NOT abbey farm camping… The facilities are filthy and the site rules are not adhered too or enforced. We stayed there in august and were camping in a tiny banshee 200, we were very nearly run over at 1am by a drunk and drugged up Liverpudlian, so close infact they hit the ropes of the tent.

My friend fell off the first piece of northshore at sherwood pines as it was wet and slippy… landed on his head and broke his collar bone, his helmet was completely smashed yet his head was fine.

I know it’s people own fredom of choice whether they do or not, but I can’t see many reason for not wearing one, other than the misconception that its not cool to wear one.

I’m bikless now as of last month :( my license was to precious unfortunately and I have no self control… well I do have self control but I own bikes to have fun, and I can only have fun one way.

My first bike

2nd bike

3rd bike

and probably my last bike, for now at least.

Mortgage and all bills (monthly food, elec/gas, water, sky, insurances) comes to around 23%.

I have no other outgoings as I have a company car so no insurance, fuel or servicing.

Jesus christ ladies and gents…

Puts me off ever having a slow bimble on my own, I hurt my ankle a little the other day and started wondering how the hell I was going to get out of the forest.

I unfortunately never bruise, even severe crashes don’t cause bruise, not even 90mph crashes on motorbikes lol… if I did I would be permenantly black and blue.

My girlfriend on the other hand bruise at the thought of pain…

she feel off twice last time we went to Llandelga and looks pretty bruised afterwards

This is the hill next to abbey farm campsite (a crap hole by the way) where we stayed for a weekend at Llandelga, hell of a climb up to that point.

Nice one, depending on your fork upgrade, if you went for the factory 32 float fit RLC with Kashima, then like me, you may be waiting a while :(

Buy new, and get it from Freewheel nottingham.

I’ve just ordered mine from the, orange 5 pro with most upgrade boxes ticked except the tubeless tyres… RRP £3800, got a very good discount for agreeing to pay the balance in full without finance.

I’ve had bad experiences with J E James unfortunately, wouldn’t buy a bike from them again.
