Mayday Bank Holiday mtb ride

[Arne83]

Excuse my teutonic ignorance, but you are referring to Monday the 2nd of May, correct?

I'm v. keen for that. And none of this Dunkirk style chat "uuuhhh, only if the weather is nice..." MTB's are made for mud, otherwise you might as well ride one of those cyclocrossers...

Discuss.

Count me and Dave L in as well.

I'm not changing my mud x tyres even if it is dusty

[Snoop Doug]

oh it's dusty alright - a dust fest was had today, great fun

[Arne83]

how many we got then? either way, weather looks alright.

and while we're there, someone can explain these disk brakes to me, god i miss those v-brakes already

[Arne83]

ps: i got these weird crankbrothers candy c (eggbeater) pedals. they don't look like they'll accept me clippingin in with my normal shimano (SH 51) cleats. should that work?!
cheers boys!

edit: google reveals, theydo not work together. sigh!

A warning Arnie, there has been a replacement bus service from about Ewell to Dorking today, I've checked the Nation Rail Enquiries website and as far as I can figure out the trains will be running normally tomorrow. But if they're not, you'll have problems - you probably won't be able to take your bike on the bus.

As far as your shimano cleats are concerned, I doubt very much whether you'll manage to get them to work with Eggbeaters.....haven't you tried ?

You should've got the cleats with the bike/pedals if not, you'll have to put your shimano pedals on the bike.

[Arne83]

can't get them off my other bikes, too crusted i'll see what WD40 does overnight...

and yeah, was worried about the trains too, but monday everything is running as normal, so i'll see you all tomorrow. 10.30 on the dot, like last time

[Arne83]

good ride today, apart from the obvious casualty!!

anyone know how he got on at A&E??

[Sylv]

So go on, who’s the newest casualty?

Did someone not manage to unclip of their pedal?

my lovely bike could not not take it anymore jevon shred it in pieces it was not even worth taking it back to croydon so we removed the pedals and left it there in front of nirvana cycles in wescott village
jevon had one of his hardest rides ever i think with that bike

Hi all

It was me who ended up in the East Surrey hospital, the staff were very good by the way.

A big thank you to all of you who managed to get me back to the top of the hill Special thanks to Dave Lovell who got my bike home and picked me up from hospital.

Before the jokes come pooring in I managed to produce a posterior dislocation of my left sholder (yes this had nothing to do with my ass. ) Imagine if the ball joint at the end of your arm came out of it's socket and ended up behind your back

Hurt like hell especially when they relocated it but I'm in one piece and it could have been worse.

Might be a while before I'm back on a bike, but I'll be back
