Yes. Was not to bad of a fall for me and a nice soft landing. clipped the pedal on a sapling tree but the bike tumbled another 20-25ft down the bank, pleased to say bike was fine after just broke the front mudguard, and a cheap comfy seat I had on it, so glad it survived

Short.

I thought I’d picked a 27k route up at Sutton Bank but it turns out it was only about 15. To be honest, some of the climbs would have killed me on my old bike but I could easily have gone round again if I wasn’t so confused that I was back at the centre so quickly. I met quite a few people that were really interested in emtb’s though!

in my town the long term riders have tell-tale armfuls of these subtly fine scars.

a doctor once asked me, most concerned, if I was self-abusing.
