As in the other thread, I'll have a rack so no need to be faffing with removing wheels and the like

Argh, three days until the Hills Killer, 5 days and I disappear for 3.5 weeks

Not many people on the confirmed list with dates, I assume you're all turning up? - Might be good for Mike to know how many to brace for...

and three days until the Ruthin round of the MTB Marathon for me. Good training for my spin marathon on 25th... (click the link in my sig if you would like to sponsor me)

Drew my bike's only a cheapish hardtail, ask Girth - best thing on it is the disc brakes, the forks are cheap Suntour ones that aren't up to much, so I wouldnt worry about what you're riding, it'll still be a giggle.

I wouldn't worry about fitness either, I haven't been on my MTB since March so if I do come I'm pretty sure I'll be in the worst shape out of all of us!

A mate at work has just challenged me to a 35 mile lung-buster in the Peak District the Monday after (25th) so methinks I really need to get out there and start getting some practice in!

Sorry guys but I'm now a definite non-attendee - I had failed to notice that this is the same weekend as a friend's 30th birthday and my presence at her birthday party is compulsory and non-negotiable!

Have fun, see you at TOMBWWII if there is one!

My excuse is even better than Andy's!

Yes, I have to attend a birthday party too.

No, not some spurious, unnamed mate or a distant Aunt.

No,

I forgot my own daughter's 11th Birthday.

Mrs BP is the social secretary, I blame her for not putting it on the calender.

Sorry.

Pete

Ok, even though I can't make this weekend, what about this for my new MTB? Price is what I was thinking of paying, plus this is supposedly reduced by £550.

Seems like a good spec, and I'd prefer a hard tail
