Me and Whitedog are going to attempt the Worlds end route that was originally planned for Septembers Forum Ride.
Anyone who wants to join us is welcome.
Doug: Obviously we'd love you to come (as you know the way ;D) if not I'm sure we can figure it out.

Bugger! I forgot I'm not talking to you after you dissed my grouting  No joy with Fox as yet! They are claiming wear and tear and therefore no warranty claim I've got my legal eagles working on it  The bike shop recommend I keep riding them until they start to leak air. As the upper leg assy needs replacing anyway so I cant make it any worse. If I've got to cough up for the repair/service then MOJO are quoting £215.00 plus P+P  Lesson for all with FOX forks pay the £89 service cost each year or face a £200+ bill like muggins here No wonder FOX give a 2year warranty it's worthless Oh and just to cap it off when I took the forks off to take them to the bike shop the headset is goosed. So another £30 for a cane creek headset. Still it feels sweet up front now, wont stop me falling off though ;D Wow that went on a bit - Sorry. Are you joining us on Saturday? |

Meeting up at Llandegla Trail Centre at 09:30. Plan to be riding for 09:45. Head up first climb and shoot off to the mast. Follow trails in an anti-clockwise direction to Llangollen then around the Panorama and back to Offa's Dykke Path, Leading to Llandegla Forest. Depending on legs either Blue/Red/Blk back to centre for hot drink/food. Follow link for Route Map www.thewoollybacks.co.uk/Routes/Worlds%20End.pdfI have followed the map on google satellite images and it looks easy enough to follow. The more the merrier  |

Whitedog: Have you managed to talk any of the usual suspects into coming?
I have printed out the route map and some photos to take with us, just in case.
I plan on taking a snack with me but we could always pick some food up in Llan if need be.
Hope we get a break with the weather. Looking forward to it. See you Saturday.

No Usual Suspects this time, none of them want to get up early. I will be there as long as it not raining sideways. Got caught out in a thunderstorm today, totally soaked thru no fun at all. it's hard enough getting up off nights when it's sunny. Mtbman, I think sticking to the black might be the better option after the amount of rain we have had this week  |
