Thanks for the photos and detail Benji 👌

Ben Haworth, I’m curious as I trust your reviews and these grips look like a bargain at that price, but what do you mean by Plastic parcel tape? Can you send /put a photo on here?

Same here, I’m a full member and cannot download 149. Tried several times. Checked my account details, all seems in order. I don’t think they should publish that you can get hold of it if you cant.

I’m a member and I cannot download 149??

Done, I hope the creators of the survey get something meaningful out of it.

JonEdwards here, here ! Well said.

IHN, Your Steel bike won’t break when a rock pings up and hits the down tube.

Great, a good read. I already do most of these apart from the side planks. I’ve found the split squats most beneficial a physio recommended them to me coming back from a knee injury as well as arabesque/RDL with a kettle bell. Please put some more articles like this on the site. There’s a reason why Richie Rude is a consistent performing rider and it isn’t all just because he can ride. He incorporates strength and conditioning into his training. More like this please STW.

Wow, he’s harder than woodpecker lips

Nice to see Benji back with the team!

Great read, inspiring stuff!

Thanks never riden there before (live in Yorkshire ride dales and NY Moors) , i heard the trails around surrey hill and rapley farm were good and that the western end was badley damaged by fire and suffer after heavy rain

my mate has an osprey, was tempted myself but will wait till my lowe alpine dies. very nice 25litre sack though reflective bits top zips bladder compatable.

Thanks guys, had a crackng day out doing the Pudsey and Airedale routes on Saturday, I’ll be over. The new guidebook is mentioned in the latest fresh goods B.A.Nana – West Yorkshire Mountain biking by Benjamin Haworth ( vertebrate publishing)

best – merino base layer/hat and paramo jacket – seem to have a thermastat of their own to keep you just right.
worst – army socks.

five tens with merino wool & sealskins socks over the top do the job for me. they are quick for a bit of off the bike / unavoidable portage too.
