Forest Of Dean, The one with hills... 28 September

[Mad Mark]

Thought as much. Bit of a sadistic streak there, I reckon. I would have been laying on the floor more than Demo, if that’s possible ?.
Anyone measure the distance covered and battery usage?
Would a 400 battery have made it?

I did 18.8 miles & had 3 miles left on my 500w battery.....but used emtb mode all the time

 

[Ryder77]

This was such a blast.

Great group, super encouraging for a new rider and I did trails/obstacles I wouldn't have done solo and learned alot.

Many thanks to @Doomanic for organising, leading and the encouragement all day, to @JetSetDemo for showing me his strategic lines and @Tunny for the tips (and lesson in evasive strategy ), and everyone else for the laughs and a great day.

Look forward to riding with you all again

 

[Eduardoramundo]

Which one of you is on the cube? I think you let me and my mate have a go on it?

 

[Eduardoramundo]

I set up a FB group for anyone that fancies a FOD ride.

[Doomanic]

There's already a few arsebook groups for eMTB @ FoD, why not just shout out on here?

 

[Morton027]

People on here are of a far superior calibre too ?

 

[AverageJoeMTB]

Bugger. Didn't see this till I spotted someone's Strava from yesterday ?

Will get out for the next one. Got some new trails a little further a field you all might like ?

I’m free next weekend and always interested in riding new trails.

 

[Dax]

Maybe weekend after? Think I'm free then.

 

[Doomanic]

I fly to Crete that weekend.

 

[Ryder77]

I'm up for this

What can I say, I like Doom and it is the perfect time of year to get over to Crete

All the same, go steady, you saw what he did to the knobs on his tyre ....

Souvlaki, tsipouro and a hardtail will make everything ok

 

[Coburn]

Any plans for another ride out at FOD soon?

 

[Doomanic]

Any time you like.

@AverageJoeMTB has hinted about some different trails I'm keen to ride, so I'm hoping that will be soon.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Any time you like.

The photo's from last time gave the impression a lot of time was spent lounging around on the floor. Do you advise bringing a roll up ground mat for comfort ?

Camp bed and Self inflating Mat for best comfort ?

There will be something soon I think . If not FOD then maybe Cannock. Keep watching.

 

[Doomanic]

I’m happy to do a FoD Ride pretty much any weekend, just give me a shout.

Except next weekend as I’m in Crete. Not riding.

Hope you do better than me . Just back from Zante . 3 good days out of 7. Lots of thunderstorms. If you going to Rythmnon in Crete, try the e-scooters on the promenade.

 

[Doomanic]

28deg and clear skies today.

It's not fair .. I want to give a "funny" to Daxs crap ... Maybe I need to change my "hot" to "crap" to celebrate dax's ... but no one's celebrated dax's crap since that week he was constipated.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Not riding.

You've got to appreciate the honesty of a guy who knows where he stands with the ladies .

 

[Doomanic]

I did try and go live on FB earlier but she kyboshed that idea.

 

[Tom_199]

Considering heading over to fod this Saturday. Anybody around and fancy a ride if I do?

 

[Doomanic]

I'll be there at some point with @Ryder77 and @Dax (if his Doris lets him out to play...)

Where were you thinking of riding?
