Now for the really boring bit. Muddy@rse is still run free of charge and invitation to join us on a ride is on the understanding that a cycling helmet must be worn at all times and taking part is entirely at your own risk.  Please read the Muddy@rse disclaimer in our forum.  You must be over 18 yrs old (unless otherwise agreed by me). Happy with that? Then we can’t wait to ride with you.  Unsure about anything then please email me to discuss before turning up for a ride.  Thanks, Lisa

Hi

I’d love to join you all on a ride sometime. do I have to be super fit though?Please let me know of any forthcoming rides and depending on the fitness required I’ll join you.

Thanks

Liz

Hi. Our rides are not what you would call fast paced and no one gets left behind :) We usually have a breather every now and then to regroup as inevitably we do spread out a bit. Our last ride had some big hills (just under 500m of climbing) and took 4hrs (including an unhurried stop to refuel with cake & tea) to cover 20km, click here to see the route. The next ride is meant to be much less hilly, albeit with some small logs to hop over every now and then!

I end up riding too often on my own round Eastbourne. I think it must be doing odd things to me as I’m finding myself strangely attracted to singlespeeds! Please keep me posted as to club rides and/or E/B regular local meets, definitely could do with some company. Well done for getting organised with a regular club, its just what we need in the area.

Bumped inot one of your members, Nick, on the S Downs last night
I’m new to the area just moved here from Yorks dales, thro work, please add me to your mailing list.
ps does anyone else use Bikely.com

6 06 2007
David French

Hey Miles.

I’ve been on to the Bikely website once, but I didn’t really get much of a look at it. IIRC it’ll be amalgamated with Cycling Weekly (or plus, whatever), What MTB and MBUK soon anyway!

7 06 2007
Miles

I’ve used it to good effect, finding routes like the Lazy Sunday, and Evil rides (from Singletrack mag) I will out up some more of teh ones I’ve done since I’ve been down here (all 3 days of it !!) when I can get the “tinternet” working at my digs. Its one of those paces that’s onl yas good as the folks who upload tracks. You can use it in conjunction with GPSBabel for either convert it to GPS data or Gogle earth or pretty much anyting.
Currently killin myself right now comuting on MTB from Ringmer to Burgess Hill, via the SDs, Black Cap, Ditchling beacon, J&Js etc 2300ft of climbing by the time I’m back home, but awesome views and PEACE, pure bliss.
Looking for a good bike shop as I wantto change my aging FSR, who does Specialised round here ? M

7 06 2007
mike

Hi Miles

Rayments and Evans both in Brighton do Spesh…..but to be blunt they are both utterly crap shops, all they are interested in is getting as much cash off you as possible.

Check out the discounts section of this blog for good shops who will do you a deal. If you go to Freedom Bikes in Brighton tell them you ride with me, they are great guys and will help you as much as they can.

Cheers

8 06 2007
Ollie

Tristore in Eastbourne do specialized, though it may be worth checking how much MTB stuff they do before making a trip over there. Discount details and link/address can be found under the discount tab. Never been there myself but the club founder Lisa must be one of their best customers :)

11 06 2007
Miles

Cheers Mike / Ollie
Wish I’d seen your posts before Sat, went to both Evans & Raymds, Evans had NO Spez in to view !!!!!!!!!!
Was considering an Epic, but Ray’s suggested a Stumpie, anyone got any views guidance on what works well round here, I do go to Chamonix once a year so an all rounder would be good, but don’t want too much of a compromise for my daily comute.
Do you have a post code for Freedom Cycles as I’m navigating by GPS righ tnow until I’ve sussed out where the hell I am. Oh and is there a better climb back out of Brighton )for Lewes) than the long haul up past the race course, I seem to keep finding? Cheers M

Hi,

Please add me to the list. And if I can (A) Find my bike. (B) Get myself fit to ride. and (C) Find somewhere to keep it in Eastbourne (Not the 2nd floor flat!) and (D) Get down to Evo for a full service and Ahem! front wheel straightening. Oh and a look at the “fork”

Other than that should be along.

Hi, Bumped into a fellow rider on the SDW yesterday and he mentioned this club… sounds kinda interesting as I’ve just moved to the area (from oop north) and have spent last few months seeking out trails/adapting riding style etc. etc… would be good to join up one time for a ride maybe…?

Cheers

Hi Pete,

Welcome it was me you bumped into on the SDW. Hope you had a good ride, I was a bit worried you would run out of light if you carried on all the way to Eastbourne!

Anyway best of luck with the baby.

Bob Armour

I’m looking for a ‘club’ so that I can join in on rides.
I used to commute to work every day but haven’t done this for about 7 years so am well out of practice.
My current riding is more or less restricted to bridleways and limited to those occasions that I can rustle us some buddies.
I have a preference for gentler rides for now – until I change from my non-suspension bike – although 20 to 25 miles is a reasonable distance.
If you have any forthcoming rides that fit that description, I’d be interested in joining in.
Let me know.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi there

Been a Brighton MTB’er for the last 10 years since studying at Sussex Uni. My riding mates have pretty much all hung up their gloves now due to other commitments and moving to the city, so my 3-4 rides per week are generally now done on my lonesome.

It would be great to hook up with you guys soon. Please add me to your mailing list and i’ll hopefully join you for a ride soon,
