Bapmunchers Belfast Epic?

[Bowdie]

Jack floated the idea of some of the Bapmunchers hitting Shaws bridge next weekend for a tour round bever, Mary Peters, Iris's cafe. Either XC circuit and/or jumps - anyone else fancy it?

[papasmurf]

And I still remember the last time we met up with them on there supposedly out of North Down Epic, such a slow slow day biking.

PS anybody hear or see ChrisComber coming to think of?

[simpo03]

If its Saturday, count me in Bowdie.

If I ask them to go faster U in?

[Lwatson]

Im sure he could push you boys round belvoir with the one hand thats still operational. But tbh i cant see him taking anymore risk before his hols.

And I still remember the last time we met up with them on there supposedly out of North Down Epic, such a slow slow day biking for them as they waited for me all the time.


You were slow in those days Drew - but you showed some promise! Apart from the Lycra.....;)

[jacks2ts]

I can only do Sunday as the missus is working saturday , if it aint happning i'll stay local, 'cus there local trails for local people ;);) might do a bit of digging as theres a berm that needs to be built , i can do a bit friday :)

[Bowdie]

Im happy to do Saturday and Sunday, as Jack says it's local and I'd be out anyway. Early moring start for everyone? avoid the dog walkers and crowds? Meet at Shaws bridge carpark, anyone traveling by train I can meet them at Barmoral station if they don't know area. Iris's outside cafe and ice cream van for refreshments.

[jacks2ts]

So you CAN get a poke from Iris outside then.

[penguinni]

...if you have a spare wad!

[Bowdie]

The guy in the icecream van will poke U for a pound no matter how ugly & wrinkly U are or how 'good' U are at mountain biking :P

Iris is a bit more fussy
If she turned down these two - U's boys have no mission LOL

[Bowdie]

lol

[jacks2ts]

Right i'm free Saturday but have to be back befor 3 as missus has changed shifts. so whats the crack ? could still do Sunday. It my have to e a bap run saturday

[Bowdie]

Saturday is good for me, Aliatair was OK for sat as well. If you get down early we can avoid the dog walkers and you can get back before 3. Im OK for sunday as well if things change or peps prefer that day.

[jonny397]

would love to try somewhere different, but got to work saturday. Can do a Pit Stop run on sunday or Shaws Bridge. Never been up there on the bike.

[RiderOne]

will keep a look out for you guys SAT as will done shaws myself ;)

[Marky]

So, where we going in the morning? I'o up for some SHaw's Bridge type action! Time and place chaps?

[flames35]

Sorry Guys, would love to goto Shaw Bridge tomorrow but some twat run into the back of me this morning and feeling a bit tender. Car is only two weeks old. Will be out for a short time on Sunday and will bring the money for you Bowdie.

10am Sunday @ Pitstop?????

[Bowdie]

Jack is to let me know what time the train is, if someone was coming from the Bangor direction maybe offer him a lift?
We are talking 8:30 - 9 o'clock at Shaws bridge. There is a loop up past MP then through EdenDerry to Giants Ring then back to Shaws Bridge. Refreshments in Iris's then a loop round Bever taking in the trail above Iris's with jumps, north shore and drops in big wood.

I'll check who's up for sunday Jonny, some can only get out on Sunday - so either Shaws bridge or bap run for sunday, will update here.

[jonny397]

Cheers Bowdie, but am now interested in the crackin run round the mines Garys talkin about so looks like the bap run. I change my mind so quick.

[Bowdie]

If no one else puts their hand up for Sunday at Shaws bridge then I will prob'ly go to Bangor as well, Sat at Shaws and lead mines sun sounds good weekend of riding :)

[penguinni]

Cant really make tomorrow either chaps.:( Hope to get a couple of hours at some stage crammed between Dads Taxiing though :-)

Probably take a bit of time to set up my new forks!!:D

[jacks2ts]

Right little spin this afternoon cost me a new set of bearings and poss'a new phone needless to say i took a wee tumble, bikes worse than me so canymakeit tommorow as i cant get any bearings till 9ish. AR$E.
So i'm heading out sunday to do something very early up HT " will need to take me anger out on something or some tree ".
So i'll be heading out around 5ish to HT should get most graft done and can meet at the pitstop for 9.30/10 if anyones heading that way ,I may not have a phone/moved numbers to new phone by then so you'll have to contact on here till sorted , but give it a go you may be lucky PUNK !

[penguinni]

What you do? You ok?

[flames35]

Stevie, me thinks Jacko slipped on the soap and pole vaulted out the window.

Things come in 3's? This might be No.3;)

[penguinni]

Thats what he gets for hanging around the showers.....

[Bowdie]

Faders the lot of ya :P
I'll be there at Shaws bridge 9am Sat, and prob'ly pitstop on Sun

[penguinni]

Did I mention my new forks??

[Bowdie]

Did I mention my new forks??
Is it going to change ur riding?

[penguinni]

Nope. I will still be slow, clumsy and chicken. But with a lot more poise and comfort.

[jacks2ts]

Mr P no real damage just a dented pride, took a wee run down to carnaley but off the path as theres a nice little jump , bu i should'nt have gone so fast as i twated the back wheel off a stump and i took flight for a bit , the bike carried on a bit more and me phone went into outside space.

And there aint nothing wrong with "poise and comfert"

[penguinni]

You should be careful at your age Jack.

[Bowdie]

You should both be careful - hip replacements are getting harder to come by ...

[penguinni]

Youre a dead man cycling Bowdie!

[Bowdie]

An eight yo throughbreed will still beat a three yo cart horse :P

[penguinni]

......my new forks will grind you into the dust chum! No offence...;-)

[osc900]

Hi Guys,

Haven't been able to make the bap run the last few weeks but still getting out on the bike

I'd love to go tomorrow for the Belfast Epic but I'm on call at work so better stay local, will be at the pit stop on Sunday though,

see you there,

[flames35]

Yoda, see you there on Sunday. Don'y worry about Jacko, Mr.P and Bowdie; there just jousting as to who gets the free bus pass first.

Hangover recommended for Sunday.

Marky, I have a 2.5lb rainbow trout for you if your are intertested. Have to tell the misses that you are taking a run on Sunday in exchange for dinner.

[Marky]

Gary, that fish is the ticket alright. See you all Sunday. With a guaranteed noodle blaster of a hangover!

[jacks2ts]

Dont worry about Jacko, Mr.P and Bowdie; there just jousting as to who gets the free bus pass first.
