The MTB thread

Sounds great Northy, I was up there last year on the Gondola and could see the trail beneath me.

I've been up to Guisborough Woods myself, and its considered that this is going to be another venue for the Forestry Commission to develop a quality course. It already has some great singletrack but does need work to tie it all together and make a more flowing track. I still need some more clothing (desperately need shorts and a set of SPD pedals) but I'm just spending money like water elsewhere at the moment. There are some police championships locally next month and I'm tempted to enter but fear that a lot of them will be on full sussers and I'll be the one on the Rocky near the back.

That's no good Definately see if you can get referred, I reckon I owe the fact that I can ride to my physios, they were all brilliant. The sports physio was the best, because she was the most sadistic

Yeah, I reckon it should do alright, bit weighty mind... The Soul'll still be my main bike mind but I'm going to build the GT up heavy and tank down stuff with it I think, keep it for innerleithen and places like that.

Toying with the idea of getting my old 96 GT zaskar out of its box in the attic again.
Those were the days when you could downhill on a hardtail and still compete

There was a guy came in about 70th in last year's Megavalanche on a Cotic hardtail

Hi, thought I'd join in here - ride a BeOne Nirvana (bargain frame from CRC) which I built up with all the bits from my Rockhopper . Get out to Llandegla, Grizedale and sometimes Coed Y Brenin....

Just bought an 02 SV650S - had my licence exactly a week!

I am offically retired.

Flogged the MTB and parts i had. Just need to get rid of the rest of the bits left and tools.

How come?

Motorbikes have taken over!

Girth, so you now have 2 bikes? What you gonna spend the money you get from the bits on?

Rob, its been spent already, it funded my AR09 trip/tour
