I'm sure MTBing is a summer fad?

But i'd be up for that, not been out since we were last over Thorndon with the Fozzies Apr/May time. For a first ride out in a while I think Thornton would be best?

Still got family today / tomoz, got to work a few hours Mon, Tues/Wed/Thurs good. Let me know. Simon will prob come over as well.

I could be up for this mate.

I think you should take Lady Fozz off the list though......8 months pregnant and cycling don't mix!

I'm pretty sure Stu has sold his bike.

Anyone got a 20" plus off-road bike they are thinking of selling?

Took mine to Germany and don't really want to bring it back on the RS

Cheers

Still got mine not for sale though, I would have to move the 8 wheels, bonnet and tools (filed as 'strewn') blocking it in !

Paul, the outer paths are all pretty much hard cinder trails, so your tyres will prob be ok. Personally as a first ride out, I expect only to ride on these.
