Having been a member of NEFA fromthe beginning and gone through all the fights in Chopwell.I can only sympathise with your plight.You could build a Whistler style bike park and there would still be a small faction of riders who would want somethin...

not a problem mate, although a bit damp, it was good fun.

crashtest dummy replied to rob's discussion 'beginner trails'June 21

Keep an eye on the forum cos there are usualy some of the lads from NEFA who are based in Chopwell who do mid week night rides from the carpark.Meet about 6ish and stay as long as you want.Easiest way to find out where the trails are and the rides...

Ride to work scheme.

Hi,can anybody shed some light on the "Ride to work scheme"?
Don't realy know that much about it,but it looks like this could be the only way i'm gonna get a new ride this year.Lack of funds/recession etc.

Also,can anyone comment on the new Boardman full suss?At £800 it looks like a potential ride being as i'm gonna stick to trail riding.Gotta be sensible with the back,as i'm a family man these days.
Thanks in advance.
Boney.

At 4:52pm on 11 November 2008, warwick hunt said…: yeah that track looks like lots of fun, Ae forest is a real hoot but it's one of them routes where you need something light on the way out and something a bit more meaty on the way back, that said if i go i'll just be playing on the shredder and the DH cos i'd be too knackered to have any fun after the loop.

At 12:10am on 28 October 2008, earthworm jim said…: lee only has one bike. the hardtail was sold ages ago. if he goes on the night ride you'll be screwed. but sure we'll find you something

At 9:04pm on 27 October 2008, warwick hunt said…: Boney i've got a set of V8's that i don't use, you could borrow them. Not in perfect nick but they've got loads of grip still, just the bearings have a very small amount of play in 1 of them but you can't tell when your riding, i can bring them on thurday too if you want,
