well i can recommend a trip to coed-y-brenin and penmachno, some ace trails there. the 'beast' at coedy is up there with some of the trails i rode in the alps.
here is a vid of a bit of the trail at penmachno (not me riding i found it on the web)
http://www.mtbbritain.co.uk/images/penmachno_straight.wmvi would recommend a bouncy bike though as a hardtail is going to get knackering after a while, the descending is worth all the climbing, you don't get hills like that round here!

Hammo God knows?
The video of penmachno was pretty good, it looked reasonably fast...
Different from Epping forest this sunday. Still, at least i was out and getting muddy.
How did the Trance do?Chris
really liking the trance, climbs well with the propedal and seems to deal with the rough stuff well, been using all the travel but it doesn't really feel like it's bottoming out, still getting used to the speed the corners come at you compared to a hardtail. it's active under braking which is quite handy :-)
a bit sketchy in the air as i'm trying to pump it like a hardtail and it's just kicking the back up so i need to work on that.
no complaints though i know it's not a bling bike like a turner or ventana but i'm really pleased with it. -

I still prefer my friends older trance to my burner.There are some bargains to be had for sure on STW, i got my turner from there though i think it will probably go back soon. Not feeling it and need some cash. Oh well.
Glad you had a good weekend, i'm hoping to go to wales soon with a van full of bikes. -
Scot do you have some afliliation with BMW. I ask becasue you have three of their bikes and they have a picture of your gangstar on their website. I remember you saying something but can't remember.

That's amazing. I've just removed my piercings, had duplicates of yours pierced instead. I've shaved my head and I'm booked in to see your tattooists for replicas of your tattoos ;]

provenrad Oi Emilie - are you gonna bring the tank out to play?
Yes. It's been a little annoying with the perpetual busy and no clue if I'll even be in the same place as my bike.
I'm pretty much free from the week after the brighton ride. Planning a trip to epping forest and cwn cairns in the following two weekends - unless I get any offers of better places to ride?!? -
I have all my bits now, just need to find a few evnings to put it all together.
How is the sunday frame going Object?

That's what I was thinking too - we think they're mental and they probably think the same about us. There was one guy in a pink shrt who seemed to spend most of his time running away from a grinning man who looked like a potato.
I came home and had a hot bath while drinking a cold bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale, what a great Saturday.
