This week end presented me with a dilemma. My Cento Uno was finally up and running (thanks Paul) and I had a set of Fulcrum Red Wind 50mm carbon wheels screaming at me to be tested. Also there was a race on at Goodwood but my worry was that it might not be a “proper” race and…

Racing in the sunshine and riding the Scott Foil and the Scott Scale 29er Expert
The sunshine has arrived and I’ve enjoyed two races wearing only shorts and jersey – no cold weather gear – at last! As well as the clothing it’s been a good week for Scott. I used the Foil Team Issue racing at Goodwood on Tuesday and our demo Scale 29er Expert today at Wasing for the Southern Championship XC…
Will’s Race Report from Dalby
It’s not all about my rides, here’s Will’s race report from Dalby: Round two of the national points series was held at Dalby forest. This was one I was really looking forward to due to its reputation of being a very technical and hilly course. It was more or less the UCI World Cup course. As usual…
How to have fun in the rain, Endura Pakajak review
What a great ride? Yesterday, with my nose running all day and my leg still tender I checked the weather, texted everyone and decided that riding would be off today. This was the first time that I had my choice of all of our demo 29ers (Whyte 829, Scott Spark 29er andScot Scale 29er) I really wanted…
Making the most of the conditions
There is usually plenty to write about and plenty of miles to record, however, there’s not much “proper” riding going on. Last week I knew that I couldn’t ride on the Sunday so rode as much as I could in short sharp bursts which was not good as I am injured. A couple of Sundays…
Way out of my league
Fourteen weeks ago I decided to make an effort to get fit. I’m not there yet but I am doing OK, or at least I thought that I was until this morning. Last Sunday I felt that the ride was hard and quick and that it was in part down to me. Tuesday I set…
Not just for posers – Niner Air 9 Carbon SS review
I spoke to Niner and asked if they could give me another couple of days with their gorgeous bikes as I wanted to try one. I particularly wanted to try the Air 9 Carbon. Now I’ve already ridden one, see my review here, but this demo version was special. First it was in Quest…
Life without Strava
I rode yesterday and today without my GPS. Now that might not sound like a big deal but life has begun to change. I am used to having a speedo when on my road bike but yesterday’s ride was just a pre work whizz over the hill so it didn’t really matter. I don’t (should…
Southern XC Round 1, Checkendon: 5th place Junior
Here’s Will’s race report. “The week leading up to the race had been fantastic weather, all the trails where bound to be fast, dusty and grippy, that was until Saturday, when after a week of great weather it decided to rain – the day before the race. Thankfully the weather was better on the Sunday,…
Scott Spark 29er Expert review and learning ride offroad again
I’ve been riding on the road for the month or so in an attempt to get back some fitness and strength but today I was riding with my other brother on The Chart near Oxted. It was all tight and twisty single track, some country lanes and fairy tale houses. He told me that there…
