Its battered 3 years of lakeland rock has taken its toll and and want bigger tyres as they work for me..

Learnt nowt yet I have had a demo on one but it came with skinny tyres with little grip in the wet and no dropper and I punctured 3 times it was pissing it down on the afternoon I had it for. Rode like my whyte and felt ok size wise. The bike seem well stiff and the suspension seem to work well

Living week by week no savings  but hell I,m having a good time!!!

bump must be some evol riders out there

Just put a Boost set of forks on my T130 Whyte  with a Dirt Wizard up front 3.0 the bike is now awesome

There will be an Adventure Film night on the Friday night with a Wood fired Van outside Wheelbase with beer supplied by Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery.

Its a push and very boggy in places I,ve done it a few times and worth the effort plus size tyres for the win on most of it!

as above

Loverly!

Great riding around there

Yes will always be those who ride as far as possible taking in all the Lake District has to offer not many racing snakes :-)

The TBC charity will be

Black eyed Friday does that not happen al over the country? Restaurants in town are pretty thin on the ground but as above loads of country pubs doing good food , ate at the BLACK LABRADOR  recently and it was fab.

Rich

around 5% of the town is flood risk. If you ride bikes you will make friends thriving cycle club with rides for everyone, town is probably 30% offcomers so we are slowly taking over :-)

Hardly ever drink at home maybe the odd glass of red with the right food, outside of the house I struggle to ride past one every ride I can remember has finished with a beer. Think I hold the most pints downed on the HT550 :-)

Kendal Mountain Festival this weekend so I will be bladdered all weekend!

Cheers

Kendal resident for the last 6 years  always does well in the best places to live lists, schools all seem to be good lots of dull housing its not called the Auld Grey town for nothing.

Rich

My map slot has a hole for water to drain away :-)

Normal zips for toughness  so as you would expect the waterproof quality is minimal they did mention something about giving it as an option if people really wanted it. I was not that bothered as most of the gear that goes in there is ok with dampness!

I can get my tent quite easily in my frame bag the red poles are the tent poles!

Before Untitled by Richard Munro[/url], on Flickr

Only had 3 trips on them so far robust bags like the front bag as it has straps on so you can use it for hike a bike taking the load off the front when wrestling  the bike over boulders/bogs and long pushes up. The rear pack might not be to everyone tastes because of the two straps connecting to the rear stays but it secures it well and keeps sway down to a minimum. Frame bag has nice touches like a map/phone pocket inside has straps to secure things like tent poles pumps/poles

as expected thanks for verifying!

High turnover is do to  a lot of people use it as a stop gap for another job,not realising how hard it can be ,piss poor management that only focus on what the computer says !

Mr Smith obviously not very good with the Christmas tips then :-) How about talking to the Postie !!

Aye job is not job and knock anymore! well not in my office as they collapse duties when people call in sick or someone gets suspended and you have to take out extra if your prepped really early. Posties are beginning to do the job as required come in on time not an hour early and  taking breaks as required. I start at 9.40am and finish @ 6pm so I miss all the bitchin in the morning :-)

Would i recommend to a friend probably just don’t expect and easy time in your first 6 months until the next people roll through the doors as there is a high turnaround of staff. Workload is effecting my riding I only get out once in a while :-)

serves you right for shutting down all the local lbs

42 mile Bike and Camp rather moist but was good
