I like riding my bike a Creo would enable me to ride further. Especially in Europe when a 20 mile climb can take over 2 hours. On the Creo I could enjoy 3 or 4 different mountains in one day.
Wish I was 20 mins away mate id get a season pass too can't justify £200 living in Exeter.
Will be going up week after next will give you a shout mate.
