've seen an Orange Evo for sale but dont know anything/cant find anything out about them! Its the Evo 4 which I believe is a few years old but its had Reba RLs, XT groupset & Raceface crankset fitted. No idea about the wheels though.

Gave up on the Orange as it was a 2004 bike which I thought was pretty expensive for £400. I'm instead looking at the Cube Ltd Race '11 which is on offer at a shade under £900. Anyone got a Cube?!
