CANNOCK CHASE " THE SEQUEL " 28th of July ( it's about time )

[Morton027]

I’m hoping to make it, tooth (or lack of) has been giving me a bit of grief but it’s only been out 2 days.

 

[AndyH]

looks like about 9 of us with my mate Jonny
Not sure if billwarwick or Morton are going to make it .....you will have to let us know
Looking forward to meeting AndyH as one of the newer members, especially as he’s coming all the way from Portsmouth.
I’m sure you will have a great day at Cannock chase...we always do ?

Really looking forward to meeting you all- been riding alone for far too long so sure I am slower, crapper and more cautious than anyone else.....
Unfortunately I did collect a massive split in my rear tyre today bouncing along a flint path. Gonna need a new tyre but fingers crossed all will be sorted for the trip up....?

You’ll have to compete with me for slowest and most cautious ?

 

[Morton027]

I see the forecast has flipped on it’s head again

 

[Mad Mark]

Nice warm rain to cool us down ?

 

[MrDuece]

Hi all. Can’t join you this time due to not having a bike (!) but plans are afoot so hopefully next time. I live near Derby so Cannock is my nearest trail centre. Have a good one.

Can't believe the weather

It's not because Rob said he's coming is it

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Tomorrow is not looking great. Do you want to reschedule?

It's been raining quite a lot all night and today. It's not due to stop until Monday morning. The trails will be shit because it's been so dry and this much rain won't soak in.

What you think?

 

[Mad Mark]

I’m still up for going, but if your not going AMC, i wouldn’t be able to find the trails off piste.
See what others say
Or we could do the Dog & Monkey, they would be wet but rideable

 

[Morton027]

Latest forecast on my app looks better for tomorrow. I’m up for riding to the conditions, or whatever the group decides tbh.

 

[Kangr]

I was going to ask if this was still happening as its pretty grim weather wise here in stoke at the moment

 

[billwarwick]

I’m pissed off because I’ve really been looking forward to this, especially as there’s a couple of folks coming who would be joining me at the back of the pack?. I’ve got a shoulder injury that is still giving me stick. It’s ok in the normal riding position but if I were to fall off and land on it , it would be game over and the wet conditions make that quite likely. Don’t think I can take the risk really, would have been ok if dry.
I’m not wimping out because of the rain. I was there for the wet one when AMC only managed to get a few hundred yards before his chain got mangled into the rear wheel. Now that was a wet day!

 

[Doomanic]

I'm still nursing a sprained shoulder so I'm happy to reschedule.

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Well it's still raining. Roads and paths flooded. That's nearly 24 hours and the BBC have it stopping at 1am Monday.

I'm not pussying out, I've really been looking forward to this as I've not been out much the last fortnight. The thing for me is a can't just peel off and go home if it's shit or I'm fed up being wet as I'm the map lol.

I can do most Sundays in August if you wanna reschedule. I can move things around too, as I do like this group ride...

How depressing, Monday is the only day in the next fortnight that's not raining. Wtf!

 

[Mad Mark]

Sounds like it might be better to reschedule then, I hope AndyH is going to see this he was coming up from Portsmouth

 

[Mad Mark]

A message to AndyH if you have driven up today and you are stopping in a hotel or B&B, then me and John will still meet you at the arranged time and place and we will take you round the monkey & dog, I would hate for you to have traveled all that way not to go out.......if you haven’t let me know and we can rearrange another time when the weather is better for the whole group to ride out again ?
Please post a reply before 9 o’clock tonight so I can confirm with my mate.
Cheers ?

I'm happy to reshedule if that's what's decided, just need confirmation today.

You're gonna love the new jump line.

 

[Kangr]

reschedule sounds good to me.
looking at future dates I don't think I can do next sunday as im supposed to be at Ard Rock Enduro manning the Burgtec stand

 

[JetSetDemo]

Reschedule sounds best I think.

 

[billwarwick]

Thanks for trying anyway, Mark ?. Bet you’re mad.....

 

[Doomanic]

Anyone fancy an impromptu FoD ride?

 

[Mad Mark]

That’s it then tomorrow is definitely off
Put forward any other dates and we will try and make it happen ?

 

[Tunny]

 

[Tunny]

Fod looks good if we all fancy a change of location

 

[Morton027]

I’m free every weekend other than next weekend during August as far as I know.

 

[Morton027]

Got visitors tomorrow afternoon, FoD is too far to make it back for a reasonable time unfortunately.
I do fancy trying out the trails there sometime though.

 

[Mad Mark]

Me & John are up for FOD tomorrow if anybody else is ?
Jet set demo if you wanted to come to my house you can put your bike in our van we have a spare space in the holder, I only live in burton which would save you having to go on your own ?

 

[Doomanic]

10:30 at the cycle centre?
