Mountain Biking
It's July again, which means spending a weekend in South Devon battling the elements at this year's Pivot TwentyFour 12.
The Pivot TwentyFour 12 is my absolute favourite MTB event. This year's event was wet and muddy, but still a great weekend.
We've been in the market for a new light just recently. Kate has been looking for something fairly compact to fit her mountain bike for general use.
It was nothing really. I was riding up a gentle trail in Scotland and, 'twang', my seat suddenly sank 6 inches.
Giving my bike a quick once over and clean, and it looks like I'm going to be needing a new chain in the very near future.
It's no secret that I'm a fan of the various ranges of Weldtite cleaning and maintenance products, but the Pitstop Cleaning Kit was part of the range I'd never had...
It barely seems like a month ago that I rode in the first round of the Off Camber XC MTB race series, but true enough round 2 had arrived.
Well, I managed to make it through to October, but the time has come to put my winter tyres on.
In addition to running weekly rides and gatherings, my local mountain bike club, The Dorset Rough Riders, hold a couple of larger events each year.
