Allo Allo

I'm a bit of a nobby no mates at the moment when it comes to my mountain biking and just wondered if there were any XC riders who hit the chase on a regular basis that wouldn’t mind me tagging along.

I’ve agreed to do the sleepless in the saddle with my cousin’s fiancé in August so need to get some miles in my legs. Most of my friends who cycle are very slow and more leisure riders, so I don’t get pushed.

I’ve mostly been riding my road bike or cross bike of late and I head out with my road club but again not many mountain bikers there. But need to get some mountain bike miles in my legs.

Tuesday and Thursday night rides from Stile Cop Road junction Thursday is more social and always ends up with a pint in the Red Lion in Longdon.
Some of these boys are fast and the aim on a Tuesday is to do serious damage to newcomers you have been warned 🙂

Try the OneFGear guys as well- nice and friendly even though they ride weird bikes 😀

Brilliant thanks for that, I will try and make it out on a Tuesday night what time do you leave? My bike is down at Cycleshack at the mo having rear bushing replaced so hopefully it will be done by next week.

I'm currently looking at setting up a single speed mountain bike so the OneFGear guys might be fun and I'm just joining wmmtb

Thanks again

If I turn up in lycra shorts (as I am a roadie and proud of it) will I be laughed away? I'll email Matt.
