    Thetford MTB Racing Winter series 2009/2010

    Nah he always looks like that! Our role? Before the race make contact with organiser and ensure everything is properly prepared. If a series, contact the previous commissaire and find out if there are any issues to be aware of. On arrival first off make sure the organiser has all the...

    Frame wanted about 19" or 20"

    Finally decided that the Cannondale is too small for serious riding (only took me 18 years)! Whilst it's fine as an occasional hack, i'm looking to build up a suitably retro hard tail for winter use as I'm getting fed up trying to get all the kack out of the Spesh. To make best use of...

    Bridleways>Walkers, Cyclists, Horses and......Quadbikes!!

    The government did commission a report (by consultants Faber Maunsell) a few years back to examine the alleged damage caused by recreational 4x4s on Byways (i.e. unsurfaced public roads open to all vehicles). Over 90% was found to have been caused by legitimate agricultural traffic. And...

    Old School Mountain Biker wins Gold in China

    The story is that the IOC asked "young people" what they wanted in the Games.... "Skate boarding" came the reply. Piss off said the IOC we don't want any more asthetic "sports", what else? "If we can't have skate boards we want BMX" said the great unwashed youths. Of course they meant...

    Rare Honda Ebay

    At least Buell have started using a half decent engine. I could never quite equate all the innovation with the dinosaur of a Harley lump in the middle. Mind you if I were to switch to a bike with an Aprilia built V Twin, it would be a Tuono or an RSV Mille :D In the meantime I'm happy...

    Chicksands - THURS NIGHT RIDES!

    After discovering this thread, I keep getting sidetracked on Thursday nights. And you've been having a laugh by the looks of things! Typically I won't be able to make it next week as I'm off to Fort William on Tuesday for a week working on the World Cup. Maybe June the 12th then? The...

    Marin Dusk 'til Dawn Thetford - 4th October

    Thetford is a blast! Lots of swoopy single track but don't think the lack of hills makes it easy. You never seem to rest because the only places you could, on the fire roads is where you can really crack on and make up the pace and also where you can overtake, so you never do get that rest...

    Vista vs XP

    XP at home, XP at work I'm happy enough! Biggest mistake I made recently was "upgrading" to IE7, OK I have a pitiful 576 Kps broadband connection and 512K Ram (but the lap top was free so I ain't complaining too much) but I didn't expect it to be so much slower. Seriously thinking of...
