Quick Q, has anyone got any old off road tyres they no longer use that they would mind me borrowing for the weekend? Just thought I would ask.

Mike - do I need a sleeping bag?
That is why I packed spares, thought someone might want to use them

I have a pair of old Michelin wild grippers, and a pair of brand new Conti Speed Kings - you are welcome to borrow either mate.

My +1 cannot do Saturday so I am wondering whether to do Penmachno first , that way you can pick me up on the way past , and then she can do Sunday which will be Llandegla so she can pick me up on the way past without putting any of you lot out as far as To`ing and Fro`ing goes . Plus Llandegla is an easier ride on Sunday for those that may feel a bit cream crackered after Saturdays shenanigans . I reckon we could do with being at either destination around 9pm , that way we beat the very earlies , miss the late arrivers and we also get to finish the rides before things get too dark . Either way it is not too early a bolt for you lot to get up either .

Depends, someone will have to kip on a floor, so if you want to be the one, bring a sleeping bag! There are three beds, so someone misses out, although there are some cushions (and Matt's airbeds).

Mike - No worries, will pack either a sleeping bag or chuck a spare duvet in Wolfies car. Also, presume Wolfie has your postcode?

Badger - Sounds good on the ride plan.

I'm all packed, leaving work at 12 and then will meet Mr Wolf and Mr Law at mine around 2pm ish. Can't wait.

you'all have a great weekend, hope the weather is kind to you.

Saw a nice Hardtail MTB in Decathlon yesterday, SRAM 9 speed, Avid Juicey brakes, rockshock forks £499.

So I may well go for that unless Halfrauds have a better deal on the Boardman, as both are similar specs

Good bike......needs a few upgrades but can do that over time.
