Pro Flex meet??
« on: November 03, 2006, 10:23:15 pm »
I have been chating to members on the Retrobike forum, and these guys/gals have been trying to organise an Autumn meet. In fact I believe it was due to take place today.

This got me thinking, why not have a meet with fellow members so that we can show off the machines?? I do know that we are not all in the same country (before any wise cracks), thought it would good to put faces to names.

Getting cold now I know, but we don't mind that do we!!!! Well maybe a little bit, extra socks needed.

What do you think?

There's the Real Ale Wobble (non-competitive mountain biking event with kegs of beer en route) of course on 18th /19th Nov in Llanwrtyd Wells. I'll be there with a couple of mates. Been going for 10 years.

I've already met up with and gone out riding with
Sprucey,Nigel (Proflexuk),and Dominic.

I was also priveleged enough to meet Will (Willem) when he came over from the states with his family,

all great experiances and I recommend to anyone
from this site to meet up if they can, its a great little
community we have here.

That would be good. I certainly don't mind a bit of travelling.

I'd definately be up for it...  I'm on the South coast though, so as long as it wasn't toooo far away from me... which it probably would be...! :)

Hey Perfect.  Dont' have to fly anywhere.

Seriously, if you any of you get to vacation in Hawaii, specifically Oahu, I'll be glad to show you the trails.  I've taken a few vacationing mtbrs from the MTBR.COM forum to undocumented trails.  

We're suppose to be getting a Super Ferry (car carrying type) here in a few years so my buddies and I are anticipating ROAD TRIPs to the other islands.

Kiwi, how many spiders do you have useing the information off this site.

Orange I live in West Hill. about 7 miles from Topsham.
Over woodbury common my haunt.

Kiwi the govenment says that you should be able to get 9 people per room, so how many rooms did you say you have at your place.
