Xmas Fettling

My Xmas present this year was a bit of a double whammy.
Kirsty bought me some lovely White Industries Eno cranks from those nice people at Sideways Cycles. This meant that I had a nice pair of Race Face Turbines, and more importantly a non-wobbly bottom bracket, going spare for the Turner.
So I spent […]

Riding With Heroes and Ghosts

By a roundabout way I was invited to the John North Xmas ride tonight - Thanks Ben :-)
I haven’t seen John since he was in the pits at Karrimor 6 last year, telling me how lucky I was to have a wife that wouldn’t let me stop, so I wasn’t going to pass on a […]

Eat Stem Fat Boy

Went over to Calderdale for a ride on Sunday and spent most of the day grovelling up hills eating stem.
Considering that this was supposed to be a camera free ride at least three of the party were at the coogleplex flashing digital SLRs around. I had my handy little Fuji with me, but it struggled […]

The World Changes In Small Ways

Over summer I did a fair bit of riding with a BOB trailer.
I noticed that many of the cycling facilities in my area were too short to cope with the increased length.
So what? How many BOB trailers do you see? Fair enough, but I live just yards from a primary school and you DO see […]

Preston

A couple days ago Punkass (www.sheeparegreat.com) put some pictures of Santa Cruz up on flickr.
Inspired by this Biff put some pictures of Eastbourne on cheeky. Where Punkass had cool pics of tracks in the sand and cool skateboard dudes, Biff had old codgers wandering round an identikit town centre in the pissing rain. As irony […]

In Print

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when Singletrack Issue 25 arrived. Sim had managed to make my photos for the Three Peaks look stunning. Amazing what a talented guy can do with Photoshop, eh? (Here’s what I did with them at flickr).
But my surprise didn’t end there. I also made it into the gallery.
I still need […]

Top And Tail Rides: Tail

Over to Calderdale tonight for a spot of night riding. Wet and windy so a lot of people cried off, leaving only Me, ‘eck, and Ben.
Did I mention it was wet?
I was actually on time to the rendevous (Blazing Saddles) too. Blimey.
Ben went to the trouble of showing me some new trails. Nothing like riding […]

Top and Tail Rides: Top

Today I should be topping and tailing my day with rides in the dark.
I went out this morning at about ten past seven, just as the eastern sky was starting to get lighter, turning from black to merely deep blue. I used to experience the dawn many times when I had a 20 mile commute, […]
