Despite a none-too-promising start to the day, it was dry and sunny all evening in the Tweed Valley. Dougie and I of this Parish, along with Owen and Euan,...
Hello all, Anyone going up the Pentlands this Saturday? It'll be my first time out in ages on my mountain bike (and indeed my first time out with the ERC MTB...
Steven, I think there has been half a dozen or more people out every week over the past wee while. Can anyone say for sure that they will be there tomorrow? -...
Would anyone be willing to talk me through/show me how to do double jumps on wed night at gt? There's quite a few at Innerleithen and yesterday I almost came...
I can't do them either: if a jump's not rollable I just get off and walk. But I've always thought a tabletop would make a safe practice jump for doubles. Think...
Yep Les, Tabletops are much safer to practice on than doubles. Same technique, just not so bad if you get it wrong. Then when you get it right, the doubles...
... There is a nice one to practice on, on the Blue free ride as you come out of the trees if I remember correctly. Graeme http://homepage.mac.com/fuzzytnth3/ ...
hum, am scared now....tabletops eek!! not feeling the most confident it has to be said, after a face plant at IL yesterday (but then monday just wouldn't be...
I'm not often moved to comment however... Ref Claire's note, whilst I agree with DC that table tops are safer than doubles, safer still would be a ramp on flat...

All valid points Craig, I dunno what her riding is like, but from what she tells me it sounds like she is ready to take on Steve Peat lol!! ;-)) Which, on that...
Thanks for the comments/advice - partic Craig.... i guess my other option is to then slow down and roll the doubles if i can't jump them? bunny hops - toil a...
... It sounds like it's time to resurrect the Skills Sessions at the Glentress skills loop. The idea was to have them regularly on the third Saturday of each...
Hello Just a note about Glen Tilt this coming Saturday 10th July. Plan is to meet at the car park at Old Bridge of Tilt just at the back of Blair Atholl (NN...
The freeride area at GT is ideal for getting a feel for doubles. Lara wanted some practice at drop-offs and jumps so we had a couple of hours there on Sat...
... no idea .... but I'll be at the stage finish in Villard-de-Lans on Tue 20th and then bivvi'ing out somewhere on Alpe-de-Huez to get a prime spot for the TT...
Hels is doing L'Etape du Tour which is the punter's day race, run the day before the professionals hit the same route. I think her stage is Monday 12th July...
It's pleasing to see the Tour de France on ITV2 every night at 7 till 8 but does when else can it be seen ie other channels such as Eurosport and is there a...
Yes, and it's good that they put it out at prime-time too. No more setting the video for the early hours and watching it a day late like when C4 did it. As for...
Who's Glentressing tonight..? I'll be doing a slow blue route with Joanna. Hopefully see a few of you down there - no doubt any Alpinists present will be...
I will be there tonight giving the body armour a try out- but hopefully not by falling on it. Fi ... From: Colin [mailto:colin@...] Sent: 07 July 2004...
Yup, Eurosport covers several (painful - see Duffers comment below) hours every day. Will let people know when I intend to watch it all though e.g. the Alpe...
Yes, I'll be there too, but definitely taking it easy and not taking any risks. I can't decide between a round of the blue route or some jump practice in the...
Me too, going for an easy ride tonight, feeling a little under the weather. forgot body armour, so won't necessarily be doing jumps/freeride given that i've...
What's mincing? I'm going virtually straight up to the mast for some Alpine climbing practice and down the Black missing out Deliverance/Redemption and Black...
... Watch Eddie Izzard or Graham Norton (if you can bear to!) ... You've left it too late for that. You should be tapering this week, that's what Fi and I are...
... None or very minimal Duffers' input this year as he is hiding in the studio in Paris (he is getting on a bit remember). Not that his replacement Mike Smith...
