It's a lovely day here.

.

Coolio. See you tomorrow.

Who's down for this tomorrow?

@Howard?
@Dogs?
@Cloak/Dagger?

Anyone else?

More than anything it's to make sure I don't leave anyone behind if they're late at the start.

Okay, I can meet you at 9 and have a roll around some trails. Then head back to meet the others at 11.

What time? I can be there earlier and we can do a couple of trails before others arrive.

Sorry to hear that. I'll sort more rides out in the near future.

So meeting time is 11am by Peaslake Village Stores. Is the time okay for everyone?
If you're coming message me and I'll send my phone number in case you need to contact me.

All in proportion, as I've mentioned many times.
Sizing is kind of important.

There are different schools of thought on this. The longer, lower, slacker school has many advocates. But I know riders who do size down for whippability.
Going to a Cotic demo day and trying different sizes could help. Or even organise one. If you can get enough mates out on your local trails the Cotic moving feast will come to you.
I've got a Bfe with a 1220mm wheelbase and 27.5" wheels (I'm short) and I love it. I wouldn't go bigger currently, think that's as long as I need. All that Geometron and Pole stuff is for the freakishly tall. :-D

At 6ft 29ers (and a size large) make sense. Everything in scale and proportion with the rider. And the terrain being so much more irregular than that used with a BMX means that the stability of longer, lower, slacker bikes with big wheels that eat up holes, root carpets, rock gardens and carry speed better between sections means more speed and more fun.
If you look at all the tall pro riders very few (maybe none) above 5'8" are on 27.5". And those shorter than that are riding mullet setups. Personal preference dictates what you will buy but 29ers are probably the way forward.

Alrighty, hope you all can make it. Looking forward to this.

Butters: everything looks good but...

Think you've got too involved in thinking about the rest of Ric here.

Bendy Wendy is one to look for.

And Rumble in the Jungle, though it has unavoidable gaps and doubles with no chicken runs

Yeah, probably about two years or so back.

Thread title needs to be changed to "Halfords: good or bad?"

I don't use Garmins, Strava, etc. But if anyone coming along wants to post the data for anyone to use it's all good.
The route used that day will be ad hoc, as in; see what happens on the day.
If you have a CX bike you can join, I'd advise a MTB but so many trails there could be ridden on a CX.

50 years from now books titled "The tall stranger, unwary cyclists & the woods" will investigate your legacy.

I regret nothing thrown into the pit.

Cool beans.

I loved the Pinion I tried on the Deviate Guide. Just don't need to add the cost to a titanium frame.

Nope.

It won't be a Geometron. That's for tall folks. A titanium Isen maybe.
