Venturing beyond the Surrey Hills
This year, for the first time, we’re starting to look at riding beyond the confines of the Surrey Hills.
Why I haven’t been mountain biking lately
Or blogging about it either. Ahh, the inevitable barren spell of the amateur blogger! There’s been an interuption to normal service this past couple of weeks over Easter due to two things, both of which having conspired to stop me getting out riding the local trails. First off, I was struck down by a nasty virus which kept me out … Read the rest…

Matt posts some great photos of the Intense 5.5 EVP which he recently tested.
So is this fun?
On the radio at the moment are a series of ads running for Thorpe Park. The theme of all the ads is that going to Thorpe Park is the very definition of fun, and everything else isn’t. In one of the ads is the question “is cycling fun”, to which the ad gives the answer “no, it’s just exercise.”

A Mountain Biking blog with a difference

It’s a rare event when you can find someone bemoaning their current riding injury before cutting (almost) seamlessly to an explanation on why cows look so po-faced. And yes, cutting is probably the right word.

Cycleworks Demo Day 2007 photos
Today the Muddymoles made the trip over to Holmbury Hill for the annual Cycleworks Demo Day and were rewarded by a splendid Spring morning’s worth of riding fun.
