At 8:53pm on April 6, 2008, Crispy said…: Hi Upforit, just read the ride report on MTBE, sounds like a tough one! Hope you enjoyed it anyway.

At 8:44pm on April 3, 2008, Crispy said…: Yeah, they are a nice bunch, just stick a post on the MTBE forum so they know you are coming. Gutted I've got to miss it as I've been looking forward to the ride out. Ah well, Glentress next weekend so that should make up for it!

At 2:26pm on April 3, 2008, Crispy said…: Sorry upforit, going to have to bail on this one - need to replace some chain rings to cure a bad case of chain suck, but my LBS need to order them in first. I'm going to stick to something local or find something a bit more "all weather" so hopefully the chain suck doesn't strike again until I can get it fixed.

Let me know how the ride goes if you still go along...
