Dont know about you guys but the usual meeting doesnt really appeal this week tbh . I cant think of a great deal to talk about and seeing as the weather is nice , who fancies a ride out instead ?
Im open to suggestions where but maybe for ease of parking etc meet at my yard in North Country for 7 ish ?
This will be a chilled out ride suitable for all bikes and abilities and I wouldnt rule out a "refreshment " stop somewhere
sounds like a plan. no point sitting around discussing nothing
the club seems to have gone proper quiet recently. i've only been a member a year or so, so maybe it's a summer thing? i personally was hoping with the long evenings and fine weather that more stuff would be going on!
aside from horse events, which are regular, and the odd ride here or there, what else can we do as a club?? i suggested bbq's and the like but no-one really showed any interest.
i guess rides are the main interest, and of course why ctrf exists, but where are the rides?? i personally join as many as i can, but it's usually a local lanes deal with the same couple of faces.
as a club we have around 9 or 10 new members in the last few months on this forum, and a fair bit of interest on the facebook page as well. to my knowledge none of these new people have been out on a ride with any of us yet (please let me know if i'm wrong). i really think we need to organise something for these potential new trf members, if nothing else, just to say hello and welcome them to ctrf!
i would happily do this myself, but as a relative newcomer myself, i don't think i have the knowledge, experience or skill to hold court over a group of newcomers. also i don't really feel it fair to burden it all on one person. so does anyone have any suggestions?
the sun is shining , the weather is beautiful. i know a lot of you prefer mud and slippery stuff, but surely we can ride our bikes more than i feel i have these last couple of months...
No one else fancy a ride on thurs then ?
Its getting pretty sad on here to be honest . Ive been on holiday and busy with work / racing etc so havent done many rides recently but there doesnt seem to be any action at all .
If you are a new member lurking and wants a certain type of rideout etc please post up on here . Most needs can be met .
Im in talks with Flash and was maybe thinking of an August trip up to Glos Trf if anyone fancies it .
Hi Guys. I am lurking on here to see what the deal is. I cant ride currently as i have just had a little op. They guys i ride with are awating some gear from the us to make the bikes run correctly as we cant find anyone local to fix them.
I did post up a hello post and tbh didnt even get a hello until i contacted you guys on facebook.
I dont mind being a paid up member if the people in the club are genuine, all too often in a club it can be very clicky.
I dont mean to upset or offwnd anyone but just giving my 2 pence from someone intrested in joining.
All the best Robin
I am sorry for our lack of reply . We aren't a clicky club but I can speak for myself as the chairman that I am bloody busy with work and home life at the moment . I expect this goes for many members on here too . I have posted up loads of rides aimed at new members etc and had zero response. Kinda made me not want to bother to be honest .
Summer time is always quiet on here but things should pick up again soon .
Hopefully a few more members will post up rides rather than the same couple all the time .
Cheers for the feed back and I hope to meet you soon .
When I make a come back I'll lead a ride. It will be a beginners ride taking in the best delights of East Cornwall. Pink panther, muchlarnick,rosenun etc. Start with the tough ones and everything else will seem easy . "If you're not sweating, you're not trying hard enough"
Hi Phil, was planning to come to pub to re-introduce myself tonight, I think your Cambourne way,so could make an open ride out. Have tried to get a midweek day ride out going, with some success, Gideon came out a few weeks ago. Let me know what's happening , if anything, and l will come. Ta Ian
Robin nothing clicky about CTRF made me welcome right from the start. im from Glos & let my trf membership slip the past couple of years due to this crazy delapidated house. still ride with these guys when i can & always have a laugh & as my missus says im not a people person Whatever that means
Get your wheels sorted & get out there & keep those trails open
& for those that remember it
I FOUND THE PIPE TO REPAIR THE WR !!! nearly 3 years of searching
Im fine for 14th But struggling for a wing man at the mo. Strange folk up here dont like ridding in the summer. Now i dont mind at all it gets me out the house.
The Guru of lanes has put slicks on his bike & track daying it for the summer So your going to have to put up with my old foggy memory.
There maybe some trials & a lot of error
There is a travel lodge thing 5 mins from my house & first trail 5 from there
, the weather is beautiful. i know a lot of you prefer mud and slippery stuff, but surely we can ride our bikes more than i feel i have these last couple of months...
Whatever that means
