That time of year!

Yes it's that time of the year again, The UK's most important test!

The mbr Trail Bike of the Year 2009 for the third year running and the second year with a ten out of ten is ...................................... yes you guessed it ORANGE FIVE PRO!!!!!!!!!

All I've got to do now is learn how to ride it without flying over the bars each time we hit the bog!!!!!!!

See you all Monday 7:00 pm outside the Albion.

Saturday ride anyone?

Sorry I couldn't make it out last night. Decided to do some of the route on my way home from work and on the flat just before the downhill section in Steppingley woods my rear mech decided to place it self in my rear wheel. Hence a bent mech, mech hanger, broken chain and bent spoke! Pic below

So anyway ordered the new parts and they should hopefully be arriving tomorrow, which if they do I want to get them on the bike and go for a ride on Saturday is anyone about to show me some more of the local trails?!

Thanks! Rob

Evans Cycle Ride It Challenge 28th March

Hi,

Who's up for the Evans Cycle ride in a few weeks round the local Bow Brickhill route?

Neil has mentioned this to me as a really good steady ride out on a Saturday morning, but the main thing is all the 50% off the goodies on sale at the start/finish line. Get this; you can even try before you buy, so anyone who wants new gloves etc. get them before your ride out, then just hand them back or buy them after you've finished the ride.

All the details of the ride and the download of the GPRS is on the link below.
