Nice vid, even my 17 month old boy sat and watched the whole thing. Pretty incredible really considering he's got 2 speeds; flat out and asleep

apart from the flat out bit, that pretty much describes my riding style

Where was most that filmed

95% Lickey Hills, as described in issue 82

NWAlps? It doesnt look like the Alps?

looks exactly like the (North Worcestershire)NWAlps to me

Nice little vid RD.

Me & Mick did a 40 mile loop on Saturday using some of those trails, had a great days riding. Trails were still dry and riding beautifully. Did pretty much the whole route avoiding roads, Bromsgrove, canal, Barnt Green, Lickeys, Romsley, Clent and back via the bridle ways. Much more of a challenging ride than I thought it would be.

"yea, never underestimate what's in your back yard, the grass isn't always greener over there"

NW alps are my back yard, and after the rain of the last few days, the grass is a fair bit greener over here. Trails are a whole wheen better too, though access to Tunnocks product is not so good.

Very good.Lovely riding by the looks of it.
However , as a regular contributor to these parts,
I would expect you to be setting a better example when it comes to brake hose length. ๐Ÿ™‚
