Okay:got an email form Astounding Adventures last night and the summary is that one of them has flu and the other has put her back out whilst clearing trails.

They have therefore suggested postponing this to the weekend of 30-31st January.

I won't lie to you (Ness) after all the organisation this is a real pain in the hole but if the trail leaders arent fit then thety cant run the course.

On the bright side, the trails are currently boggy, glutinous mudfests and so another months delay may give thewm a chance to recover.

I will try to PM/text all of you to make sure you get the message.

Hah! It's a voting system. Just under your name in the section on the left is a 'freeride god/crash test dummy' section. If another forum user likes what you are saying/has ridden with you and thinks you are a good rider they vote/click freeride god to give you plus one or vice versa if you are talking bllx.

You probably don't post on here enough for people to really know who you are...

Have a 'freeride god' point to get you off the mark.

Hi Gez, good to hear from you.

When we went up there a few years back we stayed at the corner house hotel in Innerleithen. A great bike friendly B&B in a pub. Nice rooms and really, really big fried breakfasts! Highly recommended.

OK, I've been thinking about this since my last post 30 mins ago and the weather is unlikely to get better so I'm gonna cancel this ride. I will text Neil, Lee, Keith and Nick. But I don't have Ronnies mobile number so Ronnie I hope you check this thread before turning up at Ashtead station? ...that is if you have decided to come along. Sorry to everyone for cancelling i'm going to post a morning ride for tomorrow in case anyone would like to come along to that instead?

Chaps, i'm sorry to bail out but a very late night last night, a 30 year old bottle of Port and a bad night with the babba have killed it for me. At least i didn't blame it on a cold !

Have a great ride and hope you those doing the skills course enjoy it
Happy New Year

Sorry hadn't been paying attention to this thread as I'd figured I was so far off the bottom of the table.

As it turns out, I now can't make the 2nd, so my place would be available for anyone else.

Apologies again for the late notice.

Hi Lee, at this point I'm still up for the ride. The forecast for tomorrow night shows rain however lets wait and see.

1: If its light rain or short showers lets go for it.

2: If its hard constant rain lets re-arrange for another night.

3: I'll post here at 6pm tomorrow night if the ride is cancelled.

4: Ronnie I can pick you up from Ashtead station at 6.45pm tomorrow night if you want?

5: If anyone is in any doubt about whats going on give me a call on the mobile at 6pm!

6: If anyone needs my mobile number PM me tonight and I will send it to you.

Whaddya mean what ride? Well, my brother and cousin (who a number of us bumped into a few weeks ago and who also know Terry, Debbie and David) organised a 'family' ride and me and Sam were invited.

So it wasn't my ride to invite others along to really. :(
