Hope vision 1s, should be able to pick them up for £70ish, nice little light, takes aa batteries, gets you out at night with change to spare

Shouldve used Aston hill IMHO

I had the same issue, got a lumi led, seem best value for money for the least faff. Great piece of kit, can’t fault it. Bright too: during the day I occasionally use it to shine messages onto the surface of the sun :lol:

Cheers guys!

My 3rd year this year. Advice, pace yourself and enjoy it, it’s been fantasticthe first 2 times I did it, apparently the course is similar to last years with even more singletrack!

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not protest;
I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.

Mine was doing that last week, I applied ‘brand new thomson post’ to the issue and it went away.

Any excuse

Mates of mine did, but have since moved on to more ‘trail’ machines. Bit of a slog I think

None of us here have to define ourselves as ‘a mountainbiker’ I think this labelling is a bit weird, people who go to the gym or play five a side don’t use these things as a label. If you fancy going for a bike ride go for one, if not don’t; it’s not all or nothing.

One thing I would say however is that exercise in whatever form is good for you, physicAlly and for your state of mind; keep getting exercise, you won’t get that unfit for biking.

Is there any racing at this event? I wasn’t sure from the posters?

Really like it, find them very predictable and reasonably fast, come up very slightly larger then my 2.1 fire xc

I’m not an engineer, but I wouldn’t want to ride it again, I could have other areas of internal weakness, on the up side time fir a new frame

Yeah, I’m in Hemel, we’re out all the time, be happy to have you along for a some mid paced jey mincing and serious eating of cake
