Hi there everybody.

Just recently moved from Kent, back home to Ilford, Essex. Missing the downs as they used to be my favorite ride. 20 miles of mixed riding, uphill (boo) downhill (yay) bit of road riding to get to the muddy stuff.

Not ridden for a while so fitness has suffered but looking for some people to ride with to get back in the saddle so to speak.

I ride a 2006 (?) specialized enduro pro full suspension.
Upgraded chainset from Deore to XT.
Brakes are XT 4pot hydraulic calipers on 203mm rotors front and rear.
Front forks are still the original manitou black platinum with lockout and adjustable travel 80-120mm.
Rear shock is original Fox R, "Itch Switch" and rare remote lock out.
wheels Mavic rims on XT hubs with either Panaracer mud tyres for the winter and Bontrager for dry.

She may be old, but shes got me to Brighton every year for the last 5 years on the trot.

looking forward to getting out and riding again soon.

Cheers Keith

Then check out the map link on the homepage there should be plenty to keep you amused
also there is a calender link in the top right of this page which highlights what rides are going on and when.

enjoy
