Re:

Hopefully catch you at one of the east coast rides or one of the epics, keep an eye on the forum as generally loads of rides happening.

Cheers

Keith.

Just spotted this section, hi all!.

Newish to this site, addicted as ever to all things bike and slowly but surely being lured-in by the classifieds since my 95 Cinder Cone was borrowed indefinitely by a stranger...

Am Edinburgh North but ride out towards GT and Pentlands, tempted to take my boy to the VAT run at South Queensferry some time soon too.

Currently looking to build up a dream build mid 90s Explosif on the cheap (haha) but have an old Rockhopper for now. Maybe see you lot out on the trails sometime soon.

How do Howie! Good to have you on board. I know velomaniac's been organising some local Edinburgh rides, next one is on the 22nd (http://www.meetup.com/mountainbikes-161 ... 187058542/) or there's Glentress the day before if you fancy a trail centre spin (viewtopic.php?f=29&t=298218).

How old's the Rockhopper?

Re:

Sounds good will try and meet up family commitments allowing!
The Rockhoppers a 94, just getting it fixed up again. I'm not around much and tend to use my 5 when I do go out. Am in the process of getting a 90s replacement for the Kona, prices seem to have gone up!
Nice one

Re:

Thanks for the clarification Velo!
It had me confused. I started to scour the Glentress thread for a post announcing a change of date. Not being able to find one and came back "here" about to ask if i'm missed something!

Thanks
