OK

Hand is mended and brother is up so we would be up for some action. Keen to show my brother some of our spots - his local is Poldice valley or Gawton.

Pretty flexible on location and day depending on the weather but thoughts are so far:

Checking out greensands (looks hard tailish and he is riding an Sx Trail with totems so not sure if he would have fun)
Big bike action at Aston then Woburn for an hour (keen on this one)
Danbury (equally this would be fun)

Would probably start early morning and look to be home by about 3 ish on either day.

Any takers to join us?

Nigel

Nice one man - i have a full on pass for Sunday so keen to get some action in.

Id skip Aston in with all the rain thus far it will be tricky to get any flow with that greasy chalk

Might use the time to check this out as well

Depends on the weather I suppose - may worth a Woburn and Chicksands combo.

That place looks cool and pretty nearby - may pop over to that one another day for a quicky

Sorry a bit late notice, will do big bikes at Woburn.

Was meant to be taking it easy after the hand mending but brotherly rivalry is already turning this weekend into a progression session for me as he is better. Did all the drop offs at Chickie yesterday for the first time.

Be great to see you there if you can make it. We will have to be away no later than 2 pm

No worries.. wasn't sure if you were going so eyed up a pm sesh then it tipped down - had to put the bike back together as well from the trip as it was still in a bag and that took all frikin day - hope you had a good one.

Very good one - after the rain it was running really fast - my brother id that middle line we spent a long time on the first drop last time and my new favourite line is the 4 jumps on the top of the hip line hill then hitting the drop off to the gully.

they have been digging - there is lots more there.
