Got my bikes hanging on the decking at the moment.
All cleaned down and new pads on the dale.
May be looking for new brakes if I can't get these to feel how I want them to.
I'm still a massive fan of my old Maguras.

Hi Andy, course you can tag along....its not Mill Green NP......its the Birches Valley Visitor Centre you want......

Check here for the main site....
http://chasetrails.co.uk/

And here is the route map that can be printed....
http://chasetrails.co.uk/images/maps/ftd_cc_map.pdf

Unless anyone has any objections, may aswell do the full 15 miles......but it will not be a race. I will probably end up walking most of the "ups" so i can enjoy the "downs" as I am proper unfit at moment.

Chainring bolt is in the post, plus a spare, so should get to you tomorrow, Friday at worst unless Pat loses it.

Hope it fits, they're all the same as far as I'm aware

Cheers guys. Only got a remote lockout to mount on the bars now, have replaced forks and wheel set so I'm hoping it's all ok The chainring bolt is to mount a rear mech hanger to the frame, hopefully it'll fit!

What else do I need to bring apart from food,water,spare tube,pump? Don't have much in the way of tools etc as I'm trying to build it all up!
