excellent someone who lives there! i shall definitely be in touch

haha organic… ken what i meen?

dave/jock
sounds good! that photo is very nice, ive been looking on google images at photos too.
the bike park/ski resort sounds good, proximity seems to be within an hour!!! how many citys have that?!
I would be taking a Demo 7 and a Yeti ASR with me I would think…

well i ended up getting off at dundee, was cycling with girlfriend so didnt want to go too far, then cycled through tentsmuir forest and found a nice bit of singletrack in there! then just to St. Andrews, stopped for lunch on the beach and it was so nice and sunny we just stayed there most of the day! Was a fantastic day :D… mountain biking, in the sun, beautiful girl, picnic on the beach, bottle of wine, what else do you need?

If your bothered about tax, just whip off the box and bring it back without it, then you took it with you and bought it in the uk. ;)

Oo sounds promising! After a bit hunt on google it seems it’s quite a historic town, unesco world heritage site for the old town in the centre, pretty cool!

Do you think it’s a problem I don’t like beer? Ha

So what about biking? Anyone taken a bike there?
Iolo – fancy asking the tourist information man where the nearest decent ski resort is? Thanks ;) quite a trip just to see the doc?

Processor ain’t that good and the graphics card int great but for that price it looks alright. Try the dell outlet website? They sell 2nds that are basically new bar maybe a scratch to the case or something petty like that

+1 for the walna scar road, I think it is one of my favourite descents in the uk!!

Dine most of the passes in the lakes and we did the loop around great gable which includes honister pass (we took road up and off road down), the pass that goes over haystacks that I can’t remember the name of, black sail pass and then sty head which I must say was bloody excellent! Very difficult hike a bike up ost of it but the descents were too good!!! That was anti clockwise btw

Did a loop taking in garburn, nan bield and gatesgarth pass which was also very good!! That was also anti clockwise

Dirt biker? Is that because there has been so many recommendations from here an awesome network of trails has developed from everyone exploring it haha!

i thought about attempting to do this on the longest day in 24hrs…. possible?

i found it a big crap and tedious same shots all the way through, and whats with the total over the top tyre on soil or bike noise played over every shot?

bikebuoy – your first photo is Madrid cathedral not Florence ;) very nice it is too.

Im pretty sure that masonry buildings arnt brick buildings? e.g. the great wall of china or some of those castles.

Get more dieste on here, his stuff is insane!
DIESTE

Some stuff you wouldnt believe possible with bricks!

it seems like red cross is a good shout since its just a small event i would be organising

sorry i thought this was something related to Pen Island

dobbo – LOL
eflinsafety correct – 1 is marrakech
two more…

number two is in the uk

who says its a church? ;)
correct 6 is edinburgh

geoff – correct
dendennis – correct

i realise my comment at the end maybe a bit confusing since there are 6 different cities to guess here, i meant that if number two is in scotland then there are only 6 cities to chose from

i read the whole thread through and the more i read the more it seemed you were all over reacting, the photos that you have provided people who do not know the forest personally suggest a trail that is not to distant from a usual forest trail, hence your rants and complaints seem over the top and seemingly pathetic. I agree there needs to be some work done, but nothing to the extent you are all winging about. it seems like because the culprits are students you feel you can have a go even more than usual because students are always in the wrong.

thought it was google doing this?

emsz – me too! and thats the plan :D

planning on being in the centre of paris, havent found a place yet but there are sooo many flats available i will find a definate one closer the time.

mm a few… i was just wondering if there was anyone over there near or in Paris, a biking chum might help as im planning on taking a bike or two. and im sure il have more questions about what to do before i move there and things.

hmmm i see, this is how you’re going to play the game is it, perhaps some rephrasing is in need….
who on the STW forum is from France?

imo a lot of the photos you have taken of the trails look fairly pathetic and what i would call i woodland trail anyway, some muddy areas in a pine forest after some rain? flippin heck i would never have guessed!
I agree there seems to be some post race work needing to be done it sounds like your being a bit pathetic and just looking to have a go at some students because they are students!

yeah good point, why not ride it the way i want! :D
i have a dh bike also if i decide i want some hardcore
unfortunately no warranty as its an 07 model unless yeti have some kind of awesome warranty deal they do?

Dancake?

o it’s second hand… no warranty for me :(
what scares me is that i can bend the seatstay/chainsays in towards each other with one hand.
im a slinky fella only 11stone

does anyone remember or have the link to that map that everyone posted on where they live (roughly)???

+1
-1
for confidence in carbon there

what about doing ‘sweet jumps’ (allbeit small ones)

man on bike in woods doing jump

ah thank you, so doesnt sounds toootally crap anyway. i have a yeti asr-sl i was thinking of taking and maybe a street/dj bike.

cheers man, i shall have a look see on the maps at those areas, i seem to have managed to download an ign app for my ipad which had the whole of france on it for free :S not bad eh.
do you live over in paris?

bump? anyone?

i currently have a set of f100s so was wondering whether to keep those or get some talas, i have a demo 7 you see and want a trail bike/xc bike but didnt want to go for the 575 as it seemed daft as its only an inch differnce from the demo and i cant afford all three

dh bike and a dj bike fit in the back of a classic mini at the same time, it will fit…

i fit my spesh demo 7 with only wheels off in the back of my classic mini (across the back seats, which had been taken out), that car only measures 4ft across, so yeah no problem!

my formula the ones do this as do a few others i dont think its anything to worry about

this is what has inspired me to do it… anyone seen the reset films film called find? the guy on there who does that 7 stanes challenge!
hmmm whw seemingly would be nuts!

i think the whwx2 challenge is a gooden! will need to source some kind of trail bike then as i have carbon ht a dj bike or a dh bike i dont imagine any of those will be ideal. im sure we could fit in some kind of silliness in that also garry.
is it actually doable though if so far people have only managed 40 hours?! il look into it…

that is mightely exciting attempting to be the first to do that in 24hrs, what did the guy who claimed to have done it on here do it in? as 40 hours down to 24hrs seems pretty extreme!
good shout mind

what sort of time have people managed to do the WHWx2 in so far? isnt half of it a bit shoite and unrideable? or not?
