This is one of the best MTB events around – and it’s by far the most local. And it will soon be upon us! Please sort out if  you’re doing it solo, or as a pair, or whatever . It’d be great to have another big showing from the BCC. For all those ‘weather’ watchers, [...]

Law of Diminishing Returns

Law of Diminishing Returns

The Law of Diminishing Returns. It’s a theory. It states that the more you have of something, the less you enjoy it. If you have one Mars Bar, you enjoy it. If you have 20 Mars Bars, you don’t enjoy the twentieth. Which is why it’s so important to ride bikes when conditions are so good. [...]

TML was advertised as being suitable for any bike, but we didn’t expect everyone to take it so seriously, seeing everything from fully rigid 29ers to full downhill bikes (Jamie!). The largely singletrack course was designed with technical options and with the hope that tactics and line choice would help determine the winner – we [...]

No… before any of you Stoners (you know who you are) get the wrong idea, this is simply another inter-club ride with those excellent fellas from the Bigfoot MBC. We had such a good day on the Quantocks last time that Jase recently suggested it’d be good to revisit together. So, here’s a heads-up well [...]
