27.05.2008 18:45 to 21:00
*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Sports
Meeting Point: Triemli Tram Stop

Who's coming Mountainbiking on Tuesday. Meet as usual at 18:45 at Triemli. The trail should be a bit drier this week. (There's fate well and truly tested!).

If your interested in coming sign up. Remember to bring your helmet.

Small Print: We will be riding on singletrails, so minimum requirements are a reasonable mountain bike with knobbly tires.

Anyone participating in the EF rides are doing so at their own risk.

RSVP'd Yes: 4 (3 members and 1 guests)
  • Nick Blake - Should be there (unless it rains!)
  • Radar + 1 guest - I'll be there
  • iceberg - Yes (if it doesn't rain)
RSVP'd No: 4
  • Eire - Bike is going to hospital.
  • Woodsie - Prior commitments. Should be back next week.
  • Yokine - Will be at "Explosions in the Sky", rather than doing "Excursions in the Forest" :-)
  • roastbeef - I'm going to the EF Curry Night so wont be there this week. As there are so many no's for various reasons does anybody fancy doing this run with me later in the week, I'm currently free Wed/Thur/Fri?
RSVP sign-ups for this event are now closed.

I won't be there.

Need to get some warranty work done on my bike. Hoping to keep my down time to a minimum and be back on the trails ASAP.

At this stage enough people know the trail to just meet up as usual and go anyway. Sorry I can't make it and enjoy the ride whoever goes.

You broke your bike already Eire?

Well, that'll teach a hack like you to buy a fragile, lightweight bike like that.

The bike is fine. Its the AVID brakes I am not so gone on! I rekon its a warranty case so should just get a new set of back brakes. Unfortunately I don't really want to do Uetliberg without back brakes so I'll give it a miss until I have the replacements.

Guess I'm spending this week dressed in Lycra and riding my road bike!

I am now in the process of burning my eyes out with a hot poker so that there is no risk of me seeing that!

I don't know about that. We might get lost without you and end up in Sihl city instead.

I could loan you my brakes. LOL What ever it takes to keep a man from wearing lycra.

If you think that Eire is going to look like that in lycra, you really need to get your eyes checked mat.
