trailblazer,

Maybe we can catch up there?

I have recruited a posse of me and about 5 others.

You thinking of doing the 18 or 30 km?

Mr Llama,

I hope the back is better soon. Me and the crew from work will be out there around 0900. All seven of us will be noticable by our matching team shirts and pasty white office-tans.

The 30 km starts at 10 now and the 18 km at 1015.

Yah, cool. I'll try hunt you down if I do end up going. I don't do organisation, and its all dependant on how physio goes friday. I'll either be on a reign 1 (if doing 30km), or a DMR singlespeed (if doing 18) Smile

Cool dude. We are not planning to ride together, we have a mix of riding abilities. The main bit of organisation is the mish to the kcoc and Bull after!

Hope it all goes well at the physio. Tim Robinson in Dinsdale is a freakin' legend if you need a good pop and crack. He fixed me up good when I popped a couple of ribs at Castlerock.

All done! Just got back. I am downloading the pics at the moment and will post them up shortly.

Friendly Llama - gutted!

Some of it was pretty tough going, the rain overnight and this morning made a lot of the track a bog, but it was a good day out nonetheless!

Watch this space for photos soon...
