The following weekend (22nd) is the Cuerden Valley Park event in Preston. I was looking at going to this, but this means alot more to me and so if it is this weekend then I will be 100% in.

I'm quite tempted to go, I'm gonna be in Portsmouth area at work on the Friday, then may go home and leave Sat morning. I live near Woking. So if anyone want's to go from either Pompey/Surrey, then give me a shout. might be able to give you a lift there and back. Anyone got any idea, what time the event starts and finishes? Also, I may end up stying for the weekend, don't suppose someone would be able to put me up for a night, then go for a ride on the Sunday?

I in Fareham and Gosport, and but I'm working all day, so wont be riding. best bet for riding, that i know would be to go to Portsmouth. Plenty of spots to ride, in the city, and along the sea front.

Will do Simps. Anyone interested, just turn up. If were not at Guildhall then we'll be round by the law courts.

Pompey tonight 7pm guildhall

I'll be there.

Has knowone noticed the tension device? It looks almost like a TPA, that in it's self is impressive. The bike on a whole looks nice, does at first glance look like a 26" Just looks like they've made a 24" TRIALS bike. I see nothing wrong with that, there is nothing that you can compare to this too, as all other 24" frames are street designed. This is the first of it's kind and I like the look of it, but will stick the 26" myself.

It was a joke. Would be cool if it were real, but the chances of someone being in a traffic jam, seeing a UFO and having a camera to film it, and there be jet's chasing it, is pretty damn unlikely, lol.

I spy with my little eye the best trials bodge.

I was in Kingston on Saturday, not riding just shopping. I'm up for riding there in the summer.

I had an amazing day today, was definately what I needed to get back into it. Paying for it now though, aching all over so badly

Haha, too much anal last night? Seriously though, stop with excuses. Get the adrenalin flowing and you'll be laughing.

Meeting at the usual time?

Only moved in with my girlfriend this week. I'm up up here for Easter, then back to Portsmouth for work till the beginning of June, then I will be living up here permanently.

Already there, lol.

I wont be affected by this, as it's during my Easter break. But I do work for Network Rail, I wont be on stirke as I'm a first year apprentice. The RMT union members reasons for going on strike are pretty rediculous. The staff are all set in their way's. Network Rail want to change shift's to help bring a 1970's railway upto the standard of a 21st century railway. They want less train services effected during engineering works and less buses to be used in the process- allowing more people to travel by train and be inconvienienced less. Network Rail is aiming to run a 7 day railway with each day treated like a week day, so Sunday services will eventually become a thing of the past. Unfortunately the signal engineers and maintenance teams don't see this as such as positive thing, and therefore have chosen to strike.

I break up for Easter today, and will also be moving into a new place in Addlestone (near Thorpe Park and Woking). I'm off until Monday 12th April. I'm gonna have my bike with me and I wanna get out as much as possible. So are there any riders in the area that are gonna be up for going riding? Cheers Nick

Looking forward to this.

My self and most of the team (I think Rich included) all used Big Betty's 2.4 GG on the rear and nobby nic 2.1 on the front. I personally loved them, long lasting, grippy and reliable.

Thanks Ash, only I need them that do ride to respond so contact can be made and rides done.

I've sorted myself out with a trials bike, and wanna get out on it. Just wandering if there's any riders in Fareham, that can ride week day evenings. Cheers Nick
