I think the plan is a BBQ & some riding - more info to follow.

My Orange Patriot STOLEN
On the way home from today's epic, I popped in to see a couple of mates.
When I came out 20 or so mins later, my bike was gone, along with the bungees.
I will put a full spec list up later.
Was stolen from the Newburn area of Newcastle, any help would be appreciated.

There are also various other pics of me riding it on here.
Cheers

A/J said… - inners is amazing!!! Its a tough old ride up to the top but the descents are the best ever and you can ever add in make or break a really good bit of freeride stuff in half way down. Its my favourite route - even though its where the F@%k*ng rock that broke two of my ribs is lol. its even better than tress! where do you guys stay then?? Weve booked a static van in inners - oct's too cold for me to camp being a big girly wuss!!
