Timolgra's Fault: Trail ride weekend in North Wales, December 29/30th 2007.

[GEH007]

And if you're not quite sure what Rick means by that here's just one of many photos where Timpo is seen both kissing and touching up a sheep

Are there not laws against that?

Mind you, I've seen Rick try and pull worse

Wahey! I've just found out that the kids are going to a New Years party with my ex, so I won't be taking them down to Poole, so I should be free for the 29th/30th...........
(Unless I can think of another excuse quickly )

OK, as M and P have totally failed to send what I ordered from them last week (New sprokets and tyres) I'm after a bit of advice.

1)What tyres would be suitable for this and FIM compliant (so I can use em for the Snowrun and stuff if I want to)(I was going for AC10's, but they're not suitable for quite a lot of enduro's and rally's)
2)Where can I get some from, preferably somewhere who also sell sproket and chains! They must be able to deliver before xmas so I can get me bike all farkled and reasy to go.

Michelin Deserts would be a good choice as they are also FIM compliant.

I'd have loved to have done this but unfortunately work is in the way.(lucky huh?!)
I was in Dolgellau the other week on a Weds and it rained so bad it knackered my phone!!

As for tyres,personally i would go for a Mich Comp 4 front and a comp 3 rear? although in my opinion,i'd get away with an FIM MITAS tyre or even a MITAS CO-2 but that's only because they're cheap(and satisfactory for my riding ability) and it would be a new one and not part worn.

Hope that helps.

Leaving at 9am from Pentrefoelas car park, just off the A5, approx 8 miles east of Betws y Coed on the left.

It's probably an idea to PM Timpo and myself your mobile number in case 'anything happens' on the two previous rides.

I was just about to ask the same question.

What about Saturday? I'm hoping to do both and meet Loz there.

The main car park in Dolgellau at the far end next to the rugby club.
Timpo will post a link with a map...I hope

I'll have to PM you on advrider, coz I'm stingy and I've not paid for this site.

Happily (I think?) I have managed to wangle a pass out for all three days! (Including Timpo's warm up ride on the friday) Any one requiring a bed for the night on any of the dates is more than welcome.

SATURDAY is PENTREFOELAS

OK Folks, the Saturday ride rendez-vous is just off the A5 trunk road here:-
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.s...=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf


We're looking at starting the ride from there at 0900hrs.
Bring plenty of fluid to drink as it will be a taxing ride.

Apologies but I am without internet connection for a period, but every chance I get to log-on here, I will do.

Timpo.

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.s...=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf

We're looking at leaving there at 0900hrs.
Whether we attempt to cross The Motorway will depend on the weather, so we'll leave it to the day to decide.

Grand Day Out (Thanks Timopo)

Thanks Timpo for a very challenging day out. We had a lot of rain the day before, so it was very wet.

Next time we should sick to Honda C90's they had not trouble getting through the mud.

We also found a new mountain bike for Loz, so he can't come to any harm

I’ve posted all the pictures and in full resolution on my Flicker account here if you want copies. http://www.flickr.com/photos/66685468@N00/sets/72157603586205397/
