Map of Joy: Update II!

The Map of Joy is now sporting souvenirs from Dalby, including the rather useful map and a delightful leather keyring from the Dalby Forest Visitor’s Centre.  Nothing but the best for my board!

SMELL THE JOY!

Full-suspension quest update! On the way back from Mr Toast’s parent’s, we took a detour via the Specialized Concept Store in Birmingham.  We’d tried a couple of local Specialized dealers, but they’d either wanted a non-refundable 10% deposit to order one in (a bit risky for a bike I’d never even sat on!), or promised to get back to me, but never did. :(

But never fear!  The staff at the concept store were awesome - after giving them a refundable deposit, they’ve ordered in a small Stumpjumper Elite, and are going to put me through their ‘BG Fit’ test…procedure…thing. I’ve got a good feeling about this one, even planning on naming the bike ‘Captain Stumpy’.  Or perhaps ‘Professor Von Stumperson’.

Map of Joy: UPDATE!

The first addition to the Map of Joy. Admittedly, it’s from our regular haunt of Cannock Chase, but it’s rather special.  Yes, my Chase Trails membership pack arrived in the post today, complete with signage coasters.  The handy screw holes meant that they were ideal for pinning up, so the two FtD-specific coasters went up!

Woot!

BEHOLD!

 The Map of Joy 2009!

This year I decided that we should make a list of all the trail centres we want to visit this year, and put them on a map.  Because maps with pins in are awesome.

The right hand side is reserved for souvenoirs.  I’ve also left some space for more places to be added.  Whoop!
