When I'm 64...



Ten years. Chris and I have known each other over 10 years and I can't recall us ever falling out. We've been riding together for 7 years - Chris was one of the other founding members of Fearingout...


So why am I talking bollocks? Well we were wondering whether we'd still be here in another 10 years! Hope so!

So after a promising turnout only Chris and I headed out tonight. After Martyn's excuses of bad weather and Tony leaving later it was actually quite nice to be just the two of us - we'd a really good chat on the climb and good chortles on Charity Lane which was surprisingly dry given all the rain in the past 7 days... fast and flowy.

We then re-visited the 'verge ride' - hell yeah. Remember the iconic snap of Scott on his Stinky pulling high out of this one? Well unfortunately you only have Chris and I to re-live the action - but I managed to get the bars turned a little. Tribute (and surprisingly good fun to just stop, chat, and mess about - just like the 'old days').

Onwards to the singletrack and we scoped out some new possibilities. Look forward to showing the trusted few what we've found. It looks really good fun and was great exploring in the woods. Taking it back to the roots - literally.

Cheese mode off - good ride, good laugh, good chat. Great weather, great company and great skills. See you next week!
