Does look pretty tasty.

 

4 weeks until you get a 2016 bike! The bike industry is bonkers

Tell me about it mate! I worked at Mojo suspension for 8 years and we used to get to see next years fix stuff in Feb the year before!

Big fan of Mojo. Sent various shocks and forks to them over the years and they come back working and looking like new

Well I have had 2 good rides this week, 1st was a good ride out along Whitbarrow Scar, it's a techy climb that leads to a huge limestone playground. [ATTACH]186404[/ATTACH] I then went along the top of the scar which has lots of good decents and techy assents, I dropped down at the end into Witherslack woods and had a couple of laps of the woodland trails. 25k. Today I went out with the Mrs and little lad for a gentle ride to Stavley where the Mrs and lad went on the play park while I had a quick blast up into Kentmere and hit an awesome downhill trail in HP woods, well the woods have been clear felled leaving a very open techy decent, big boulders and ledges, made even more difficult because it's in the wet. Then on to Wilfs cafe for a well earned lunch before heading home. 30k done. I'm having the day off on Tuesday as I'm going to Whinlatter trail Center for some Forrest trails with a mate, I have also entered a big event up in Fort William in September called Tour De Ben Nevis, 68k MTB endurance race. So I need to get training!!

 

 

The endurance race sounds good. A mate of mine will most likely be there. He rides them most weekends.

Beautiful views from the Scar. Can be a tad windy at times. Only once been up Kentmere when it wasn't wet; guess that's one of the reasons they decided to build the reservoir. As to popping into Wilfs - one of their brownies will have piled on the calories. But they are, just too temping to resist. You'll enjoy Whinlatter, unless you decide to do the pass too... it's a killer!

Just had the day off to ride Whinlatter, it was good, different to what I'm used to and the berms on the north trail decent were awesome Pete!

I'm gonna have to get a dropper post on my new bike.
