Meeting up for a ride, plus some news
Okay after this snow has past does anyone fancy going out for a ride on monday or tuesday of next week. Just think this time last year it was the driest march for years shocking. I have spoken to a couple of people about riding on Monday (depending on the weather) ,Tuesday if not so if you are free let us know.
In other news
- BMX spraying guide, As most of you will know i recently bought an bmx (second hand). I thought to make it a bit more special i would re-spray it. As a helpful guide to anyone else interested in spraying there frames i thought i would write a short guide of the steps and helpfull hints so look out for that in a couple of days. Shane is also going to respray his hardtail so we should have some more pictures to add in the following weeks.
- Helmet camera, Shane is in the process of buying a helmet camera which when up and running will allow us to gets some good quality video footage to add to the “Tracks Page”. To give a better impression of the different tracks around.
- Bamford Pump track, I have been down there digging a fair bit the last couple of days so there is some new stuff to test your skills on. But can i please ask that you keep noise to a minimum and make sure you pick up any litter.
(please note not full screen as only preview 🙂 )
Further update Right got the frame sprayed and put everything back together so this is what it looks like now. I have got some crank arms, just waiting on an axle so i can put them on. Plus i have ordered some Fit (bike make) stickers to put on it so everyone knows who made it. Would be nice to know what everyone thinks to the colours, so please let me know.

I might as well, ironically, jump on the proverbial band wagon and make a more obvious notification that Edge Winter is now out with some pictures you might recognise (and a few other nice ones you might not):
Nice of them to put Joe’s motto below his picture…
Anyway the mag is a little small this issue, I’d imagine due to a lack of entries, so its up to YOU to get out there, get snapping, and get submit a pic or two for the next issue by 07/06/08. Don’t think your pics will be good enough eh? You may be surprised by what you can get between now and then if you put your mind to it…

Wednesday sounds like the best bet. I cant ride until i have some new back brake pads as they are down to the metal. But i will order them tomorrow morning so should be here on tuesday. Talk to some people today about having a sesh down at the pump track tomorrow late afternoon/night. Meeting at about 5 as the ground should be on the drier side after the sun today.
