I decided to ride off road again because we have so many demo bikes available. Got to ride them while we’ve got them. They are not for the exclusive use of us at Quest Adventure but for anyone that wants to look beyond their current steed. I had to try the Scott Scale 29er Pro…

Can technical be too technical?
We, the shop boys and a few others, went out for our annual ride on Tuesday evening. Off to Stanmer Park to ride some of those magnificent & technical trails. The last night ride that I had done was in the very same Park on a balmy (dry) evening in June. Boy was this different….
Has Spring sprung?
On the road again. We had a road ride today. My first since the 5th December. I did a turbo session over Christmas and have been mountainbiking but really most of my riding has been commuting on the Beast. Let’s face it December was a pretty crappy month. What a joy to be riding in…
Don’t wind up your riding buddies
I need to think carefully how I write up today’s ride as there are dire consequences for getting it wrong. Last week I had what seemed like the easiest ride in recent memory. I put this down to the bike, the Scott 29er Pro, with its very light weight and the bigger wheels it made…
Big wheel revolution
No problems deciding what I was going to ride today. We have a Scott Scale 29er Pro demo that has to be ridden. I’ve already swapped my 26″ commuter for a 700c and love the smooth ride so maybe the offroad change would be the same. The ride started in the dark, a miserable winter…
Hidden miles
If you’ve read any of these posts you’ll know that I have a new bike and that I commute. The commuting miles are the hidden miles, they go unrecorded, unnoticed. Last night I watched Chasing Legends so had to ride this morning. I couldn’t not ride after watching those Heroes. Despite having new road shoes…
The days are getting longer……. and bikes bigger
Oh Joy of Joys, I woke this morning in the pitch black knowing that summer is on the way. We have started to see the nights getting shorter. Always look on the bright side of life. Whilst my foot still hurts I have found that riding is not just possible but easy. I was out…
Social riding is fun
All my life riding has been about going fast. I really enjoy my rides but there is always a serious element. This week, like last, it was going to be an easy cruise. It was so relaxing, it was fun, it was social. We had a good chin wag and stopping for a pee or…
Coldest ride that I can remember
It was showing minus 4 when I left. I was layered up, had a Buff sealing neck, ears and head with just my cheeks and nose exposed and my Northwave Celsius boots. It was going to be a cold one so I packed some old ski gloves and a spare fleece. We met at 7:30…
Fantastic freeze
I couldn’t wait to get out this morning. There was no way I was going to miss out on a frozen ride. If you’ve ridden in these conditions or read my blogs over the years you’ll know that there is something special about freezing rides. Perfect traction, up or down, better than the summer and…
