Seems like whatever you do someone on here is going to look down on you. I hugely enjoy riding around on my rigid SS. Yet I don't have a beard. It's amazing I can hold my head up in public.

Ah, there's some classic grade A mountain biking tosh. "Natural stuff"- just looked at your flickr page and those trails look exactly as "natural" as most trail centres, and more intensively surfaced and manmade than some.
[b]what an utter fail[/b] the link clearly says they are freeride nicks pics he posted 2 post later that he was glad he inspired people. I dont have a flickr page you looked at nicks 🙄
As I said I do ride trail centres and they are good I just prefer natural stuff. Why the big deal? Ride where you want free choice and all that.
Nick please e-mail DONK the route it would be fun to ride that with him.

try doing it with your beard caught in the chain...
"I know a bloke who did the C2C in 24 hours non stop" (although there may now be one)
Here is a good one to make you laugh.
I used to work in a small local bike shop and the owner would do whatever he could to get a sale. His bike knowledge was quite limited so I am not sure if he actually believed what he was saying or was talking complete crap on purpose to get a sale but his sales pitch for a carbon frame was:
"This carbon frame is biodegradable"
I still laugh about it now and it was over 10 years ago.
Mountain biking is a cheap hobby.
Junkyard- whether it's your page or not makes no difference, it was the link you chose to show how inspiring natural trails were and there wasn't one "natural" trail in the link. Liking these trails or not isn't the issue, but saying they're natural is almost always exception total crap.

Is your definiton of natural a field without a path in it or somewhere unaffected by man?
As I said ride where you like but I doubt many share your view that bridleways and footpaths in the Lakes are not "natural" and are comparable to a purpose built trail centre.
