Rides
Washed out trails
If it’s summer it must be time for six weeks of monsoon conditions and with it rutted trails, slippery roots and over grown trails. Here’s looking forward to a good old British winter to redress the balance.
A trip round Leith And Holmbury Hills
The moles head off to Leith Hill and Holmbury Hill with warm sun on their backs for the first time in weeks. Good fun!
Mountain Biking – there’s always an alternative
On taking the pragmatic approach and how a night ride on Surrey trails can turn into a night ride on Surrey roads.
Whatever the weather
In which Matt bemoans a wet month of riding and corrupts a line of poetry.
Bedgebury, three thoughts from an MTB rider in Kent
Whilst I stood with Matt, sheltering from the rain outside the refreshment area, looking out onto a calm but pock marked lake where only ducks feared to venture and Swifts swooped low, two observations came to mind.
Bedgebury Forest return
A return to Bedgebury Forest in Kent for some more MTB fun, this time in torrential rain.
Girls and Mountain Biking
(Work safe) After a hard ride Mark and Matt seem to have found skin tight, lycra clad cycling Nirvana
Singlespeeding
Last week’s night ride was a less relentless pace to the previous week. With the gears on my Inbred continuing to play up, preventing me selecting the granny ring, I started to toy with an idea I alluded to in my 11 things for Mountain Bikers post.
Bouncing bike lights
I appear to suffer much misfortune when it comes to bike lights, particularly my rear light.
I made my bike meow
Last night’s mid week night ride took us over toward Ranmore and the White Downs at a furious pace.
Down to earth with a bump
As I am the only Mole who didn’t get a name check in Matt’s post about our outing to Holmbury Hill, (probably due to the fact I made it the whole way round without falling off or breaking my Mountain Bike), I thought I might post a few words about last night’s ride.
One bike and two men down!
Sunday saw us travelling over to Holmbury Hill for some fun on the dusty dry trails that have suddenly appeared everywhere. The plan was to make the most of Dave and Jem’s new Orange Fives and have a morning of Mountain Biking fun in the Surrey Hills singletrack.
