  • All for a good cause…

    In the run-up to the Megavalanche this year I’m racing to raise money for Re~Cycle.

    Re~Cycle reconditions unwanted bikes and sends them to Africa to provide cheap, sustainable transport which improves the lives of people living in some of the poorest communities.

    So far the money raised amounts to £325, but there is still a long way to go to reach our target for this worthy cause.

    Thanks for your support,

  • The BCC Mega bike test (down the allotment)

    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)
