MTB Video from Brechfa

Rather than working today, Dave, Pete and myself met at Abergorlech near Brechfa for a ride around both the Gorlech and Raven Trails. It turned out to be a great day out with some really good riding. The trails there have matured well and were riding fast. They weren’t too wet or muddy either which...

Bontrager 24/12 Video 2011

I’m still waiting for the official Bontrager 24/12 video to come out as they were filming all weekend and usually produce something quite slick, but I took  my GoPro HD around with me and got some footage of the first lap or so.

Bontrager 24/12 Race Report

We’ve just got back from a week away which all started with the Bontrager 24/12 MTB race in Newnham Park, near Plymouth.

Bike Bits

I’m still out of action due to torn ligaments in my ankle. I didn’t do the Lake Bala swim on Saturday as I thought it was best to rest it so that I’ll hopefully still be able to do the Bontrager 24/12 MTB race in a couple of weeks where I’m supposed to be ‘racing’...

A summer’s evening ride

We had a lovely Mountain Bike ride last night and it was nice to see a number of new faces on the ride as well. We met at our usual spot near to Angler’s Retreat. As well as myself, there was Pete, who is now a regular rider having started riding with us last year,...
