    NE&YORKS Noggin and Natter

    Literally 2 minutes off the Chester-le-Street Junction, besides which I could ride down and meet you a bit closer. 23rd looks good... Christening is on the 24th, so I think I'm in the clear! Now all I've got to do is finish cabling my bike. Why is it that installing gripshift was so much...

    91 Raleigh promotional poster

    Am looking for them, but I've got a horrible sinking feeling that the pics might be in a box at my Ma & Pa's... I know for a fact that I've got shots of Baker on the start line, Caro Alexander racing the XC, and JMC racing his Specialized on the bottom end of the DH. I think I might even have...

    91 Raleigh promotional poster

    Heh. I've just been lost in a complete wave of nostalgia... I also think that I've found Rory H on Facebook and sent him a friend request, though I'm not sure that he'd remember me... As a kid (15, maybe 16), I remember that I was in his phonebook right next to Jo Burt, and I thought that...

    91 Raleigh promotional poster

    In the early/mid '90's, I used to live just down the hill (in Derbyshire) from Paul Hinton as he was making his transition from road to MTB... There were a bunch of us (including Rory Hitchens and Chris & Siobhan from Team North Face) who used to go out for "casual" rides on a Wednesday night...

    NE&Yorks- RBDW route survey Dalby- 23May

    I'm a possible... I need to check plans with the boss, but if she stamps me pass then I'll be there. I'll ask her when she gets in, hammered, tonight! ;)

    23rd sounds cool, but I know for a fact that I've got a Christening to go to at some point that weekend. Provided it's not the same day then I'm up for that. August weekender sounds like the business... I should be available for that, and I might even be able to drag one or two others along...

    Ample bosoms? You sayin' I need a bra like? (In fairness, it probably wouldn't hurt!) ;) I'm inbetween Newcastle & Sunderland - just far enough outside of chester-le-street to be safe... Currently just back into my riding after probably a 3-4 year layoff. Bike is second-hand special -...

    NE&YORKS Noggin and Natter

    Once I've got a bit more fitness built back up (i.e. I'm only 3 weeks back into riding after many years off, and I'm a 17-stone monster), then I wouldn't mind joining you on some of these if that's OK? I could do with getting out with some other people, just so I can try and get over my...

    Keys, cash, phone ?

    I've got a glass back... Seriously, I've had 2 visits to A&E this year where I've managed to hurt it without any real help, and I've never had any bother with a camelbak at all. I spread my stuff between that and a small under-the-seat bag. The seat bag takes a tube, multitool, tyre levers...

    Camelbak for me...

    The Introduce Yourself Here Thread III

    Hey, I've never been a lurker, found a link to here whilst browsing some other forums and spent a morning reading... I've been in & out of mountain biking since my teens in the early 90's and I've just started again after realising what a fat ****er I've recently become. Now in my 30's...
