Is this a late summer?

We've had 3 good days in the last 4, what's going on!?!!

Anyhow, to take advantage of the unseasonally good weather we organised a pre-Scotland blast around the usual haunts in Macclesfield.

Jon, Chris and I took an early dash from work to catch the light and headed up to Charity Lane taking in some good chat and banter plus Scotland planning.

Charity Lane was dry (somehow) and very loose, I was really not feeling it that much today, think I've lost my riding legs with the distinct slow down in riding this summer. All over the place and hanging on I had a good laugh, but a bit ragged. Chris and Jon too the singletrack, I gave it a miss expecting a mud-bath, bugger I was wrong. Gutted I missed that, but got a good snap of Chris anyway.

Work's been mad this last week so it was so good to blow the cobwebs away. As always though thoughts of a new set of wheels and a fork upgrade a hovering away in the back of my mind, a set of 2009 RockShox Revelation Maxle air with Hope ProII hubs and some light weight hardcore rims are very tempting. Then at least the pedals won't clash with the rim!

Wideopen longterm pedals with new pins were transformed from Llandegla with no foot slippage at all. In my opinion they should come with the long pins in the box.
