I'd love to, but I'll have to make some good progress on this BULL**** Flash project I've been working on first (instead of just floundering away at it like I have been).

Bah, I just got invited out for brunch so that's it for me. I may try to pull off some evening rides this week though. Anyone up for an Albion drive? Failing that, the Don is always good times.

riding the don this afternoon, likely with a newbie friend. anyone in for a relaxing tour of the intermediate singletracks? If some of you come out im happy to race around a bit whilst the new guy catches up.

I was riding completely rigid yesterday, and I have to say it rocks serious ass. You lose a bit of control if you pick the wrong line on rocks/roots, but for everything else Im pretty happy, climbs like a goat, tracks beautifully on downhills, and feels lovely all around, and shall I mention I saved nearly six pounds off that crap stock fork I had.

Need fatter tires though. And new wheels. And bars. And levers. And shifters. And stem. And fork. Dammit.

Anyone want to do a short ride for Charlie sometime this month?

It's either that or I'm just going to go out and punch a cabbie in his honour.

I'm glad you guys brought this up. Benway and I want a coming DSR ride to be for Charlie. Same as last year, meet at the fuel and cruise around. We first wanted to talk to his family about bringing a group to visit. What do you all think?

Im sorry I dont know Charlie, what happened to him? I hope Im not being insensitive guys, dont have to answer.

Im having a beer with what seems to be a chipped shin and a happy sense of all being well with the world. Trail season is the best time of year, I just need greaves.
