Is this correct? 16may or 16 april? This friday is 16th april but not a public or anything... the 16th may is a Sunday which would be good... I hope to have the 6.6 here by then and be fit enough to do the trip. I need to loose a lot of weight i'm at 83kg to I guess i need to loose something like 15kg before i'm anywhere near fit. Well that's too much weight loss to do in a month but at least i hope my butt can handle a long time on the saddle. Now where did I put that ederma!

There is also another trail that allows you to go from Sannat around the sannap (no I didn't spell it wrong) cliffs and then down to Xlendi and the tower. I will check out how to get there tonight cause it's been a while since I did this trail. I look forward to meeting you all and once again thanks for all of the tips and help regarding bike selection... Namely Ken, Harold and Nev :) .

Ooops! I meant APRIL, but hey we can always do another one in May.

# Eman Scicluna 2010-04-13 11:26

anyone in the south of malta willing to give a lift to cirkewwa for 2 people? (cospicua zabbar fgura area)

# RB 2010-04-15 14:32

Hi Eman, lift available but you need to email rb"at"onvol.net to sort out details.

Be aware that we will be back in Malta at around 5-6pm

Have no idea how to email you off this site.

So are you guys coming over this friday? or are the dates wrong? This friday isin't a public, are you lot going to take leave from work? Let me know so I'll come and break my butt on my hard tail.

# Ryan 2010-04-14 10:36

Hey, I'm the one that needs a lift with eman. Yes we will come next friday, I don't have any school atm. Is there anybody with a lift pls

# Carmelo Portelli 2010-04-14 10:59

Hey buddy,

Sorry but I'm from Gozo so can't help you out with a lift. I hope you guys have a good time! My 6 point 6 should be here on Saturday along with the rest of the gear I ordered so I will come up to Malta with it to ride with you guys over the next few weeks or so. Any chance of a lift from the ferry

Hi Carmelo,
Alan would be your best bet but he never comes on a Sunday. I would be next in line cos I'm from Gharghur but to go up to Cirkewwa and back would mean that I have to wake up at five

:zzz . (It takes me about one hour to put on my makeup). We'll try to fix something up. Keep in touch.

# Carmelo Portelli 2010-04-14 12:20

Hey Dave,

At Ghargur you are too far from Chirkewwa to bother about it, don't be silly. I'll come up with my wifes car and put the bike on the rack. It's not an issue. :) when you guys come to Gozo I just hope I can do a 40km trip on a bike as heavy as the 6.6 i'm used to a light XC bike on Rolfs :)

# Tendon 2010-04-15 18:52

This comes a bit unplanned for me... but I'll try to meet up with you at Mgarr.

# Carmelo Portelli 2010-04-15 18:58

Hey Tendon,

Heard you are from Xewkija too. Any time you want to hook up for a ride let me know. ;)

# Tendon 2010-04-15 19:09

Carmelo, that's right! Then we're ready to make a Gozo section.

# Carmelo Portelli 2010-04-15 19:18

Yeah there is another guy here that is MTB mad and we train together. I'm getting heavy into freeride and I can't wait to snap my SC frame :) I think I have a stress fracture in it so need to check it out :) Iron Horse 6 point 6 on the way so it should be ok :) lets try to move the Gozitans on this

# DS 2010-04-15 19:30

Gozitanos,
No need to come down near ferry, if you want we can meet near the roundabout just up the hill from Mgarr.
We meet at Cirkewwa at 7:00 and leave on the next ship.

# Tendon 2010-04-15 19:38

So if I understand the timing correctly, you will be at the roundabout at 8:00 approximately? Right?

# DS 2010-04-15 19:41

More or less ,yes.
If you want you can pm your mobile so I can call you if anything goes astray.

# Tendon 2010-04-15 19:48

I am not sure about how PMs work here. It seems I can only PM users who are onine... I see a surefaxemtb user online right now, but your posts are by DavidS. Apparently the two have the same picture... Are you the same?
