Kinda puts other Red's to shame if they class that as a Red obstacle :D


Anyone here going to the WC at Fort Bill? Think I will just fire up freecaster and watch it in the warm :D
 
lol. That's the World Cup track crossing over the red track. It used to be if you were riding the red track you would have to look out for DHr's travelling at 30mph from the left. Now they will be travelling at 40mph over your head! :eek: After the tabletop it drops down onto a new motorway section. The speed you are going to carry for the lower section is going to be mental.

I'm heading down to Fort Bill. Probably only for Sunday though.

Yeah that would be grand, usually ride on my own as I don't know anyone localish to me to ride with as Andi is too scared ;)

I will double check with my girlfriend but she had made her own plans for Monday leaving me free provided I am back for tea.

Drop me an email karl at rcbits dot co dot uk and we can arrange something. :)

Hey hey did you get my email?
 
Bike finished, well it was finished last weekend but I've been slow getting pictures taken.

I don't think I've done too bad for my first attempt at building a complete bike and I'm super pleased with it.

Doesn't look like you are using the whole travel of the fork :p
 
The weathers too bad to do anything today! Heavy rain forcast for all day pretty much at Bacup, so no Lee Quarry ride! :(

Metcheck says it might be very light after lunch so might chance it then, its almost stopped completely here, so imagine Bacup is an hour or so behind as thats the direction of the weather.
