We currently have a Cadet on loan from that generous man Nigel Dabster. I do know that a certain person has given the little bike a 'tweak' so it may not perform exactly standard but I fail to grasp why the Cadet hasn't sold in numbers as a learner bike. It's cracking little thing, everything a new starter needs.

Simply flip the top off the throttle assembly & take the cable off the plastic disky circly thingy.

There's a hand me down system but I'd say there'd be enough flags in circulation to have the Scott, All days of the 3 Day & probably 2 or 3 club Trials all marked out at the same time.

So what would happen to a club say that had 10000 flags or so currently in stock, all bought & paid for?

In previous years I've produced a spectator guide in the forums. As the Trial is running in reverse direction this year I've written a new version of this which includes four suggested spectator routes for the day. To the best of my knowledge this will be in the programme this year.

http://www.kepplewray.org.uk/default.htm I stayed here last time I rode, they did bed & brekkie & also allowed us to shower after the trial, before we drove home. It's a Youth Hostel with shared rooms etc. Good value for money & very welcoming. Also in town & not far to stagger home when you're p****d on both Friday & Saturday night. Dabster as ever was a smug **** when he got shown to a room of his own, wasn't as smug when got woke up by Baldilocks ^ co when they turned up late to share his room.

Staying at home next May?

We can't quite put our finger on why but several of us have had to spend the last 24 hours in a darkened room, some of us may never recover.

T'awd lass fancied a ride round Ishy mountain, musta bin reet grand as't daft bugger's off back fer more.

He was here a couple of weeks back, did a days marking out for the 3 Day & then Observed at the Mintex, Mr Helpful as ever.

Ha Ha, funnily enough I walked, more like skidded, down a Scott section tonight whilst doing my bit to reduce the Swaledale bunny population, had to leave the sheep alone as George was with me.

Yes, you always have to grind the frame & engine numbers off before you powder coat a bike, it's the law.

When somebody left the sluice gates open for the SSDT 2008 you would not have wanted to go under the bridge on the right hand side, it was fairly deep where the section was. Nice idea but I'd bet it'd be difficult to get it right.

Nah, it's my short attention span, anything longer than a minute & I'm ****ed.

Stop watching this boring crap & watch the Grand Prix Speedway, it's got to be the best Saturday night viewing ever. This season the tracks seem to be set up for passing & with no one being dominant predicting the winner is difficult. At 2 rounds a month it makes the SKY worthwhile.

Obviously you didn't see the pile of Crosser & Clarky frames in the Sandifords sale. Ride any bike hard enough, regularly enough & it will break.

Guessing your rear brake pedal is bent, you can stand on it with both feet & you'll not get the leverage to work it. Fit a sherco one or if you've got more money buy one from H & D, both work far better than the standard pedal & are wont bend like the standard ones do.

It's all down to other factors, the fact that the Mintex can be run at all is down to the goodwill of the Landowners. Early summer is the breeding time for the grouse, they're currently on hatching & in the early weeks of their lives. Grouse are wild birds & they can not be farm reared as say pheasant & partridge, so the moor is their only home. Ultimately the moor is used for the grouse shooting season, it's managed & provides a considerable income to the local economy with both permanent & seasonal jobs. You now know why it's not any earlier, I'm buggered if I know why a date was given that clashed with BC round but that's the date given & it can't be altered. Dates given is also the factor why RMC didn't repeat the A/B round. So, it's up to the lads, either they ride what is a once a year chance to do something very very different or ride in a British Championship round.

I bought one of those a couple of years ago, quality piece of kit. By adding a couple of hooks on the front side of the frame to carry a bike between the car & the posts it'll carry five bikes. I've also had a bracket made to fix the rack to the garage wall so that the bikes can be hung up when not in use.

Aye, the little wheels are spinning, I bet few more elevations make it back in next year, a trip over Annat looms.

Don't seem to go full screen though? I've found the GPS accuracy tends to fall in valleys & in built up areas. I like the stats, 5300 feet of elevation gain / loss, that's a mile up & down. Wonder what Thursday looks like.

Can you convert the file into .gpx format? These can be viewed with Google Earth.

Sorry, you are right, all the years merge into one at times, I forgot that Doug didn't turn up last year.
