Surrey Hills - Emtb Forum 19th Sept

[VWsurfbum]

As per request,

Meet up at the top car park near Yoghurt pots in Holmbury. (link Here) Hurtwood Car Park 1 (Holmbury Hill) · Peaslake, Dorking RH5 6NU

I'll do my best to cater for all and give an overview of trails, fast/slow/techy/not so jumpy etc.

Aim for 9:30 start, will be done by 13:00 i guess after cheese straws and coffee.

 

[Doomanic]

[Dave_B]

yarp.

 

[DJ57UMP]

Why would you tag me in this? I mean I’ll probably be there, I’ll probably drive us there, just feels a little impersonal to tag me when we’re all on WhatsApp every 5 mins!

?

Mmmm...cheese straws..?
Nearly worth the 650mile round trip ?..

To be fair, they are pretty damn good.

 

[nosuchuser]

Tentative from me, celebrating the wife's birthday on the 18th.

 

[R120]

Family commitments aside I may join.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I’ll be there (99%)

 

[DJ57UMP]

Ah man, no pressure!

Will you be able to cope with the gnar after the Trans Savoie?

 

[Sirwincealot]

I should be there. Assuming I can get hold of a replacement cassette for my Rail in time!

 

[Doomanic]

SRAM or Shimano?

 

[Jimbo Vills]

I'm up for this!

 

[Sirwincealot]

SRAM or Shimano?

SRAM GX Eagle.. apparently as rare as hens teeth at the moment. I may have just bagged a new one on eBay ?

 

[MrSimmo]

99% in for this, will probably be on my lonesome so be nice ? ?

 

[Sirwincealot]

@Cricket23 in case you and Josh fancy another ride out to the Surrey Hills

 

[MrSimmo]

I'll aim to get to the car park for 9am to avoid the usual parking craziness...

I'll be in a silver transporter van with a black Levo.

How will we all recognise each other? Should we have a secret EMTBForums wheelie or something?

 

[Doomanic]

I'll be in a silver transporter van

Of course you will... ?

Is it really that bad? It's a 2.5hr drive for me!

I'll be the only bloke not in a Transporter...

Haha, It'll be easy though to find me as they'll only be another 750 or so silver transporters in the carpark...

I've only ever parked in Walking Bottom 2 (the one at the bottom of the hill) but its always been rammed from about 9. This car park may be fine though. Worth a local confirming.

I'll be the only bloke not in a Transporter...

I'm in the market to sell mine so you'd be welcome to join the super-niche few if you bought it!

I paid 6 grand for it in 2019, ragged it, kids have left sausage rolls from last year in it, its scratched and dented, gearbox is knackered and engine sounds like its on fire; but thanks to covid/brexit/other-buzzwords I'm open to offers above 15 grand ?

 

[R120]

and riding a Santa Cruz

 

[JetSetDemo]

You have space for the recovering cripple?

 

[MrSimmo]

You have space for the recovering cripple?

Only if you have a transporter van ?

 

[JetSetDemo]

No van but have a Santa Cruz?

 

[MrSimmo]

?

You'll fit right in, watch out though as the surrey locals may try to adopt you!

 

[JetSetDemo]

I’m handy with scissors and tape, I might try and build a transporter out of cardboard boxes from work to stick over the car, just to complete the picture

 

[cozzy]

Ill be in my nissan van with my kenevo. Riding injured but looking forward to this (weather permitting as I dont ride in the rain )
