Re:

Paying Pip a visit, he couldn't resist a few shots - and I'm stoked he did!

She's sporting new boots for the season ahead after I got through the pair of NOS Smoke and Dart's last year. Proof, if ever you need it that old rubber doesn't stand the test of time if you're riding (relatively) hard. I finally fitted ceramic pads so curious to see if they make any difference.

Hurry up spring!

great pictures, that Hot colourway is one of my favourites on any bike.

Re:

Great seeing the two together. Really lovely!

The ‘new’ green Z2s really make a striking appearance.
Hope you had a great time

Re:

Coldest morning for some time means only one choice of bike to ride

New boots and new pads have made a notable difference. Thumbs up all round!

Re:

Beautiful - Hot to trot

Did you see tintin40's post on Today's Ride with the trail closed? I saw Crown Estate on the sign; I take it that's Lookout / Swinley Forest.

I did, and no surprise really. This is when our local trails really come into play

Re:

Don't let the mud, grey skies or lights fool you :facepalm: it's British Summer Time! After yesterdays hail the trails were a little more sticky but still really great. These daily early morning blasts instead of the tarmac commute are spot on and just the tonic.

This is the William Willet sundial memorial, the "creator" of BST.

This became my go to bike last year with the move west and all the bikes in bits. This was the one I built back up first and took to the trails. Consequently it was nice to see it feature on the cog

Wow Alasdair - this is what we want to see. A fine and somewhat unique example of the Kona Hot doing the trails. Picture added to my records. Well done mate.
