Dont worry chap if you pop around one evening we can rob the cassette and chain off of the Clockwork for sunday (cant do friday or saturday as im doing the racksaw at yesterdays farming)

Cheers Toad i have another cassette and spare links for chain, chap....
So no need to rob the orange.......

don't know if i can make it to yours ( will try ) i'm working plus ripping out my backgarden the wife will have my balls if i vanish to play with bikes... :cry:

there is a chance that i'll have my specialized i bought today by the weekend, which would be cool.

the climbs are not very steep but there are 2 quite long but not too techy climbs. i predict everyone will be knackered but the final decent will be fun
think its best to avoid dunster as it's mental there on sundays... prob just drop down into minehead at the end it avoids 2 miles of road too

What specialized did you get??? a stumpy, rockhopper.............

What year is it..... post a pic, Dirtjumper......
