Having threatened for some time to get over to Swinley, Dave and Jem managed to break ranks on Sunday under the pretence of driving their other halves to a skills day, of which more from Dave in due course. Having made the trip it would be rude not to try the trails themselves wouldn’t it?

Here’s the resulting helmet cam that Dave filmed (using a Mini DVR1) – it all looks pretty good to me and well worth us making a more concerted effort in the near future.

There’s more of our footage over on Vimeo if anyone is interested. We’re slowly building up some evidence that we ride as well as talk about bikes!

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.
