One thing I can suggest people bring - Insect repellant!

I've not been bothered by midges before at Glentress, but I got absolutely eaten alive at Hamsterly forest on Tuesday night. Counting 50-60 bites on each leg, just behind and around the knee area where my armour left exposed skin. I've about 20 bites on each arm as well, and they've been annoying the life out of me since yesterday afternoon!

Oh, and is anyone bothered if a couple of non-OcUK'ers join us for Sundays' Innerleithen ride? I've a couple of mates from north of there that would like to come along, at least 1 of them hasn't ridden Innerleithen before

Insect repellant is a very good idea, I'll grab some today!

No issue for non-OcUKers going for me mate.

Very wet there today (****ed it down for 3 hours) but place running well.

Good session with Ridelines training course (on how to jump!).

One very large hole in my shin from a pedal slip (superstar nano's are lethal). But whet the appetite for Saturday!

Hmmmm. Fit the mudguards to my bike or have a wet arse?

Decisions, decisions.

Caseh · 27 Jun 2013 at 20:27

I'm taking my mudguard with me, if it is really that bad ill fit it.

weescott · 27 Jun 2013 at 20:56

Mudguards are for pussies.

Well in that case, call me Mr. Pussy McFurrypuss.

booyaka · 27 Jun 2013 at 21:45

Trails will be fine on Saturday - no need for mudguards.

I've got a Mucky Nutz always attached to the front wheel but that's it.

Caseh · 27 Jun 2013 at 22:02

Yeah true, if I remember it in the morning it goes, if not - I don't care.

Andelusion · 28 Jun 2013 at 07:45

I'm going to shame someone now: Well I'm here ready to go but CasKirensys has slept in. You suck and this is for your own good

Hope you boys have a cosy night! see you tomorrow around 10

weescott · 28 Jun 2013 at 19:52

Andelusion and Cas are in their wigwam alone with the curtains shut.

LeperousDust · 29 Jun 2013 at 08:37

Right should be en route in about 20 mins, takes about an hour to get there, although i've got an enepected detour on the way. Which means i'll be arriving around 10:30, hope you don't leave without me!

I'll be riding a white Cannondale Prophet and driving a silver Clio, if you're watching out for me

See you all soon!

meths · 29 Jun 2013 at 08:53

Leaving now as we'll should be there about 10.

Andelusion · 29 Jun 2013 at 09:43

Hey LeperousDust as you're driving, park up up at the buzzards nest car park, we'll meet you there. Give Ichabod a ring if you need to.

Andelusion · 29 Jun 2013 at 11:04

We're at the buzzards cp

LeperousDust · 29 Jun 2013 at 11:32

Bummers phone is being mega gay, I'm at spooky wood now, waited around.buzzards best before about 10:35 couldn't see anyone, or large groups... I guess another time!

Couldn' t see any phone numbers either, no worries though

Ready to rock, love my zip tie chain device top guide....

booyaka · 29 Jun 2013 at 19:36

cracking day out today - very enjoyable and leisurely pace. Good to see everyone again.

Apologies I couldn't stay later for the bike part etc but had to get home.

Will stick up a couple of pictures later on.
