Fair play Chris, I'm too bloody busy working to get out on my bike.

You're a lucky sod IMO.

jungle run 2010 wyre forest - YouTube

this is what we are training on Its the Wyre Forest and it half an hour drive away but massive great fun and great potential to really hurt

 

[chrisroe]

yep it hurt not too much but a good over the bars for the third time in a month

 

[chrisroe]

the bit i fell off is called the three bears decent and i cocked it up big time

 

[Gazzer]

Chris....Yo bay rite in the yed !

 

[hillhead]

Sore lookin Chris.
Great trails there.
Would a good cross country full sus be better on them drops etc?
Some great deals about lately.

 

[chrisroe]

Yes a full sussie would be good Can you put that to my wife as im not that brave

the Spec Camber would be the one for me as its a good climber and im not the lightest on a bike

 

[chrisroe]

im getting worse two big falls yesterday one head banger bit sore today

16 miles in the wyre forest and its getting muddy as hell

i knew i was going to ride badly as soobn as i got on the bike dont know why just did

bring on next week im going to get even

and less muddy

 

[hillhead]

I drove an hour away today myself with bikes onboard for a run.
I was on mostly gravel purpose built trail with a few rock drop offs.
I'm finally closing in on a full susser, i hope to do a deal very soon and know the one i'm after. 2.5k but it's a 2010 model so i'm thinking of 1-1.5, lol

I did coast to coast about ten years ago and it hurt so good luck I have give up the self powered bikes now for ones with a big engine and more relaxing sport like golf
