Maybe the coast ride should wait until the 11th October.

This is the route i was thinking:

nice ride guys! good to meet you all and have a beer and shit. Can't do sunday, but am up for friday again. I felt my front tyre in the morning and it was completely flat :S , some how I managed to get home without noticing!

Oh, no - was that from when we collided? I haven't dared check my spokes yet!

Yeah sick brothers... How many beers did you have up at Franks?

Good idea. Add name and number below so any late comers can catch us up!

p.s. Good to c u coming back home snarbs...

None, it was 1 in 1 out by the time we got there. I was pretty knackered by that point though. Sweat out all those beers on the way through London I reckon.

I noticed a new noise on the way up Mill Hill Road on the way home. Holly was more wobbly than normal, piss artist that she is. Checked her over when we got in, and disturbingly, the front nuts were completely loose. Lucky we didn't go one way and the wheel another.

Speedway is massive!

Just remembered I'm working the next day, and the next day, and the next. Still, I'm up for the start, and probably the end. Just warning you that I may wimp out early. Wimp.

Don't be a lame ass. I just bought a chris king headset. Hopefully it will be here by friday!

Gah, Chris King? Lovely. I'm coming out, aren't I? Could be a long weekend, though. And I'm doing ten days in a row as of yesterday. Still, four days off in a row after that.

You know it makes sense. im gonna sell my frame and forks soon. Got my BMX to strip and sell (As I never get out on it any more). Sad to see it go but could put the money to good use...

Like this for example:



Good price too, just have to order it from the US of A.
Also check them on the leader ebay store here

That's a nice frame. I'm sticking with my trusty Fuji, though. We've been through a lot now, bit emotionally attached to each other. A couple of photo shoots, a handful of crashes, some nice rides in a few different cities...

Recognise that?!

Yeah but is a different colour with different bits on it!!! Lol. When did you become a model. I'd be taking offense that they cut your head off though. Send death threats, you know it makes sense.

Oooh! Nearly time. Ive only got 3.5 hours at work then its the weekend. Dunno whats happening with the weather though. Rain makes it more interesting. Haha! We still hooking up at 9 up the Forum?

Yeah I'm still in, working at about 60% power at the moment though, full of cold.

I'm working on my Thorn with Sailor tonight. He's coming round at 6-7. Shouldn't take us long. If I miss 9 then I'll buzz one of you and catch up.

Would do it another night, but I need to get it stripped before we do powdercoating, or it will stay rusty blue and not be bright pink like it should be.

Cool. Give dan or myself a buzz when ur ready. Nice one.

Oh la la fail x2 compadres. Tried to return today but wowzermobile needs an MOT. Something about it not being insured if I drive blah blah blah. For real I am in slowlystown next week....

Ahhh! Hahahaha! Boooooo. Who are ya. U got a number for ur housemates? Will try n get em out. Pm me. Peace. M

Everyone knows about this one, made a facebook thread thing. Sam and Jamie should definitley be coming....

Add me on FB...as Max Sainsbury. I'll include you to the thread.

Anyone want to try a time trial record tonight? My legs are feeling strong today. Oh, no, wait, that was the desk - my legs are a bit soft and girly.

Haha. Maybe after 20 miles. Twas my first night gym session last night, and it was with my juicer mates. Ouch. Feel proper pussy. Hows about doing TT around the outside of chapelfield. Best of 3 after the 20 miles of course. Pussy we not!

Oh yeah and am gonna spread the word by spoke cards. Tagged someones bike up at the uni with a note saying bout tonight. Hahaha!

Oh my gosh. Have u seen the rain? What we gonna do?

I'm tempted to lame out to be honest, don't mind a bit of drizzle but..

Might not last long though.

Im off for some car park sessions. Call you in a bit. See what happens.

Eurgh, did this fizzle out?

Kind of!

I think i saw mark pass me on the way to the arts centre.

It's probably for the best this did'nt happen though, the roads are slippery and i just came very close to death.
I took the city end earlham road corner too fast and slid right across the road between 2 black cabs , one behind me and one in front , i salute their stopping skills.
I ended up with a grazed a elbow, a small hole in my trousers and a completely destroyed watch.

Heal up soon, Ben. Close call.

Yeah man that sucks. We had quite a funny evening. Hid up in the car park under the forum for an hour. Bombed about under there and taught Dan to skid. We then got kicked out by a security guard. Off to Rose lane to get baccy. Then to the football club for beer followed by some big beasty spliffs with my friends Dom and Dan. We then had a high speed burn around through the city where I then lost Dan so headed home. Funny old night.

You were ahead of me on my turn off - shouted but you didn't hear. Just needed to crawl into bed at that point. Good night, that garage is a nice spot.

Oh yeah. Shall we try n do the same the route next friday. Maybe have a piss about in the underground carpark after with more beer and doobieS. I get right in the zone when i'm high! We got a new winter training spot now...

Got one for anyone whos in for the challenge? Didn't happen on the 9th because the forces of god were against us, so here we go again...

Hey folks, did I leave a pump with any of you the other night? When we stopped at the Speedway track?

I've just realised it's not on the bike, and I seem to remember someone using it that night. If nobody has it then I probably put it down and missed it in the dark.

I know Mike used it on the track but dunno what happened to it after that.

Oh yeah, as the ride never really kicked off, posted a new thRead for next week. Look forward to seeing u all there! Lets get out critical mass style. Each an all invited, u all know the drill. Peace
