In the spirit of inclusion it would be good family fun to build up a nice bonfire and sacrifice all bikes that aren't hardtails with push-on grips to the demon god Azeroth.

I'll bring marshmallows and long sticks.

Okay. I may have to get some push on grips just for the event. I don't want to let the team down. ;-)

Oh damn me too. Presently only own a full suspension with lock-ons. Azeroth must be appeased.

I might even bring my hardtail!

You have to bring it! I can store a bike in my garage if you are worried about security while riding.

Ok you convinced me Vik!  Thanks for the offer but I will have my van for bike security.

Right on. Now I just have to avoid getting injured and we'll get that hardtail shred in the books! :-)

If Im on the Island for summer leave in that window Ill definitely swing up from Mill Bay.  It would be a hoot to meet and ride with you lot 🤙

I better get my ass in gear if I don't want to get crushed on this ride ha ha, I haven't ridden since November!

Good idea. The fitter you are the more fun you are going to have.  I'm riding as much as possible so I have a chance of keeping up with Vik.

We'll be going a social pace so no need to crush out any PRs, but as Skooks says you'll have more fun if climbing doesn't feel like a death march. My personal goal this year isn't to be super fast...it's to not miss any riding events due to injury. **fingers crossed**

Just checking who is planning on being in Cumberland a couple weekends from now?

I'm still in :)

Bringing the family, one of my buddies from the island might meet us there as well.  We'll be in on the 9th and we leave on the 12th.

I won't be camping but I'd like to join one or two rides and some post-ride beers & food.

Anything planned for the Friday?

I'll be there. Arriving Friday morning likely with a buddy.  He doesn't have a hardtail sadly.

Not at this point. I've got the bandwidth to lead a ride Sat & Sun mornings. If you are keen Niels a Friday ride would be nice for those that want to get more riding in.

I'd be happy to take anyone on a Friday (afternoon?) ride.

I assume Vik will lead rides from the campground on to the Cumby trails and for a Friday warm up ride that probably makes most sense as well. But if at any point during the weekend anyone feels like they haven't ridden enough and is keen to get a Forbidden Plateau sampler, that is also an option (pedal or shuttle) that I'd be happy to lead.
