reveiw.
the bike hire was excellent, the staff ran through a very thorough pre-hire check noting any issues. We were informed that general wear and tear would not be charged (tyre wear, paint chips etc) Each bike had the suspension tuned for the rider and I was advised that in the event of a puncture to get back to the workshop and they would fix it asap.
The Trek Slash 7 is a 650b and both my lads loved the bike for the trails
waterproof was totally unnecessary in the end as the glorius welsh weather shone on us all day – however my missus reminded me that i bought them both a cheap karrimor waterproof for walking some years ago.
i got two pairs of cheap fingerless gloves.
only thing which is worth remembering is a pair of safety specs – something i rather take for granted as i have prescription riding specs.
Huge thanks to the BPW mechanics, cafe, bike shop, uplift drivers and all the riders there yesterday, helped make it an enjoyable memorable occassion.
