[akkypac]

Thanks for the updates, Rob. Looking forward to what looks to be a fantastic ride with some great company.

Have just acquired the Wahoo ELEMNT bike computer to help get around in general and have just posted review in case anyone else is interested.

Would love to come Rob, but I am in Wales. Maybe if you go to BPW again or something else near like Afan, I could join the group.

 

[Stumpy]

At last, picked up my Levo today so I’m in!

Confirmed with the Boss I am all in for the ride out, also will be at Cannock 7am tomorrow, Sunday 24th, for Dog and Monkey for a cheeky 2hr blast before the Bakewell Dog show with the outlaws if anyone is about.

I’m up for tagging along, weather’s set to be nice next weekend too. Will hire a van. How many batteries are you guys taking?

Around the green that you see by the start point isn’t too bad. Otherwise we might need to find a spot close and walk to the meet point at the green ?

 

[Stumpy]

It's a great feeling having an e-bike, hills like this would have worried me on a traditional bike but now I just see them as a time to rest a little

 

[Dawnrazor]

I'm hoping to be there... legs permitting.

 

[SteveVentoux]

@Dawnrazor I'm hoping to be there....bike permitting

 

[JetSetDemo]

I will be there for sure, arriving around 10am as I don’t want to hit the M25 any later, I am coming down from Ashby-de-la-Zouch in the midlands

 

[R120]

Shaping up to be a nice little meet up!

 

[Ryder]

Will try to make it, just to make sure there is something other than Levos! Contracted Lyme desease from a tick bite recently so feeling a bit crappy. I'll have to see how I feel

 

[Doomanic]

I am coming down from Ashby-de-la-Zouch in the midlands

Bloody hell, that's keen!

 

[JetSetDemo]

Bloody hell, that's keen!

I have a lot of free time at the weekend and I am an early riser so if my wife is working I don’t mind driving 3hrs for a good trail, I mostly ride Cannock as it’s 35mins away but also a lot of trips to Sherwood pines, Dalby which is a good 2hrs 30min and of course much of Wales is only a 1-2hr drive (not been to BPW yet)

 

[Doomanic]

Cannock is 65 miles for me and I'm not a big fan of the place, although it's a lot better on an eBike than a clockwork bike. I've only ridden the Dog and Monkey, have you ridden much of the off-piste stuff?

 

[Eckythump]

How long are you planning on being out for?
I’m supposed to be working until lunch. May be able to sneak off a little early but will not make 10am perhaps I can catch up with you when I get over?

Dalby is pretty miserable unless you are on an ebike. Hamsterley is much more fun and would be quicker for you to drive to I would have thought.
Grenoside and Wharncliff at Sheffield are really good too and even closer.

 

[JetSetDemo]

I will add them to the visit list ?? TBH Cannock is a little tame but it’s on the door step so a regular for me

 

[Eckythump]

I rode there on my clockwork bike the backend of last year and wasn’t that enamoured. The ebike would put a different complexion on it though I’m sure.

 

[Jonowinter]

Hi Rob

I’m in. ??????

 

[Knobby]

I’ll try and come next time!

 

[akkypac]

I'm in too.

 

[Knobby]

Don’t you need a permit to ride at swinley?

 

[Jonowinter]

Looking forward to tomorrow guys. Just getting the Levo ready.
