Hi Everyone!

Been a fairly keen rider since I was a teen, started out on BMX and now 33 have moved to MTB and still having fun.

Mostly ride locally around highams park, hollow ponds, and epping forest when it not tooo muddy. Have just returned from a week trip to the French/Italian Apls and its such a shame i dont live there! riding is fantastic.

Been riding a Giant AC1 for the last 5 years, getting a bit heavy compaired to some of the newer bikes and an currently saving for a Trek Remedy, Oragnge 5 or Heckler, not sure yet!

I have joined to find some more rides and this forum seems to have some good suggestions and group rides, might check out Danbury soon and i'm overdue a trip to Wales! Also just read that esher is closing, very dissapointed not to have visited before it closed!

Anywoo, hope to keen riding and posting and might see u on a trial one day soon!

Faceplant!

Hello mate - nice to have you onboard. Loving that name... I managed to face plant 3 times in a minute on a recent ride... highly entertaining to all those watching.

See you out on a ride sometime soon. Hows the south of Epping forest looking these days with all this rain?

Very wet and muddy, i was over devils dipps (behind Moat House Hotel, Oak Hill) last night and nearly had a faceplant in a mudpuddle.

any rides planned for bank holiday Monday?

Nice...live upto your tag name then

Had an over the bar's on Sunday to check that the leaves where as they should be....

Lol,

needs to be checked once in a while!

Anyone here ride a Trek Remedy? I was going to get a demo on Monday...

Crash does, speak to him

I think Crash is doing http://www.gorrick.com/racing/enduro12/ this weekend... madman that he is but ill see if I can rustle him up

Im entering it as well

Let us know how you get on mate - hope it stays nice and dry for you!

yes I have, remedy 8, 2009 model (its from before before they reduced the travel to 150mm)
light and slack, I really love it.

I tested on one the weekend, very light and a nice ride. bit rattley at the back but might have been the bike i had.

still leaning more towards a Heckler, or Blur LT, and will test a orange ST4 soon to compair against a short travel bike.

all the reviews of the different models i am looking at are very positive so i think its best i test them all before making a decision, planning on keeping my next bike for some time
