Me and CG will be turning up in a black clio, parking in the car park next to route start point 
CG has a white Lapierre Spicy, I have a blue Marin Wolfridge.
Would give you a phone number but I dont think there is a signal up there.

Ah but which option will Karma choose...?
You having a spectacularly horrific crash and springing to your feet giggling as the crowd gasps in astonishment that you're still alive or...
Somebody else having a minor off and fecking themselves up real good...
I reckon the 2nd!

I'm confused! What's the reader tip? (My copy of mbr is in someones workshop...)
Just read on the AA site it'll take us 3.5 hrs to get to kielder - That means I'll be getting up about 0700 on a weekend like some kind of savage!

That was a good laugh today!
Hilights included:
Rob_A nearly passing out.
The crazy Scot pinning it everywhere.
Following said crazy Scot and keeping up!
(Not witnessed by me) Mr League's dismount with tuck and roll.
Being 1st to the top!
Low points:
Puncturing a tubeless tyre.
Puncturing the innertube I put in to fix said puncture.
The rain that Rob predicted at 4pm turning up with a vengence...
Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. Hope we all get to ride together soon!

24" of travel and counting...

The Photos have been uploaded. If any of you want to download them go to my flickr account you can get to it from the post in the lounge, well this one.
http://www.mbr.co.uk/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/18128/an/0/page/0#18128
But I'll put most of them on here anyway. 
And then it rained.
Good company thank you all.
Not a lot of video but will have to work on it as a short, to follow.

And the video.....
Apologies for it not being up to the usual standard, I did not have much to work with, and a high quality version would take ages to upload, is the music appropriate?

Yep was def a good day out, really enjoyed it.
10/10 for MTBleagues acrobatics - myself, Rob_A and Mrs SLB all just watched in awe as he rolled out of the crash picked his bike up and continued on his way!
I hate all the rocks with the painted on markings though - for some reason I found them really off putting. (Well, that's my excuse for looking slow on the vid!)
