Helloo :)

[bartiebat]

Hiya, Karen from Kinmel Bay here *waves* ;D Just done a core skills course at Llandegla & discovered how to stop going over the front of the handlebars!! Yey

Having a quick mooch about here & see you have regular rides - are the dates listed somewhere? (Apologese if they are somewhere obvious, but not much time to scour during dinner time in work). Would be good to ride somewhere other than the trail centres or the Marin, but get scared about being lost so never venture out! Very much a red route rider so need to know which ones to avoid!

Thanks in advance

As everyone else has said, welcome to the Forum If you look in the 'Plan your rides & invite others' section, you will see a list of rides that people are planning on doing. If you see anything you fancy, put your name down and just turn up. Don't be shy, nobody bites.

If you prefer, then there's a group of ladies female riders who try and organise monthly rides aimed at getting more girls out. This would be a great way of getting to know people and also catch up on all the gossip ;D

Just bring your sense of humour with you

[ady]

Quite a few evening rides this time of year that can be posted up somewhat last minute,so keep your eyes pealed Conwy mountain & Clwyds being regular ones!

[anna]

Nothings wrong with your flapjacks

[bartiebat]

Thanks for the friendly response! What is it with flapjacks?!hehe Don't think i've ever made them - not bad at molly (malteser) cake though if that's any good?!

Weekday & girly rides sound good. I'm a little bit unreliable as I'm a wind addict, so biking has just become my no wind day love (which we had too many off the beginning of this year) & Conwy sounds like a perfect distance from home! Has anyone been up the Orme? Someone told me you could spend a week playing up there & not cover the same places twice??

[ady]

Ken, Oggy & Smithy will probably be along soon to let you know about the delights of the Orme, I have notice some fun techie bits on the little orme to play on!

If you're a regular on the Marin, it could be time to post a WillyWave, to get your foot on the ladder as it were.

[bartiebat]

WillyWave?!!
