Hi

A friend of mine is feeling a bit shackled in life, really wants to throw off his chains, so to speak. He feels his weekends are locked down before he even starts. But he fancies doing a bit of trailing, tho' worried he wont get past the first hurdle.

He wants to unload but feels there is something that will stop him. I have told him its time to unlock himself from these thoughts but still he feels there's something missing.

Clive, as a seasoned, experienced campaigner I thought I might turn to you for words of wisdom, and advice, on what makes a great days trail riding. What's the real key to it all.

Hate to say it you missed a great days riding.

Oh, and thanks for the sweets...

All the best guys,

PS for DaveG - I got up the snarly b*stard hill...

Just,

took a bit of leg work tho!
 
Yep, Clives definatley seasoned, well weathered,:aidan
 
Very good, although I thought I was reading a page from the agony aunt column to begin with!

By the way, a new side stand for my bike is £80 !!!!!! :ronno

Pick the old one up from the local welder tomorrow :beerjug:

Bloody bike....... It obviously knew what was coming on the trails and didn't fancy it. Thank God electric start started to work again during the ride - can't kick it left footed.

For me a great days riding is:

Being out with friends who are always willing to give you a hand. (lets cut it off):beerjug:
Being willing to have a go at anything that comes up. Its the only way to learn.:eek:
Don,t be to stuck up your own arse about breaking your bike. It,ll mend.But chains are too expensive to cut.:mad:
Always take sweeties with you for the afternoon when the tiredness creeps in.:thumb2
Always take keys for any locks you may be using. Be prepared to get laughed at and pictures taken of your predicament.:augie

That is the KEY to my success

Clive, you're a good sport.

I would have got really snotty about it, if it were me...., but then I was the one who started the Cambrian two years ago with my fuel tap shut off - Which I clearly remember you found hilarious.

And if I remember correctly I was just a tad faster than yourself over the specials.

You have managed to get a touch quicker in your old age.
