My first star trail photo

Commute home

The WRT 17

Wildcat British made here but Apidura stuff also is well made.

Anyone going to do a bag drop, or are you carrying your stuff using the food stops to top up

Loads of Lauf’s

Cheers all

Didn’t make much sense but easy watching.

Oh, new companion seems good. Well acted.

I’m with you on that one

Bold Forest

Bugs life

As an affordable alternative to the non roadie skinny bodied rider take a look at Columbia’s Out Dry material.
I have one of their jackets and it’s fantastic in the rain and not noticeably sweaty inside as the pit zips are massive.
And because there is on DWR the mud just washes straight off with a hose pipe.
I’ve used it many times on the bike and dog walking in the rain and it still looks like new.
OutDry

I have this, but the black is more of a grey colour

and I have a pair of their trainers with OutDry in as well and I’ve never had wet feet. I can’t see that same pair on their site now as they were on offer at the time.

Slightly heavier, slightly bulkier, heavier duty (I guess), more available (than Gore) and a lot cheaper

avid levers.

They are already Avid’s on there Tony. BB7’s.

AlasdairMc – I never had any issues with these brakes before, but I do live on the flat lands

Live the last one
“We asked Elite UK Downhillers Danny Hart and Josh Bryceland for comment, but unfortunately their incomprehensible accents defeated even Google Translate. We are reasonably confident they both said something about pies.”

RIP Mike Hall

Let’s not all blame the driver as the accident was at night, in the dark. Mike had been complaining about his poor eye sight in the dark and that he might need glasses only the day or two before on the event film clips.
Plus he’d been riding more that any of us could dream of with very few stops.

A true understated legend. Bye Mike

Travers Road or MTB

I think Canyon Fat bikes come with them as standard, but they are not for re sale anywhere else.

Many thanks for posting this film.

I met John and chatted with him several times while climbing in Warrington he was always great to get on with and never in your face about his awesomeness.
But a lad he climbed with from time to time needed a good slapping ;-)

It’s a great series so far, lets hope they can continue this into the future.

I was lucky enough to be marshalling and at my spot here are my 6 best crash photos

I love them, No Greg I won’t post a photo on here for your gnome ;-)

I’ve an original trail racer which is too flex compared with my others and I’ll be upgrading to the boost version as soon as I can.

I’ve 2 Carbonara’s one on my Fat Bike and another on my 29er+ and for me they are absolutely perfect for everything that I ride.

I’ve a Grit on my CX bike and after 2 normal CX bikes in the past this takes it to another level.

Mileage according to Strava
29er Trail Racer (original) 1,876.9 miles
Fat Carbonara 2,405.9 miles
29er+ Carbonara around 1500 miles swapped on frame from a rigid
Grit CX fork 789.6 miles

I’m no mtb journalist and I’m no downhiller who loves the “gnar” I’m an xc rider and bike packer and I’ve never had a thought while riding them thinking I wish I had a traditional fork for this trail

OMG is it only 6 weeks away….

Hey Aus
There’s nothing wrong with a Mid Life crisis.
I’ve 4 Travers now

I get scared now when I hear Michael has a new idea

I enjoyed that much more than I was expecting to.

Here’s my Travers DRITi with a Lauf Grit fork

Had an Felt CX and a full carbon CX before this but this is so much nicer to ride, it’s in a different league for sure

and for St David’s day

Heard good things about this range
