Jeff Kendall-Weed visits the Pacific North West

Even if you’re disinclined to spend a conservatory-sized amount of money of mtb clothing, this video from Kitsbow is well worth a watch.

The annoyingly competent Mr Kendell-Weed shows us (on a variety of wheels, both front AND back, as well as – occasionally – both) some truly fab riding in some ace locations. An amusing soundtrack and the odd crash unexpectedly laced into it keep the attention up (I particularly like 02:14).

Barney Marsh

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.
