    tell me about the weather its been really annoying!!

    I saw the forecast for monday just gone and south wales was dry and sunny, and good old brum was overcast and rain, so i thought right off to afan, weather was superb all the way there, cardif was amazingly good weather afan a mere 30 mile ish from cardif and it pished it down, we got there had some lunch and watched the rain come down, and not light heavy rain showers pouring down!!

    When the rain eased, we raced the first section of the wall, and then the heavens opened, me and the misus sheltered under the main bridge for an hour then gave up and headed back to the car, got soaked, popped the bikes on the roof and then came home.

    Guess what the weather in cardif was still amazingly sunny, was so annoyed a wasted day!!

    otherwise i'd be truly beside myself. :(

    he-he As soon as its respectably muddy and it gets the Pikes (has recons off the GT at the mo while i sell the Foxes)

    yeah warranty hopefully, but they don't make the superlight hydroformed kenesis Avalanche frame anymore, so its gonna be Zasker team frame, which is nice, but i'm not sure i'm a zasker kind of guy...but i'll give it a shot. :)

    I'm off to the lakes on Tuesday for the first time. Starting in Staveley (sp?). Not tried the Zaskar but it looks nice. I'm sure the geometry can't be that different....

    longer and lower at the front, racier i think... i'll have to put the forks down to 100mm as well :|

    there's some ace trails SW of ambleside, and Grizedales ok, 2nd half is quite good in fact

    yeah i never ot to do that climb on my avalanche which was a great climbing machine, and it wasn't doable (for me) on a 4500 with judys...

    I hope they add to it, when i was there last years still loads of fire road, it has really potential...

    Weather is crazy at the moment. Was up at Fort William Wednesday - Friday, lovely weather 20 degree sunshine, no rain. Come back down to Edinburgh, greeted by non-stop rain since i've got home. Oh well, time to look out the waterproofs again.
