It's definantly fun iin thw wet but for me I've been before so I want to go in the dry so I can go mad and also wearing glasses they steam up in the rain and wet and it's very hard for me to ride.

This is absolutely true :thumbup: I must agree with you on all of these .

I'll PM you my phone number, could you text me if your going or not possibly later in the week?


Well its not just £20 sadly.also its a petrol money,travel time,you will not really enjoy it and to clean the bike. Lucky they have a jetwash there. I'm saying this only if its really pudding down . See you on Saturday hopefully. Thanks for number.

Just checked the website and its been closed yesterday and today, presumably because of the weather.
i know there were quite a few of us who booked for this but the weathers obviously putting people off. not looking good for the rest of the week, although friday night and saturday are meant to be drier there but think its fair to say the trails are going to be wet.
this will be my first proper downhill and although ive ridden the likes of danbury before in the wet, i dont wanna get out of my depth.
trying to get an idea of whos still going, so as long as it is not totally pissing down, can you post up if you will be there.
this was originally posted up as 'beginners', i definately fall into that category, anyone else?

FOD is awesome fun in the wet - embrace the sliding and filth - get loose, and it will be such good fun!

I'm not going.

It's more the problem of not being able to see in the wet with my googles on and glases.

Just been for a "warm up" at PORC today, a Kayak would have been more suitable, place was like a river, but SO much fun! :)

Whyteboy, if Stefan decides not come, would I be able to pinch a lift with you?

I'm still up for coming, but my car is rubbish and dead and doesn't like hills, was in 1st gear going up the hills around PORC and sounded like it was going to explode! :p
