Re: Looking forward to seeing everyone again around six'ish on Friday nite :-) Lights still out for 10pm by order of HRH :-) :-)

Great Weekend fellas - thanks to everyone in the Retro bike camp for making it as much tip top fun as it was, in spite of attempts by "The Man" to silence us, and send us all to bed by 10pm :-) Thankfully the Retro bike spirit managed to live on in the darkness, even if it was powered by candle...

Re: Big thanks to everyone for making it such an enjoyable day. Great chance to catch up with a few old faces and get to know a few more whilst riding the sweet, sweet singletrack of the FOD. Top day :D

Re: Its a bit of a slog from Worcester via Saudi Arabia, but I will be there - even looking forward to some mildly moist trails :D

Nice day out, good company, and a fair mixture of corporate / non corporate trails as defined by Mr Edwards. Still dont think my 20 quid bike quite got the respect it deserved at judging time :D And not quite sure why that young chap with a wheel pinched off a barrow kept going to the...

Guys fab day out yesterday. Glad to be back.. :D Indeed I would say the company was as good as the trails ...which if you know the FOD secret trails is high praise indeed. Sorry I turned up on the on-one, but I needed something that would stop in the wet as it was my first ride back after...

Its the Fountain at Parkend, GL15 4JD I aim to be propping up the bar, as I plan on getting something out of the day, having spent endless weekends showing Ed Edwards his ever so slightly mincing way round all the choice singletrack, but now injury prevents me riding ... :cry: :cry: 8...

So boys and girls....it is with deep regret that I announce I will not be guiding the "fast group" this saturday :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: A collision with a tree in Welsh Wales on 2nd May has left me with a broken right collarbone, and in spite of all my praying it just aint gonna be fixed...

Great day out, and I think as Ed and Johhnyboy have captured the mood rather well from both a 100k and 50k perspective on both old bike / new bike angle my work is all but done, bar thanking Mrs Valins for the end of ride sarnies / cake and tea. Very welcome indeed. Fantastic to catch up with...

lets not overplay our hand Ed....... ....but we can confirm that we aim to be avoiding the detour to the Gloucester Royal Infirmary via the drop of almost certain death ..... :D :D

Great ride everyone... :D What do you mean it happened a week ago ? :shock: :shock: :shock: Seems that working for the man has taken its toll on my sense of time. In any case it was great to catch up with a few old faces and get to know a few new ones. Rember Ed, its a right after...

and i look foward to seeing you... :P

bit of the better late than never approach, but I shall be adding to the numbers .... assuming I can make it out of bed after another 70 hr week working for the man... :D :D

Oh dear....and there I was just getting on line to check the start time, you know how I always like to plan ahead :cry: Having said that, I agree that its probably for the best, and on the upside at least we have something to look forward to in Feb, assuming the temperature has got above...

In the excitement of the high drama, forgot to thank Ed (and A2Zest) for the end of ride local produce doggie bag. Great bush tucker !! And Mark, great photos of the ride. Hopefully you also enjoyed the one we took of your bike at the pub, sans rider, on its own upside down and with the empty...

Thats great to hear Mark :D

Rob Thank for the vote for the Fisher. Never quite gets the kuddos it deserves... :wink: Howver by a similar viewpoint, your kona gets a shout, as its rider played a blinder when the chips were down... :D

Hey Mark, you gave us all a shock....... to put it mildly... :shock: Dont think I'll ever ever hit the same speed on the FOD Cycle path as I did yesterday trying to get to a point to get a signal. It goes without saying that like everyone else I'm so pleased they felt they could...

Silly me.... only learned from Ed tonight that all the chat was on this post for the West Midlands and not Chris's one in the main forum, as all I saw there was lots of lookers, but no takers. So I assumed we'd had no response. Doh !! ...D

God....you go to work for a day and miss pages and pages of profound discourse on the OWMTBC. Well bears and woods to be precise. Do any of you lot actually work or are you all professional bloggers.. :D Anyway the Diamond Back and me had a lovely time thanks. Its maybe not bling, but as...
