i dunno whether i'll be there for the whole weekend,a s there seems to be people coming with us now that don't do DH. going to be there for at least a day though.

just waiting for my new forks to arrive, then i'll be set for the fort.

My current lyriks seem to be leaking dark brown oil. That's not good, as the stuff that was put in it a month ago was clear. At least they're hardly leaking now, as most of the oil has leaked out..

There's always the Witches trail at Fort Bill for anybody not interested in the DH.
Or there's Laggan not far away, or a bit further away, there's lots of natural stuff around Aviemore (if you go, pop into Bothy Bikes for a map + route suggestions)


I won't be there, as I should be flying back from Canada that weekend

CLANG!!!! Is that a name dropping I hear!?

Let me know which day you fancy doing then Ant... I'm thinking the Saturday?

I did think about using the W word, but figured I would be diplomatic and use the C word to generalise a bit more and upset less 

(11 days til I fly, and the excitement is building)

[RAFChris]

PMSL!

[Ant]

TBH, we're yet to sort out an itinery, but before some other people wanted to go too, we were planning on staying at FB for both days. But i think we may be getting to laggan too that weekend. I'll let you know when it gets closer to the time.

It also depends on the weather forecast.

If you can make it Bong you know it'll be awesome! Last chance to ride the Fort and all that...

I know dude, i really really want to make it,im trying my best trust me  .
Was at inners this eve for a blast and to check how my bike has lasted from the beating it took in morzine and it rode damn fine (pity about the rider    ) !
I tell you what tho ,that rock drop on matador is interesting when you cant see anything cos of a a complete sheild of mud over your goggles and cos it was so damn dark in the woods st 8pm . but a good blast never the less,not so sure if im gonna go back there on my own again tho,quite a boring push up to the top(takes over an hour easily)  without any1 to talk to. Oh and i think my new troy lee shorts need sterilising now,they have gone from white and black to a brown all over

Are the two interconnected by any chance?! lol!

Well I'm going to be racing Inners on the 19/20th of September mate so if Fort Bill falls through I'll give you a shout and head down there before the race weekend and we can go for a blast.

Laggan is about an hour from Fort Bill so easily doable if you fancy a change of scenery... let me know what you decide dude.

When do you arrive?  We might overlap by a day or so, should get out for a ride together.

Arrive a week on saturday, for 2 weeks.
No doubt I'll spend the first few days riding like a complete mincer, as I've not ridden the Furious since I was there in May 

[Hwulex]

Me and my Furious leave on Monday so hows abouts a Sunday ride?

[mc]

Sounds good, but it'll depend on what I have to do on the sunday.
I'll drop you a PM.

Nah,the rock drop is pretty damn easy to be honest,the shorts were due to the endless amount of mud,lol.

And im well up for inners.

[bong69uk]

So whats the script here with this now? How many are looking to make it for sure ? its looking like i may make it afterall, But will be 100% sure come next week. 

[RAFChris]

I'm there FOR SURE mate... just need to get the weekend booked off work and that'll guarantee it
