forteh Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Planning on heading up to the chase again on Sunday, giving a bit more warning so hopefully we can get some people together! Hoping to start and finish at marquis drive, free parking and you can easily access both trails. Google maps link:- Marquis's Drive, Cannock, Staffordshire WS12 4PP http://goo.gl/maps/l2qye Planning on getting there for 10 and probably doing a full lap of dog and monkey but happy to short cut if people are knackered Edited March 17, 2014 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 FYI, there's a Nukeproof and Lapierre demo day at Cannock tomorrow. Lots of nice 2014 bikes to try out if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 ahh wish i had seen this, mates were going aswell, could have had a free lift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Boumsong got broken! Did ten miles and had to cut it short as his legs were shouting too much, riding xc on an orange patriot with marz888s is manly game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Good going that, I'm definatly game for next time. Was it busy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Was a pretty sedentary ride, I don't think I could have ridden the Orange without killing myself either. Will organise another ride at some point but give a bit more warning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boumsong Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Ed well spanked me on that one. I'm going through pinkbike right now finding bits get the bike over to a more XC friendly spec. Next time! I'll drop a few kgs and set it up a little better then I should be able to hammer around a little faster. Good ride for me though..albeit slow and painful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Noticed last night it's supposed to hammer it down Sunday, and a few sections of chase are closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Well that's pretty annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Still open thou, I'm still up for it unless it's torrential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Earlier forecasts said some showers, the met office is calling light showers later in the afternoon - the trails dry out super quick so appart from a couple of puddles it will be fine The closed sections aren't really an issue, it's never hugely long sections although twist and shout (from birches valley to the stegasaurus) is a lovely bit of trail so a bit of a bummer but not the end of the world! edit: aye if it's torrential it's not so much fun but rain isn't really an issue as long as you prepare and have towels/dry clothes to change into Edited March 19, 2014 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
