I thought id bash this up to see this time next year what ive actually done. Id settle for 50% - here goes Do a PORC race - Done Do another Aston hill race - Fail Do a bit of BMX - Fail Return to the N downs - havent done it in aaaages and its always good - Tom get on it and hook us up with Travis - Done Return to Cannock on a day ride and maybe check out Style cop - Done Make it to FOD - Done Make it to Gawton - long shot this but might be able to work it into a family holiday - Fail but could be sorted Make it to the Alps for a week - will post up about this shortly - Fail Learn to jump properly and with a bit of style rather than just hanging on - Hmm maybe Stop looking at my front wheel while riding and look ahead more - Getting there Run a complete jump line at Chase farm - the prior 2 points are a pre-requisite to this - Getting there Stop buying tyres - Done Buy a hardtail to shred epping and sell my Cannondale Prophet - Done Finnish off the videos from the summer which are lingering on my hard drive - Done Work on the photo skills to get better pics from days out and trips - Working on it BOOM thats about it - whats on everyone else's list Happy NY Everyone |

My list is very dull and short. Ride Epping Forest, Get passed the one stop Stratford Central without getting kicked off. Train fair will cost 18quid so will made a full day of it. Be able to ride long with out keep needing to stop. As above Ride faster. Learn how to wheelie/manual. Happy New Year EH MTB |

Happy new year! The list is too long so I only list the things which have a reasonable big chance to happen: -keep riding as much as possible and enjoy every minute of it -get used to riding in a flat country again -a couple of DH trips to Winterberg/Willingen -trip to the filthy trails -do a week in the alps without ending up possessing a couple of X-rays as a reminder to it -do a (mid)week scotland (7 stanes or whereever) -ride the mini dowhill cup in holland -another daytrip cwmcarm -ride trek bike attack (have been invited by a group of friends but must resist.........) -and probable some XC endurance races race since Gorrick this year was good fun Laser wrote: My list is very dull and short.

All ready planning ahead this year.. Just ride more (and not just to the pub and back each time) Be more comfortable jumping and in drops. Not going to the Alps this year But will do a week long UK road trip, So any surgestions on places to go? Keep my new bike cleaner than the last one Do the London to Brighton BHF (off road) again, and not to keep stopping for ages at each checkpoint. Party harder |

Quote: Buy a hardtail to shred epping and sell my Cannondale Prophet Got by Cotic Soul up for sale My belated list: Ride a lot more of both road and MTB. Do Brechfa, North Downs, Grizedale forest, Snowdonia and Swinley forest. Another training day with T. Sell Cotic and replace with light weight full susser. Beef up Norco: Single ring front with chainguide and DH tyres. Learn how to bleed brakes. |
