I have gotten on with most trail centres on the basis that they are simple and easy… but I would set fire to the NFT in Grizedale if given the chance. Or make every one go the opposite way.
No Trail centre should be 75% climbing with turns that ruin every good descent, unless you are a local.

I’d go for the on-one. Can’t beat £175 of glory steel.
I was recently thinking of swapping my bluepig for a Summer Season.. but they are pretty much the same bike..

I have been using my since May… I have not had any problem with the hotness complaints. Been to Italy and Spain during september with no problems. The G Wrap is awesome for collecting all that sweat.
Very light. Although, I have taken off the visor.. not because it bent or broke or did anything stupid, just because I was afraid it would do those previously mentioned things during airline travel and have been too lazy to put it back on.

I have a s/m helmet and a pretty round head. no fitting issues at all with the smallest pads on.
the longer back has actually saved my arse. I’d definitely buy another if I wanted to drop the cash.

Well.. Admittedly, I haven’t read any of this nonsense…
but I will say, as far as becoming Italian goes, good luck.
Although they can defer you for up to 6 months.. their actual requirements to becoming a citizen make it about as easy as becoming a BC resident. Italy, in all respects, is a 3rd world country. They only speak Italian.. and even at that they only speak THEIR italian. It’s hilarious actually.. but, if you can’t speak talian, they wont even consider you trying to help the economy in anyway. And! Finding a job as a foreigner, because being there on an english companies work contract doesn’t count towards your time living there, will be a sunuvabitch.

Try Aberdeen?

Get leather shoes with some tall SealSkinz. problem (except the smell of your shoes) solved.
Has never failed me.

Woman friend.
When the day of marriage comes.. she is groomed to just be called Woman.

I rarely eat breakfast.
Scrounge whatever somebody left over at work for lunch/some BS I made… today it is ground beef on bread with a relentless…
I usually drink the dinner, or have some form of carb overload.

That’s the average (not riding) day… I usually eat less on days I have had an insane ride. Sausage and Mash is almost always the meal of the day.

I didn’t think it would be as bad as people had told me.. but I have a feeling you would sleep well if sharing the back with your steed. haha.

Ah! You men are champions.
Many thanks!

Yes, druid. lube fumes is a bit bizarre in writing.. but that wee bit of oil sitting on the chain and seeping from my fuctsektors is taxing, to say the least.
