What is the postcode for that Dom?

Cannop Cycle Centre

I know where it is, spent a few camping hols down that way. Gutted it doesn’t work for me tomorrow.

 

[Mad Mark]

Doesn’t seem to be much interest Dom so will give it a miss, will try and do Cannock again soon then you will have to organise a FOD rideout.
Still haven’t heard from AndyH yet, so might have to go to Cannock if he’s up here.

 

[Morton027]

then you will have to organise a FOD rideout.

I’ll definitely be up for trying the FoD trails sometime (maybe not the downhills - armour and full face helmet required apparently, items I don’t own).

 

[Kangr]

I would like to go to FOD sometime as well

 

[Morton027]

Still nothing from @AndyH , do hope he checks before heading up the country / isn’t up already.

 

[AndyH]

Hi guys. I am in the area already. I was originally from Stafford so visiting my parents in prep for the ride out. If it doesn’t happen then so be it- no worries. Will prob do the monkey and have a potter around for the sake of it- no hard feelings if it doesn’t go ahead I’ll just meet you on the next one! ?

 

[AndyH]

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 ?

Hi Mark- apologies- was driving til 4pm then with family so didn’t check in til 2330. If you’re at the RV at 0900 then great but if not DO NOT WORRY. I had a plan that if I missed the group or things got cancelled I was going to check out the monkey and dog trails and just have a firkle about so no great shakes. If you are still intending on coming, I can be reached on 07889094660.....

[AndyH]

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

No worries chaps. I am originally from Stafford and combined the ride with a Visit to my folks....I won’t expect to see anyone so, until next time!!?!?!?!......

 

[Mad Mark]

Right let’s start again - 11th or 18th or 25th of August
I can ride any Sunday
So please put in which date you prefer and we will see which suits best.
Then on the Day before, we will confirm weather and that the ride is still on.
Does this idea suit everybody?
If so put in a date, then I will start a new thread with the actual date and see if we can get more people ?

 

[Morton027]

Both 11th and 18th are fine for me. Let’s hope the weather is a bit less British ?

Hi Mark- you were right to cancel. It is wetter than an otters pocket out there.
I can do the 18th at a push.... tbc.
Thanks for trying so hard to get hold of me
Yesterday- appreciate the efforts made! No dramas tho- wanted to do the chase and combined a visit to my mum so I am still in her will. ?

Can do either date currently. Once it's confirmed on here I'll book that date off.

It's been miserable here all night and morning. Would've been no fun. Such a shame.

 

[billwarwick]

18 best for me but go with the majority

 

[Doomanic]

It was a beautiful summer's day in the FoD today...

...jus' sayin'...

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

It's been miserable here all day, like a winter's day.

Just to show you how much water has fallen here.... There's a trail under there!

didnt know they had built a trail there. it always looked like a place a trail would fit nice

 

[Morton027]

Wow that’s a good puddle

 

[AndyH]

I’ve added the 25th of August to the dates as well, as my mate John isn’t sure he can make the 18th.....so let me know what you think. ?

the 25th the bank holiday weekend?

25th is the BH weekend- so nocando from me I’m afraid- also might be a tad busy on the chase....

 

[Morton027]

I can do any of the dates as things stand.

 

[Mad Mark]

Didn’t realise it was a bank holiday weekend let’s just stick with the 11th or 18th then..... I will delete the other post

 

[Mad Mark]

Just waiting on, tunny - jet set demo - kangr - Dom - to reply then we can set a date out of the 2 dates
I will then start a new thread and see if we can get anybody else.

 

[Doomanic]

Either is fine.

 

[Kangr]

I can't say for sure yet as i'm not sure which weekends in august im busy. So pick the one thats most suitable for you guys

 

[JetSetDemo]

I think we should go for the 18th as this summer is shaping up to be nothing like last summer, looks like 10 days of rain ahead in the met office forecast.

 

[Mad Mark]

I agree 18th it is then, will write up a new thread tonight

 

[Tunny]

I'm in for the 18th

 

[Morton027]

I'm in for the 18th
