Summertime Weekday evening pogo sessions

Fanum · Apr 11, 2005

We did one last year, and it was a good evening out for a muddy bimble with good company...sadly, it was late in the year and the nights drew in before we got any more in......

So shall we do it again this year...maybe every other weds night or just ad-hoc, just a couple of hours riding, a pint and a packet of crisps and the usual BS talked??

I quite fancy doing that Bluebell hill route again (remember Speggo nearly getting the pots wedged in that 'v; rut lol!!!), going up and down it, with a few more lanes that are close by.

No dates in mind yet, but probably soonish after Land's End.

Nothing too serious, but a chance to get out into the countryside with friends for a few hours stress relief around Kent/Essex.

Who's up for it??

I might have some Bill, how rough does it get?

Fanum · Apr 11, 2005

As rough as you want it mate

no, seriously, this isn't a Blue Sweeper all day mudplug, where you get up the next day and feel like you've been squished by a 32 tonner......I see this as a casual ride on a warm evening, a few muddy bits taken nice and slow, a few technical bits (like that chute up the chalk downs...that was good fun

) and then a quick drinky and chill time before heading home.

Speggo did the evening on his Adv last year (pics are on here somewhere, there was a ride report) and we had a laugh...that's all it's supposed to be.

It'd be fun for everyone to take turns in sorting a route and leading too.....

Let's see who else is up for it and we can take it further.

sounds good to me too.

Fanum · Apr 17, 2005

'k, great- I'll take a look at the diary later and see when lighting up time gets to a sensible hour, then post a suggested route/meeting etc.

After this weekend, I'll be on a knobblied Adv though- no more skinny bike wussing out.

stumpi · Apr 19, 2005

I'd be interested, so long as its not too far from me, although am I allowed to come on my pogo....

Phil Reynolds · Apr 19, 2005

Course you are Stumpi old son, Fanum's only bringing his GS so's he can use his panniers as stabilisers to keep him upright.

Lol,

Righto, best get me muddy gear ready then.

Looking forward to it.

BS Talked

Me and the boy's will have some of that! We usually go for a bit of a raid on our skinny bikes in the after-evenings, work permitting that is. Might be a good chance to meet some of you blokes. Cheers, Mark.

Ride outs

Newbie here, don't know much about bikes, (mechanically speaking) and haven't done much off roading, but would love to join in the fun sometime!

Based in East London

bandit · Apr 25, 2005

yup me too.

if we make it a regular day i can arrange my diary round it, and different people can host/guide it.

Fanum · Apr 25, 2005

Coolies.

From May 1st until the middle of Aug, sunset in Kent is 8-30 ish or later, so I'll get a post up straight after Llangollen about the first ride

.

ride outs

Fanum,

Was wondering about those rideouts? Are they going to happen? Or have I missed something?

BTW I don't get out of work 'til 18:30 or 19:00 so depending on where they are I might not be able to make it down anyway, tube home, get bike, get to where ever oh it's nine o'clock....

What about weekends??

Fanum · Jun 4, 2005

Oooer.....I'd forgotten all about arranging one!!

Anyone any thoughts about having one soon??

How about Weds the 15th, starting from Eynsford and doing pretty much the same route as we did last year (including that steep chute climb that was fun

)

I'll be on the Adv, so it won't be too tough, but wtf, I'm game to take it up there

Thoughts??

As soon after 1800 as we can, a few hours riding then a pint ??

It shouldn't be too difficult to arrange a meet for someone who can't make it out until 1900 ish to join up with us .

Where's Eynsford Bill??

Or in English, 2 miles from the M25 J3.

Nice but expensive pub, and a nice ford right outside to start the evening with

Phil Reynolds · Jun 5, 2005

Bill, I'll be there. 'Bout time you made this event happen.... it's been far tooooooooo long.

Beemer · Jun 5, 2005
