Anyone going/interested?

Few going from Bikeradar forum, don't know any of them but more the merrier and all that. A few of the boys going are local and no ones mentioned the snow yet so I'm guessing it's ok up there (some what suprised however) Temps for Tues onwards are 9+ so if not good now should be by then.

Anyway, date and time in topic, get involved... I'll be there in a white GT4

200 miles is nothing get yourself down here

Gutted for you mate, whenever you fancy another blast down here I'm sure i'll be up for it

Twrch btw - you were very close (I'm Welsh and I may have had to look it up )

thats cool, I'm likely to be there a good few weekends out of the month as soon as the snow clears so yea i'll look out for replys and see you there

It took me a few attempts to master the tunnel on the black run but do enjoy it, got to pick your lines on those berms though huh, good when you link them all up though.

Just know I'm going to be blowing like eff the next few times around though, not bike fit at all at the mo

Well lads, went up this Tuesday. I lasted - 20 minutes.. I drove through the village and parked up in the visitors centre car park, which was still think with slushy ice. A few lads on bikeradar said it was rideable so off I toddled. I opted to go through the car park to the start of the twrch as the road leading up was sheet ice also and (on my half bald Ignitors) unrideable. It was an absolute nightmare riding the the first part of the twrch up to the gate(if you know where I am). At that point, after spinning more times than Pete Burns I decided to bin it and go back home, cold, wet and despondent.

Went back in to the car park (about half 10) and there were a few more lads setting up, I rode past and just shook my head, one fella noted "another rider shaking his heads boys!" so I must not have been the only one struggling.

I'm fitting my 2.5 Highroller maxxpros in the morning and heading back up. Hopefully to better conditions.

Anyone else fancy it lads?

Just hope my HR 2.5s fit my frame now..
