Some of our more regular readers will have noticed the new site design appearing over the past few days. There’s a handful of minor issues to address but we’re basically done.

Our main aims have been to emphasise that we have more than one author contributing to the site, so we now have the author’s photo next to each post and a link to their profile.

Another aim has been to encourage readers to comment on and respond to our writing. We’ve put links at the top of each post to the comment form and if you link to a post from your own blog the reference will appear directly below the article under a heading of ‘Further reading’.

Our comment system has been a bit patchy for a while but with our redesign we think we’ve sorted that out – you can now see all previous comments on a post when you preview your own comment, so that’s good.

Links to other websites that we enjoy are now available in the footer at the bottom of the page. If you want to include your own website, drop us an email.

Hope you like the refresh.

And please, comment away!

About the author

Matt is one of the founding Molefathers of the Muddymoles, and is the designer and main administrator of the website.

Having ridden a 2007 Orange Five for many years then a 2016 YT Industries Jeffsy 29er, he now rocks a Bird Aether 9 and a Pace RC-627.

An early On-One Inbred still lurks in the back of the stable as a reminder of how things have moved on. You can even find him on road bikes - currently a 2019 Cannondale Topstone 105 SE, a much-used 2011 Specialized Secteur and very niche belt drive Trek District 1.

If you've ever wondered how we got into mountain biking and how the MuddyMoles started, well wonder no more.
