likewise dude, by the time you didnt look busy you were all snuggled round the fire and i was too battered to talk... somehow managed to ride to the hotel in the dark...

Yes you can ride it any time you like, but if it's not a race or official practice session you have to park up on the roadside.

I wouldnt recomend you bother between October and April, it's usually under water.

lol, fair enough. You can never tell how many people are going to be there. If it's a nice day on a weekend there can be loads of familys and kids there, but sometimes you turn up and have the place to yourself. I would recomend the morning before the gobby kids have got out of bed.

nah Mr Chops, not local, but Cov's not exactly a long way away.

just thinking i might get some track practice in, never ridden a proper track before so would like to give it a bash, have a dream about clearing a set. won't happen, but i can dream.

thecrooch · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2009, 10:13 AM »

its only 50 mins away from me as well - let us know when you are planning and we can have a mini MK..........

In case anyone was thinking of going to gates tonight, it's off.... http://www.bmxtalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23743

It's been chucking it down round here more or less non-stop since Sunday morning.

Alex, Crooch, JT et al. let me know when your thinking of coming for a spin round and I'll try and make it too.

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #14 on:** July 21, 2009, 03:33 PM »

Dex Dexter · « **Reply #15 on:** July 21, 2009, 03:55 PM »

Weeknights would be good for me - love a role round MK. LMK.

Gutted about gates tonight Fox

Gym it is then.

JT71 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:03 PM »

probably make it a sunday afternoon, weather permitting, looks like it could be a bit of fun.

better give the DK the once over and see if it's fit for racing.

i know one thing, it's heavy as fook, not as heavy as Alex's actual heavy as fook, but close.

JT71 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:08 PM »

how's everyone fixed for Sunday the 2nd August? Lunchtime kick off, say 12?

if the majority of interest in this thread can make that date then i'll put a post in the members events and gatherings section.

g_lamb · « **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:23 PM »

And me!

Cert wasn't going to embarrass mesel' at the weekend.

Haven't ridden BMX in 25+ years and didn't race bitd neway so just fancy a spin around the track but not as billy no mates
