Snot, Grot, Rock and Fire

Well, it's definately that time of year... you know, the time when absolutley everyone at work gets a stinking cold and passes it on to you, bastards, and you guessed it... it happened to me last week.

Sooooo, not much to report really....

Nick is still dead it seems, well that is what happens when you go and delete your Facebook account apparently. I went to see the new Bond film and was thoroughly entertained, oh and I went to see Airbourne at the Octagon who thoroughly rocked, you can check them out here if you like AC/DC you'll bloody love them! Also, Saturday was to be the day of round two of the World Pumptrack Enduro but we didn't get our arses in gear due to illness, inclement weather and a general lack of motivation and it didn't really happen. But, however, we had a shit load of wood to burn so we trucked back to Phil's with a few peeps and set about it. I started the fire at 5 and we kept it burnin till about 9 with the amount of wood we had, chopping wood and burning stuff rules!

4 Rides a Wedding and a Funeral

Yep, it's been a busy time!

Firstly I must break the news of the sad passing of young Nicholas Emerson the co-writer of this fantastic blog. He deleted his Facebook account early last week marking the end of his existence in the realms of social acceptance and leaving several bikes, two rabbits and a bereaved girlfriend in his wake.

You will be missed...

Anyway, on to some other stuff that may or may not be more interesting. It's been a hectic couple of weeks and I apologise for my lack of bloggage and general guff spouting. I'll work backwards on this in a bit of a bulletin type of form thing.


Halloween


Bigbird came to visit yesterday for Halloween and before he flies south for the winter. Always a pleasure and much ale, pizza were eaten, makeup was worn and fry ups were eaten the night ended with serveral people spending a good half an hour decorating the frost on my car with willys, thankfully it rained a lot this morning and saved me having to wash it!



Oooooooo Scary!



Wedding


Matt's got married! Last weekend we all trucked it off down to Guildford for the do. Matt looked beautiful, can't believe that he actually does scrub up! Katie was looking handsome and for all you girlies the dress was amazing, photo below!




Needless to say that at the reception the dancefloor was well and truly torn up with everybody cutting some rug but notably the obligatory dance-0ff. A fantastic day was had by all.


Scotland

Finally the Scottish roadtrip was a couple of weeks ago now, we spent four days tearing round the countryside in cars and on bikes. We hit Innerleithen, Glentress, Kiroughtree and Drumlanrig, all great in their own way but the real standout was Kiroughtree. You simply have to go there it's some of the best flowing singletrack I've ridden in a long time and includes an awesome McMoab slab rock section halfway round that has to be seen to be believed!
