Thursday (3rd April) pump track sesh.

31 Mar, 2008, By: James Irwin Building, General, Meet Ups,

Nice short post, pump track sesh thursday from around 5, list of people attending is growing so make sure you get there. Would be nice to see some people that have been off the bike for a while (Nicky). I will around all afternoon so let me know what your plans are. Pump track is nice and dry and running fast so make sure you bring your hailtails and i will bring the big pump down so we can get some high pressures going. There is some new stuff, allot if you have not been down for a while. So make sure you dont miss out. We should be able to get a good few hours in before it gets dark.

[Tim Berm Pump Track]

This is a oldish picture of Tim from No cycling railing the far berm, this berm has since increased in size making it even more fun. Please let me know if you can make it. List so far is Jeff, Shane, Jonny, Myself, Matt , Ben Armit and Nicky and i have asked a couple of other people so dont miss out 🙂

    Ok, when do you go to the doctors? i mihght just go up mono instead if ayone is intrested? i should defo be able to come on thursday so all sounds good, can’t build these jumps in the feild for a good 2-3 weeks yet, and if we do it’s gonna have to be done by hand because we can’t get a digger down there i don’t think, so i’m kinda stuck at the momment…

    Its alright Ed 18 bikes had it. Just wait for my pads of arrive then the DH bike is all fixed. Not that i can ride it looks like i had damaged my ligaments again. So my ankle is going to be sore for a couple of weeks.

    Looks like i am not going back to manchester until sunday. So i was planning some digging on saturday at the pump track as the weather doesn’t look that good. So i thought it would be better to be down there then we could always finish early rather than be half way up a hill somewhere getting wet. We could complete the new line which would make a massive difference and really increase the size of the track. Plus i thought i would head down today at around 5 aswell while it is dry and rolling fast.
