Another week another ride...

Good ride tonight - just Kev and I but there seemed to be a lot of riders out in Macc Forest tonight!

Kept it short, both of us tired and Kev's first week back on the bike for a few weeks, and I'm still trying to get full sus fit for Scotland in September. Another week with the full face again and Charity Lane was lots of fun, maybe a little too easy now though? Singletrack, invincible on the big bike.

We're doing Lee/Cragg quarry next Wednesday - and shooting for another section of the video... I'll be 30 by then as well. Doesn't time fly...

Back on the bounce...

It's been a few weeks since I've been out on the bike and I felt it tonight!

Tony and I headed out, and it was good to ride the Coiler Dee-lux after a long time in hibernation (with shock and bottom bracket issues). I'm going to keep this short tonight, suffice to say we just did a Charity Lane / singletrack blast.

The Coiler was immense coupled with the full face and I was getting tired pedalling in top gear... awesome fun - and SO quick, and so much more stable. The singletrack was slippery (apparently according to Tony) but I was going so quick I didn't notice hehe.

Roll on next week.

Goodbye beard, hello bottom bracket...

A weeks holiday without a razor and I had quite a cool beard. Cathy hated it though, it wasn't anything like Jamie's monster!

Ordered some bottom brackets from Superstar for both bikes. A cool Aerozine one with SKF bearings for the Saints and an innovative large bearing ISIS for the Race Face Evolves. Fitted the Aerozine one to the Chameleon in 10 mins! Can't wait to get out on a bike, such bad news at home this week that I could really do with a break.

That's six for Scotland!

Yup it's organised, not booked, but sorted... Fearingout hit Glentress and Innerleithen the 24th to 27th September!

Accomodation is sorted for 6, that's Jon, Chris, Ross and I plus newbies Pete and Kev.

Anyhow good ride tonight, dry weather again, Charity Lane was fast and dusty and the singletrack was lush and overgrown but terrific! This is what it's all about, this is Macclesfield.

See you in a fortnight, and also an afternoon jaunt to Lee Quarry for my 30th is planned! Ciao!
