Freddybeer Edinburgh (with optional biking)

[Will]

So, the plans are almost in place, TdC has finally almost booked his holiday, and I thought it was time to firm up the plans.

So, Freddysbeer will be held at, depending on the weather, either the Pear Tree (huge beer garden), or Native State (indoors, good food, two minutes from the Pear Tree), on Saturday the 6th of May. I'm aware that anyone travelling up from Englandshire may have a different opinion of what is good weather, but my definition is "not actually raining". I was thinking of an 8pm kickoff, but I am open to negotation.

Freddybike will be taking place the next day, dependant on how dead I'm feeling. I think a trip to Glentress (near Peebles) would be the best idea. I'll firm up the time and route once I get an idea of numbers, and how good the attendees are at this offroad biking lark. We may have the optional "See if Wilier can lap us" challenge.

I'll be there, and probably around for the Bikeh thing afterwards, but I'm piss poor on a bike. Would actually be nice to see someone do it correctly

Native state is a good'un, as is Pear Tree. Plenty of foodage places nearby too!

[Will]

Beginners are welcome on the bike ride too.

It was in the top post...its not like you had to scroll up far.

Saturday 6th May, 8pm, in the Pear Tree pub unless its raining, when we will be in Native State instead.

Sunday 7th of May, mountain bike ride at Glentress, time to be arranged once I know how hungover I am and how many people will be coming.

Strange I actually did read the initial post lol

[Moo]

im alergic to leaving the south

[Will]

I'll do maps or directions later for the people who don't know Edinburgh. Or PM me and I'll give you my mobile number.

Despite his LAZE, TdC is actually promising to come along. I'm sure he will admit that eventually.

Hey Will I've got the Marzocchi's on my bike now, so if you want the RockShox let me know as any future bike purchase will be a super-sub-light-speed road bike, mountain biking is secondary to speed IMO

They are beautiful you know, so soft and supple.....

[Will]

I would really like them, but apparently my Inbred would die if I put them on and landed badly, and they are too short for the big bike. I've got 150mm of goodness on that.

Are you coming up for beer or cycling? I promise not to talk too much left-wing nonsense.

[Tom]

Nah it looks like I'm doing some shooting that weekend for Audi, so won't be able to come.

[Doomy]

Arse, would be cool to come but edinborough+bike is a bit of nuisance without drivers license.

[Will]

I normally travel by train with my bike, and it isn't really a hassle.

You could just come to the pub instead.

He's got a point, you should all travel this way to London Will
