yes.

Ragley was originally going to be a model name, for the brand Tweek.

But Tweek (and Tweak) got opposed by Demon Tweeks (the car people) after we approached them to ask, nicely, if we could use the name...

They've just launched http://www.tweekscycles.com.

So, we flipped our model name for our first ti bike, to our brand name for the whole range, and genuinely, I'm delighted how it worked out.

Ragley Woods is up the side of Colden Clough, where the mmmbop trail is.

I'm very tempted to take my Ragley to Ragley Woods when I visit my sister for Christmas. Worth the trip from Huddersfield?

Worth the trip from Huddersfield?

As a resident of Colden, with Ragley Woods visible from my window, I am turning over in my mind whether I'd rather be here or in Huddersfield.....

Oh look here was the sunrise from my bedroom window this morning

The riding's not bad either.
