The official results for the Mawddach Goldrush 2010 are out. Click here to see them. It’s an excel file with 3 worksheets. Two for solo, one for those who didn’t cross finish line after 1st lap, and the other for those who did. 3rd worksheet are the relay times. Unfortunately there was quite a mix...
In case you didn’t know, the new, soon to be available Apple iPad doesn’t support Flash. Not a bad thing in my view as Flash is a memory hog, drains batteries and isn’t the most standards compliant technology out there. It is also a proprietary Adobe technology rather than an open standard. Apple claim these...
I recently discovered that iTunes had some Mountain-Biking videos for download and I couldn’t resist them. The first I downloaded was ‘Seasons’ from the Collective which was amazing, loads of good footage, some excellent filming and a good mix of riding. At about an hour long you just can’t go wrong for £1.89. The sound...
I’ve just noticed that my Commencal Meta 5.5 Mountain bike has recently hit the 1,000 mile mark. Not that far in the grand scheme of things, but not too bad going for me really. It has actually logged 1,067 miles to date, so hit the 1,000 mile mark on the ClimachX Trail on February 13th,...
March 7th 2010, Mawddach Goldrush day. The first MTB event of the year for me. Last year I did it as part of a 3 man team so only did one lap but this year I had decided I ‘should’ be able to do it solo and do all three laps on my own. The...
Typical isn’t it, I get a load of new windsurfing kit in my quest to hit 40 knots before I’m 40 and then there’s a conmplete lack of wind forecast. I’ve just taken a look at the forecast on Windguru for the next week and there isn’t a single star showing. Oh well, I’ll just...
With the Mawddach Goldrush looming on Sunday I’m now taking it easy for the second half of this week so that I’m fresh for it. I did however have to do some bike maintenance earlier this week and whilst at it did a wiper seal service on my forks and a rear shock air can...
My quest to hit 40 knots on a windsurf board continues with the delivery of another new board last night. Boardwise in Cannock did me a great deal on a brand spanking new Fanatic Falcon Speed and delivered it in person for me last night… Although it may have looked a bit dodgy on any...
As well as signing up for the Dyfi Enduro 2010 yesterday I managed to get an entry for the Manx E2E, or to give it its full name the Isle of Man End 2 End Challenge. It’s another Mountain Bike race, this time, as its name would suggest, from one end of the Isle of...
Entries for the 2010 Dyfi Enduro opened today and soon sold out completely. I managed to get an entry in though, rider number 282. Most of the local riders also got a place so it should be a good year. The course will be similar to last years – Click here to see the Dyfi...
