Isle of Wight ride! Sunday the 13th of May! aftermath page3

and i have to say i am struggling to decide which bike to use! :?

my (cough cough)modern clockwork is still my favourite but it has been set up for drew for mayhem so doesn't currently suit/fit me, i find myself torn between my proflex (because of the riser bar) and the fat chance because of being a hard tail with easier gears than the proflex . . . hmm :? :? :roll: :roll:

I didn't have much of a choice to make really. No way the Overbury's is being subjected to that much mud and my Jamis would kill me over those hills.
I almost just checked the Santa Cruz on the roof rack, but put in a bit of effort and got my Girlfriends Rock Lobster set up for me.
First proper ride since I built it for her, so there could be some mechanicals :roll:
I'm DJing tonight, but hope to be able to escape around midnight.
Could be a tired bunny in the morning

I fancied taking my Bear Valley but I'm a whore to my modern bike so I'll probably be boring and just bring that.

Change the time of your DJ set... bed now, get up at 4, DeeJay at 5, then back home for shower n' breaky, then ride

Right then,

Weekend off work = Check
Ride yesterday to make sure
gears/ brakes are dialled in = Check
Early night = Check
Wake to up a rather lovely morning = Check
Plug dead phone in = Check
Get a message from brother saying i'll have to pick up our mum from
hospital today at some point because he can't hang around waiting for them to ring = Check... FOR F****S SAKE!
I wonder what my excuse for missing the next ride will be? :roll:

I was on the way!!

awesome ride today, just the 4 of us along with about 8000 ramblers! :evil: :evil: :evil:

we managed to avoid for the most part but some were worth opening gates for etc!

we found a few new alternative routes as a result of avoiding the red sock brigade aswel which turned out to be a bonus including one epic climb!! :shock:

here's my one pic from the day!

tintin has more!
