Got some hunt all season wheels and have gone tubeless for the commuter. But no way I’m commuting by bike in this weather. I’ll end up with a broken hip.

Same here. I go out early on a Sunday morning to beat the dog walkers and riders. It’s very muddy that all.
I also fitted some new brake pads. Hope they work.

a month later

I haven’t Dubman.

Hope that helps.

Dubman No mate just a Geography field trip in 84

Road racing season kicks off on Sunday with the UAE Tour. Fuck human rights!

It’s pretty much every week til the end of September from then. Living the dream

I know you Benson are roadies but there is a few Mtbers on here. I just fancy getting away for a few days in the summer.

    Dubbers. Have a look at the MTB trails in the Galloway Forests.

    We only did the family friendly ones but there are loads of hard-core ones too.

    We spoke to some proper MTB enthusiasts and they said was ace.

    Stunning part of the world too

      Thanks mate. I did look at some up in the Lake District but it’s so far away from me. Snowdonia is a lot closer.

        Dubman Nope but I’ve done many trail centres there.

        Coed y Brenin - massive trail centre with some epic rides
        Penmancho Trail
        Marin Trail
        Llandegla - but further away but awesome

          Thanks bud. They all sound decent. I was thinking of bike park Wales as well but I’d prefer something a lot more quiet if possible.

            Dubman Do they have a Bike park Wales in snowdonia as well? I know they have one down near Newport

              Hursty
              I wouldn’t know. I was just looking online yesterday for MTB mini breaks and Snowdonia popped up. I do keep hearing about BP Wales but didn’t know where it actually is.

              Good point.

              Same reason I laughed at the Mrs for suggesting IoW to be honest 🤣

                I’ve been to the IOW many times when I was a lad. Apart from the weather Scotland would be a better option although I’ve never been.
