    f**k ME THAT WAS FUN

    My bones hurt

    EDIT lets be more constructive... reasons why the ride was mint

    - Met John Mack... although i didn't twig who he was for like 30mins

    - Met Special K, whos actually not as much of a cock as he is on here

    - 1st day was a banter ride which i love, with fatty getting so much stick im supprised he didnt hang himself in the night

    - Got a picture of Fatty pulling "the face" in the shower which ammused me

    - Taught NBR man and John Mack how to bleed a brake the propper way

    - Only fell off 1ce badly, although it was a fairly long way down

    - Learnt to gap, as taught by JxM

    - Rode majoritivly shit, which gave me more time to bum

    - Didn't work out as expensive as expected

    - Driving wasn't terrible although a bit of a bitch

    - Weather held out on Sunday - liked getting wet on saturday was a bubble

    many more too tired to think

    And the Drops to front!

    Lol. Thought the Big Gay Bear thing was spur of the moment, not a long standing sort of title.

    But in answer to your question - I have no idea.

    ...

    Looking forward to tomorrow :)

    LOL.

    It was I changed it after the ride...

    Thought it's easier to recognise then before!

    See you tomorrow!

    Does anybody know if the parking at Temple Meads has gone up from the (approx) £6.50 I paid last time for all day parking? Many thanks!

    £3.50 all day at the top car park just before the entrance to the station.

    Cheers,

    Adam.

    Right now I'm using trials specific Hebo gloves. They work excellent! Not terribly expensive either. They have finger padding to protect your fingers from the brake levers which I thought was a huge plus because my old ones didn't and I'd cut my fingers every ride. They're also super light weight and have vents to air out your hands. I strongly suggest them!

    +1 On the Hebo gloves...

    If my friends bike is fixed and ready then theres a chance me and him will come and il ask another 3 riders i no if they can come :) i could probebly be there

    If you can go PM me a couple of days before and we can exchange numbers and set somewhere to meet...

    All of the riding is on the sea front, the most popular thing is the moon rocks. There on the north side of bpool, Easiest way to find where they start is the blackpool north trainstation is like directly inland from the start of the rocks so you just follow the road to the sea front and the rocks keep going for a mile or 2. Theres also some riding in st annes which is the south of bpool and there is also some stuff on the promenades and sea front of the centre its self in places. As far as im aware pritty much all the blackpool lot dont ride anymore apart from maybe cap but you may find a few riders on the moon rocks as there so popular. Ill proberly be working so wouldn't be able to go.

    Cheers for the help,

    I presume the majority of riding then is natural?

    Were down there for 3days so if you do get the chance...

    Cheers,

    Adam.

    In August from the 6th to the 9th Me and two mates are down in Blackpool for 3days.

    None of us have been there before and nor do we know any of the good spots to ride,

    If anyone local rides down there wouldn't mind showing us around and having a ride, then please get back to me it would be very much appreciated!

    Also if anyone just fancy's a ride on one of the 3days (or all 3) Just get back to me, and we can set somewhere to meet.

    Cheers,

    Adam.
