Your in the wrong game Furlong. A born salesman. How on earth have you managed to make that crazy sport of your's sound so inviting. Hell I might even give it a go myself. My Halfords bike must be the upmarket version of Peter's I think it cost 160 :shock: so I reckon I'll make it round on that. The thing should nearly drive itself for that price. :lol:

So folks, only a week to go, time to get the mtb's all lubed up and ready to for action.

We will meet at the Kilbranish Upper Car Park at 10am. That's the trailhead for the walking trails at Kilbranish, I have put a link to the location below.

We will start by having a quick look at bike setup. Make sure your bike is in good working order, have it checked over during the week if you can.

We expect to spend about 1 1/2 hrs in the saddle. Depending on fitness levels we may split into two groups. We will be mostly on fireroad, but will also take in a little bit of singletrack and have some skills sessions.

Please read back through the post I put up a while ago about what you need to bring,

Any questions, contact myself or any of the regular mtb'ers

See you there!
