Who? I think he's going try and fuck me and my talentless mates up at Maybie Forrest or summat on Friday.
Alas I've got kids and a wife to entertain during school holidays. But if I ever get half good I'll pile down and have a pop with you young cunts...

Today I seemed to have spent a bit on my push bike. New gear cable outers and inners. Running the outers in one piece instead of the split open cable bits like original. Will have to drill out the cable guides in places.
Bought a super tacky high roller for the front and borrowing a maxxis cross mark for the rear to try
Got a 203mm rotar and bracket for the front. The bike came with 180mm rotars so rear is fine and got new pads to go in as well.
Bike is stripped down so everything can be cleaned and lubed up properly. It's done about 600-650 miles since I bought it in feb, all off road and trails. Ain't bad. Fuck knows how I'm over a stone heavier than the start of the year lol.

Did anyone from here get involved with this years Exmoor Explorer which ran on Sunday?
First ever entry into an event like it and it was quite an eye opener!
I rode it with my partner as part of our training for cycling the West Highland Way in Scotland in 4 weeks. It turns out we are NOT ready for that challenge at all and need to seriously do something about our cycling fitness ha ha
Here is a link to the write up of the event as part of her blog about the WHW prep and trip:
