Did you like all the new sections that were open on the Moneky? I think its 'pot of gold' that I like the most.
Thoughts on the bike? Worth the serious asking price?

Some of the climbs on the monkey are pointless no reward at the end loved the over the rainbow decent along with deer stalker favourite had to be the lower cliff decent. Thoughts on the bike were bloody loved it, it just soaked everything up handled really well struggled on some of the tight switch backs but then I wasn't used to riding it. As fortthe price the one I had was 3250 with dropper and ppaintits 2950 without but if anyone is after one I can sort a possible deal out same goes for any orange model whether it is a full bike or just a frame set

Thanks for that mate. I expected cheap components because they are selling at £199, was just unsure whether it would last me 12 months whilst I figure out if cycling is for me.

Near the top of glentress today. Climbed about 4000ft in the 20 miles we rode. Did some of the secrets which were approaching my limits on a bike tbh.

Start cycling the West Highland Way on Wednesday. Never done a long ride before, let alone something of this magnitude.
Not done anywhere near enough training.
This is going to be a bad week, I can feel it in my waters.

I may be moving house soon which may involve a 12 mile commute. Convincing myself that I will need a different bike for that distance, thinking about a cyclocross bike for a Thames path commute. Will have to fire up our cycle scheme again

Got another ride in on the Soul, set a few PR's on rough descents, quicker than I have even been on 140mm and 150mm travel full suspension bikes! I love it.
I wish someone would buy my Mojo HD frame now as the Bronson will be here soon.

Well just got back from a night time blast round Whinlatter with Barnes and the boys. Fucking awesome fun this night riding. It's like a totally new route at night. Much much fun.
I was also forced to go "off piste" on some rather terrifying (to me) extra bits, but my reward was witnessing Barnes clipping a over turned tree on some north shore at great speed. How the fuck he didn't break something is beyond me, but never the less it was fun to watch..
