Room for improvement and some changes have occurred which have effected my original plans at the start of the year:

Been riding more as I ride into work :D but not as much mtbing as I would like. :(
I haven't riden any of my above mention areas. :(
Did another training day with T :D :D
No longer selling the Cotic or getting a new full susser so wil not be beefing up the Norco. Bought DH tyres though.
Still to learn how to bleed brakes but I am going on a Cytech 2 trainning coarse this month and just completed a Retul fit coarse so making progress in my move to a career in the cycle industry :D :D :D

I'll add my half year goals-

1) clear all the doubles on the dual and 4x at chicky - Complete 23/7
2) finish building mine and my mates dirt jump runs; then get council permission to be the keeper of the said area.
3) meet up for rides with peeps on here!
4) ride Danbury more
5) keep bike dialled and looked after

See how far I get with that!!!!

Simnply ride more places and to go bigger and faster.

Only thing I haven't really done is ride more places, laziness and lack of a car doesn't help.

Just been looking through this- did anybody make it to the Alps?
I really, REALLY want to do something in June with Trail Addiction but it'd be XC more than DH.
I'm also considering driving.....
Anybody else looking at this for 2012?

Oh and Laser, although it may not seem it I can wheelie fairly well- next time we're out I'll teach you!

2 wheels good, 2 wheels + engine better!
