Well the last one was more like a twisted (shaky and muddy) episode of big brother so I made this…

…it’s a little more digestible and you won’t need more than one cup of tea to watch it!

This year we’re taking 2 test bikes to the mega courtesy of Max Bikes PR. It’s gonna be ace!

The Marin Quake XLT 180 7.9 and the Transition Blindside with their long travel, considerable seatpost extension, single crown forks and double ring + bash set-up are aimed squarely at those doing the Mega or any other all day alpine riding.
So, anyway, before throwing ourselves down any massive mountains we thought we’d take them down the Allotment for a thrash about and some pics… (click ‘em to make ‘em bigger)

Full photo set (and some context) to follow…

As you may have seen we’re in MBUK this month!
The pics were taken a few years ago now, when Gee Atherton (riding for muddyfox!!!) cleared the “Smith Gap” landing on the never before (or since) attempted second landing.
Things have certainly moved on since then, with more trails being built by the hardworking BCC Dig Day crew and loads of mini races, events and activities being offered by the Collective and its members.
If you want to get involved, or ask some questions please email andrew.denham@blackcanoncollective.co.uk
The whole Allotment is licensed to the club by the Longleat Estate so you do have to be a member to ride there (and carry a valid BCC Membership Card). Riding the Allotment without a Membership Card will cause big problems as we stand to lose all the hard work we’ve put in to build this great local riding spot, so please join up if you like what you see.  You can join by reading our membership page here and following the instructions….
Cheers!

ok, ok…so not the CLUB but our members! Neil Cousins, head Technician at TFTuned, gets interviewed in this months MBUK. Lush! (p.s. I’ve always thought he had a small wig myself…)

Chris Smith talks about the BCC organised (and part funded) CTC Trail Leader Training he took part in, in this months MBUK!
