[UK] Taunton Trials + Street Ride - 9th March '08

amanda.gallacher · 2008-02-25, 07:31 PM

Hey

Not been a trials ride down this way in a wee while (except Bristol last weekend lol) so I'm thinking Taunton, Somerset on Sunday 9th March.
Sound good?
Brendan ? Dan ? Marcus ? Lucas ? Mike ? Emrys ? usual people, I expect to see you out.
I know it's a fair bit further north than Exeter, but just see it as an excuse to crash at my house on the 8th (as it's half way between Exeter and Taunton), have a couple of drinks and probably end up having a bbq at 2am in the morning.

Location : Taunton. Meet at Taunton Bus Station
Date : 9th March '08
Time : 12.30 'til it dies off

Don't forget your uni, and a couple of spare inner tubes (for Brendan) and a spare post or two.

Taunton is pretty nice for riding and on a Sunday will be nice and quiet. I know some pretty good spots. Down by the pool there are lots of various sized walls and some nice gaps and generally a lot of stuff I can't do but sure you guys can. Some nice stair sets too marcus! Other spots include high street, SCAT college, RHC college, M+S, vivory park and down by the river so there is plenty to do and we can easily spend a good few hours doing some good riding.

Who's in?
1. Amanda

I will see, sounds good but I dont know if I can make it or aford it (just bought another kite last night which has more or less emptied by piggy bank)
Also I have alot of work and a realy bad ankle. I will see how much the tickets will cost me but unless there realy cheap I think its unlikely I will be able to make this one.

sp4rky-m4rky · 2008-02-25, 08:57 PM

Missed the edit. Looks like it would cost me more money than I have so I wont be able to make it. Have a good ride, take a camera. Hopefuly I will be able to make it if you ride there again.

amanda.gallacher · 2008-02-26, 07:13 PM

That's a shame Marcus. Next time I'll try make it with a bit more notice. I'll have a camera, hoping to put a wee viddy together of the day.

delcypher · 2008-02-29, 05:54 PM

No more takers??

brendan · 2008-03-01, 06:11 PM

you'd think more people would want to get drunk then go riding, well I dont mind only a few of us tbh, it's always a laugh!

Btw amanda just popped a tube today when i was out with dan

jammy-sammy · 2008-03-01, 06:45 PM

hai will see if i can make it for the day an bring some riders from calstock is there a bus from plymouth

amanda.gallacher · 2008-03-02, 09:43 AM

Bus from Plymouth: You need to get a bus first from Plymouth to Exeter. Then from Exeter, you would need to catch the 92 service bus from Exeter to Taunton.

Train from Plymouth: I don't know any service numbers, but it's only a few stops and is probably a lot easier.

ps. Brendan... lol

jammy-sammy · 2008-03-02, 09:50 AM

im off to unicycle club now so ill see whos up for it.

swarbrim · 2008-03-07, 01:43 PM

Bugger, it looks like I'm going to have to flake out... This sucks, I will give Amanda a shout if I can still go on the ride on Sunday, but can't make any promises...

Sorry guys! I'll make it up to you.

delcypher · 2008-03-09, 08:50 PM

Good fun today guys, nice and laid back. I wish I hadn't gotten a stupid pinch puncture though.

If Amanda makes a video out of the footage, look out for one of my top quality bails

brendan · 2008-03-10, 08:25 AM
