Easy going DH'ers for all abilities ride tollymore

[mckeown]

Looking to get a few DH'ers or forum Lurkers together for a day out to meet the people behind the online mantles. Personality and an easy goin attitude is a must as i, like a lot of people cant stand bitching. All riders welcome no matter what the bike! To take place on a Sunday of choice to suit most people but tis the season to be out!

[barry_kellett99]

You have to pick a date yourself, then people can say for sure if they can make it, and also know when to come up with the excuses as to why they didnt make it.

Sorry, I am bitching, so I'll be left out.

[barry_kellett99]

McKeown is unavailable to comment - out cheating on a motorised bike. ALL ARE WELCOME

even me apparently

[ST Colin]

There must be a very loose criteria for the group.

[JAC]

Does it mean that the DH'ers have to be easy going, which seems a bit unfair as it automatically rules out JJ & LW?

[pug_tech]

the only rules are too keep er foot out flat out.......... :P

Lets put it this way. Road bikes and cars don't agree with his teeth.

[Lwatson]

And my Life savings doesn't agree with the 2K bill to fix them!!!

You need to take up a new sport...


Though to be fair you weren't DHing when you did your first injury.

[JAC]

Extreme Ironing BoardRider forum for LWatson please Steve.

I suppose the fact he has had two serious bike injuries means he should be automatically banned from this site, for actually riding his bike.

armchairrider.com as someone once described it

:p

[Gibbo]

carefull Lindsay, be the bigger man, dont bite (with what teeth you have left), we're all friends here now remember :P

Come from scalp towards bryansford and as you enter the village the back gates are on the left and the road where everyone parks is on the right

Yes this is definitely on tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting up and the pace is the speed of the slowest rider and there will be no cycling up hills!

[Legionare2009]

I'm thinking of joining this crew if people dont mind a guy with a funny accent and a cheap bike...

[barry_kellett99]

there will be no cycling up hills!

You may count me out then.

I thought we were going mountain biking

[Steveb]

They're goig DHing BK, it's different to mountain biking. It's like mountain biking, but for unfit people.

[Aul Han]

And the excuses begin, add your name here:

1. BK

Whos next?

[MrNuts]

so ur coming then steve ;)

[Conor]

Bring your midge repellent :)

[MrNuts]

Bring your midge repellent :)

Or ride with conor and when he's fixing his puncture (again) they are so busy eatin him they leave you alone :)

[mckeown]

ill need someone to take point tomorrow as i dont usually get to tolly via the back gate (thats what she said!) also theres probably a fair bit i dont know of!

[Wildturkey]

Tolly aint the best place to push a DH bike around, much more fun on short travel or hardtail IMO

However if my hangover aint to bad I might come down :)

[barry_kellett99]

I'm only winding.
I'll be there. But I will be pedalling if I feel like it!

bringing your hardtail Kev? Go on.
Be a real man.

[Silverfox888]

Mountain biking for forum lurkers/unfit people... count me in.

If I can find the back gate, what road is it on? Anybody heading from B'fst that I could follow?

[MrNuts]

Good job Wildturkey, get down if u can it will be a fun day

[mckeown]

silverfox im heading from carryduff if you wanna follow me up? my number is somewhere on this thread if you wanna text me this evening to arrange a meet up?

[Silverfox888]

cheers mckeown, will fire you a text now.

[MartyMcFly]

I'll be there too, 1st mtb outing in many months so looking forward to it :-)

[mckeown]

Sweet!

[Legionare2009]

Has to be professionaly looked at so can't go today :(

[MrNuts]

Don't worry about it, nobody turned up!

[Aul Han]
