Diary of a Megavalanche Virgin Part 3: Win some, lose some…
Well it’s been a while since my last blog and mixture of progress and epic fails.

Diary of a Megavalanche Virgin Part 2: Skills Time
It’s time to get the skills to pay the bills – or at least to prevent any serious glacier based incidents

Our new gravity enduro correspondent would like to introduce himself…
Diary of a Megavalanche Virgin Part 1: A hill in Wales
Jenny’s never raced a mountain bike – what better introduction than the Megavalanche then?
New Year – New Bike!
I’ve always been a bit of a cyclocross fan (despite there being a spot fine for even mentioning it aloud in the office). I’ve race the Three Peaks three times in the last 15 years and I’ve done local ‘cross races on and off throughout that time. I’ve always been a bit of a purist [...]
Perpetual Motion

Interbike: surely I’ve got the hang of it now?
This is my 17th Interbike – and I’ve yet to master it…
Hope you’ve not missed me too much!
Hi all, Well I’m counting down the days. It’s my final week of being a lady of leisure. Looking forward to being back in the office and seeing everyone again. The ten months have flown since I handed over the Subscription reigns to the wonderful Jamie Ware and what a super job he’s doing. Sounds [...]
Other people’s trails
I reckon 98.5%* of my riding is done on trails in a 20km radius of where I ride, because we’re lucky that locally there’s enough variation and quality of riding that justifying travelling out of the valley seems pointless. That same variation and quality also means I get to spend a fair amount of [...]
