The Monday Papers....

(....because Sundays are for riding)


ATBA International Series Dates (and new pricing structure)


http://www.atbauk.org/internationalseries.html
...contains information about each of this years four competitions, namely Hales Superbole, The Edge, Out To Grass and Ironsides Court Farm.

Interestingly, there's been a big old shake-up to the entry fees with the price per competition per discipline being £10/£20 for members/non members accordingly and if you haven't competed before, then your first comp is free.

Lets hope for better weather next year and a good turn out.

A rumour doing the rounds is the possibility of a downhill comp sometime early next year at a presently undisclosed location.  Watch this space, and of course the ATBA space for details.


The Return to the Chase - Maps and Videos coming soon

It was early morning and it was cold, and the effects of maybe a couple too many beers the night before were taking effect, but Mark, Clayton, Phill and myself managed to arrive at the right location at the right time for a further expedition into the wonders that Cannock Chase had to hold.

No harm to state once again how much there is to do here with tracks to be found round every corner, and yet on this, my third visit to the chase, how much there is left to discover.

We bumped into an interesting chap with several piercing and 4 large dogs with weird eyes who told us about 'Telegraph Hill', the highest point of the Chase.  Perhaps worth a look at for next time....

Anyway, big cheers to those that turned up; was a cracking session!  Phill took some footage on his Flip video so hopefully that'll turn up soon.  I'm also using a combination of google maps and bing maps to work out where we've covered this time round so a separate combined post will hopefully emerge soon.

...is worth a viewing.  With this and Inshredible doing the rounds right now, there's some great boarding action for your viewing pleasure for those night off.

I'm just wondering but is that oil floating in your coffee. If it is, is that new pelican coffee BP are just releasing

Also for all those wanting a first look at the downhill track head to rem central http://www.remolition.com/features/field-reports/276-uk-downhill-2011-first-look.html

I think (hope) that it's coffee that hasn't mixed in properly, though sometimes a good lubrication is never a bad thing!
