Fucking nice.

srsly.

Fuck off both and get t3h HED Belgiums.

My present commute home involves many traffic islands and cars that would squeeze past me on these giving me around a foot of breathing space.
Have learnt from that and much enjoyment taken from moving into the center of the road to prevent fucktards driving scaffolding trucks from passing me there.

Next week, t_w is squished by fucktard driving scaffolding truck who's so busy on his mobile that he doesn't notice the cyclist playing traffic island chicken with him.

It's going to be a total fucking revelation for you.
You know that famous scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the ape throws a bone and suddenly, Bam!, interplanetary spaceship?

Yep.

For those interested in developing your offroad skills game the following videos from Richard Kelly of B1ke in the Surrey Hills are damn good:

Tidy. I'm looking forward to this too. Just hoping for reasonable weather, we've been quite spoiled lately..

Sad days, found out that the trail Recovery Kit on Leith Hill has been destroyed. Wotton Estate, who own the land, deemed it too dangerous and had the gap jump and step down removed.

We have six confirmed so far, a good number especially when it comes to getting on the train... :-)

Neither. HED Belgium FTW.

I'd perhaps like the helmet but it's too small for my exceedingly large melon. I'd suggest posting this in on Pink Bike or Singletrack World, might get more traction there.

No probs. Hope you can make it, I'm really looking forward to showing people what sort of riding is over there.

Seeing that smile on his face as he descends is totally winrar. Fucking magic.

I need a trail dog.

Thanks for putting the word about and sorry to hear that you can't make it now. Hopefully next Epping Forest ride you organise I'll be along for it. :-)

Cool. Hope you can make it.

Fully rigid and hardtail is fine. I'm on a hardtail. Riding fully rigid will just mean using more of the longest travel suspension units out there, your arms and legs...

Nice wheels. Archetypes in black always look the business.

That movie is shit hot. If you get chance to read the book, I highly recommend it; it's damn good. Different in many ways to the film, but a reading of the book contributes to understanding many unexplained elements in the film's narrative.

Nice one.

For everyone here's a halfway decent edit featuring many of the trails we'll ride. If you don't like the gap jumps seen in some portions this vid (and I'm not big on jumps either) all the trails we'll ride will have chicken runs if they have jumps and you can simply go around them. Many of the trails we will do have no gaps at all. Also, I'll warn everyone present before going down certain trails with such features and walk it if necessary first.
But if you like jumps then it's fair game for you.

Just got back from a ride on Leith Hill and Redlands, conditions are primo, if only a little bit loose and dusty on certain corners...
Riding down there this week has been absolutely fucking fantastic.

Tidy. I'd like to go down there to ride sometime. And there are still so many other places I haven't ridden...

Nice one, SteadyCam. Some of the guys I ride with used to go over to Caesar's Camp to ride when they were working at Farnborough. That's pretty close to you isn't it?

Reading...The Power Elite by C. Wright Mills and the John Carter series by Edgar Rice Buroughs.

Nice one LHL. DFP, I PMed you.

In case anyone is interested I've posted an event here for a guided offroad ride in the Surrey Hills:
