TROG MTB Forum

Right, we have until next Thursday 18/3/10 to devise a route for the forthcoming MSG race.

Ben and myself are planning on having a bimble about Tunstall Thursday night from 7:30pm to get a little bit of a plan together. If a couple of the race whippets fancy tagging along to join in the planning feel free and obviously the same goes for the remainder of the trailbuilding com'

This is a rough ride to give us something to work with in regards to the loop as we need to sort it pronto.

Good work thanks for getting this one going

I may well also be about Saturday afternoon and /or early Sunday for the aforementioned

I'd be up for that.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make a ride this thursday but I'm about to help at the weekend, I had a ride round on Sunday to start to put some ideas together and it's not going to be easy this time as I'm not sure how much of the last race I dare use yet as it may not have recovered in time. Why do we have to have something by the 18th? as that's an awfully tight time scale and I suspect anything you have by then will have changed a lot by race day.

Fair comments Mark

The deadline is due to the route submission to the FC

If you have a route kind of planned already as such, im more than happy to go with what you already have, I wasnt sure whether you were going to be able to do this race route or not.

And besides you know what your doing, and I well....don't

I will try and get there tomorrow evening depending on how I feel. I've got a bit of a cold coming on so this may help clear it. I will bring my GPS if that will help.

Great call John, hope you can make it with that GPS

I'm in. See you there at 7.30.

Scott.

Awesome.

See you all tonight at 730, and lets gets lost

Our group is riding out from Butley pub at 18:45, think we are riding the CTC rough stuff route ( if we can remember it)

Will look out for you men when we get over to Tunstal,

Keep your eyes peeled, we shall be lurking.......

Found a fantastic new section this afternoon with the help of my stepdaughter I must confess.......the biggest bumps you'll see in the forest that flow a treat, and I can so remember bouncing through them on the motorised bike in the late 90's (they are that big).......it'll be a really great addition to the MSG course and the future TROG loop 2...... i think its mega......looking forward to sharing my findings.....

The man's on fire! If it is anything like the rest of the MSG loop I rode on Thursday, I can't wait! The MSG course is an absolute beauty (but I fear that there wasn't as much in the way of fireroad for overtaking opportunities)

I reckon once its had a strim, and its been fully raked it should be ok........
