I’m new to singletrack and have been off the saddle for a while.

I’ve been out and treated myself to an orange five blackout.

Now looking for places to ride in Leeds as I’ve only been here a year. If anyone could help?

Get a copy of Issue 62. Route guides in there for West Yorks including a route to the east / NE of Leeds.

Or have a ride / drive to the Peaks for rides around Holmfirth etc.

Thanks for that I will try and get that issue.

I’m looking to get a gamut p30, any ideas of the best place to buy and get it fitted?

You bought a 5? Jesus wept… Buy a 29er, ideally a singlespeed made of spoons, plastic and titanium, build some wheels with silly expensive hubs and rims, buy an Assos gillet and grow a tash. Drink Welsh single malt, eat iDave’s foods and wrestle with ton.
Bike riding? Mincing or HC racing only, no riding please.
You MUST avoid CRC as they are convenient. Use your LBS and never forget to complain about their prices being higher than those of CRC.
Argue with Al, TJ and everybody else, befriend Elf, be humane.

Wow that’s was a blur, Im interested in xc and generally playing about at local trails.

I’m also a rock climber so have access to cottages in wales, the lakes, Scotland and the peaks so looking for bits there as well.

Just translated your abbreviations crc and lbs so it now makes sense. Thanks.
