🙂 brilliant!

Yes will be there for this one 🙂 crossing fingers it doesn’t rain this year… interesting course in the wet!

He’s only human I guess…

aah makes you sick seeing these stories 🙁

Got hit by a car this week just the other side of the river to Putney.. right over the bonnet… not a pleasant experience but at least my driver got out and helped….

Nice to know this woman is still on the streets and living in a town near where I ride… Not!

Yep will be doing it seeing as the club I ride for organize it 🙂

Hoping for the same weather as last year.. dusty and dry.. well a few got wet at the end of the day!

Sea & sky closely followed by sunburst 🙂

Yes.. so slow had to email and ask if the item was in stock even though it had 10+ in stock… next day get email saying in process.. still not arrived 4 days later…

Was recently at Langdale campsite during one of the may bank hols and was simply brilliant (had amazing weather too).. High recommend but not one of the cheapest campsite

forgot to say also posted up on here when I did mine and had some good advice 🙂

you can at least when the moon boot arrives potter on the bike….

thegman67 – I feel your pain.. completely snapped mine back in 2009 and almost missed a whole year 🙁

Have you had the op to put it back together? Highly recommended if your going to carry on with doing sport etc? (you get a pretty cool scar)

The one biggest thing I was told by quite a few experts was when resting, watching tv, sleeping or even if you go back to work etc to have your foot elevated to help the blood follow! Think it made a massive difference because by the time I started physio they thought I had recovered to well and feared I might damage it and put me back in the boot for a little while longer ;-/

When you get to physio stage really do all the exercise they give you.. they might hurt or feel impossible when you start but again you will have totally muscle wastage and need to get your core strength back and this will aid not damaging it again in the period of you getting back to full strength.

Also if you can afford extra physio to have it massage helps the pain and stiffness 🙂

Oh I kind of cheated by riding on the turbo trainer with the moon boot on (physio did know about that).. good for getting a bit of fitness back but again can be quite painful to do anything on it to start 🙁

Wouldn’t wish it on anyone getting this injury… hang in there and get well soon!

CR one’s…

Cheers guys…

it is becoming a toss up on price.. I can pick up the hopes from merlin for 95quid each with vip discount (without adaptors and rotors)

or Formula’s for 113 each for CR (prob again without rotors and adaptors)

…have been a loyal hope fan but tried some formula’s at the weekend ;-/

why worry about your age… ride til you drop I say 🙂

I don’t see why not.. a pro in top flight for 20years and a great role model!

you see a lot lesser sportsman get them….

oops…

if you can push the budget hope pro3 on mavic open pro… paid new off ebay shop 200quid 🙂 (had aksium and used 5 days a week for 9 months and totally worn out)

Sheffield who 🙂

as much as possible 🙂

I’ve not seen 2 dogs running around, joined at the genitals and facing different directions since at least 1983.

Never understood the appeal of Putney.. ride through everyday and is simply a dump 🙁

oldgit.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder 🙂

big fan of the klein’s 🙂

Caught this dude in London on his!!!

Yes.. I had a double take 🙂

No… (Carbon) best bike I have ridden and I have ridden quite a few nice ones 🙂 touch wood nothing broken!

A refreshing change for specialized… I like myself… sure cav will be quick on it 🙂

Brilliant watches and the only ones I haven’t broken yet on the bike!

Had mudman but sold so now down to 2 Casio G-2900V-8VER 🙂

njee20 – you riding with james, steve etc? We are the other Beyond Mountain bikes bunch 🙂 Nice long team name ;-/

Top class.. ditto on the dog haha… 🙂

Yep got the email this morning 🙂

Great way to know your bike 🙂 and getting the perfect set up.. never bought a stock bike but frame and build up… my 2 current builds:

and my dad’s (time of pic almost finished)

enjoy 🙂

Blur3810 – Used my mono mini last 2 times out in morzine with 180/160 and did the job well except maybe lacking a bit of power and by the end of the week hands felt the brunt of it!

Good thing with hope is they are so easy to service if you get any problems unlike other makes… Few guys had avid’s and ended up not riding by the end of the week due to problems ;-/

for the price diff the 3GS for me… the differences are not great enough for the price difference imo!

One of the full sus.. always like the look 🙂
