    Yeah, the local ride has nothing on the moors... and i thought will power was to do with weight loss and to kick the smoking haha.
    The only time will power comes into it for me is having to power up newbald rd when running... maybe i should transfer it to biking lol.
    We need matt and his photographic skills nxt time :D

    It was a good ride out yesterday people. Bit nippy to start with but soon warmed up. Made a difference not having to carry the bikes....

    Not too many pics this week.

    That is a good job! Sorry!! Amazing what a full suss bike can move! Glad it didn't damage the lapierre!

    Still trying to find someone who will lend me money to buy it! My bank will but at a silly APR! :lol:

    might sound daft,but have you tried looking on net for some bike shops that might sell them,some places are doing 36 months interest free at mo,might have to put a small deposit down,but you might be able to use youre gt as the deposit????

    just a 4ought :wink:

    Hi DanielleT, try http://uk.zopa.com/ZopaWeb/

    Very cheap rates but you kinda have to bid for the best rate?? Not used it myself but some mates have?

    Could be worth reading the small print too, but my mates have got loans at very good rates.

    I would have but I'm in the Lakes for the weekend. I was going to go out today but the weather has taken a turn for the worse.... :cry:

    I bet it was a good day up on the Moors yesterday, pretty dry and hardly any wind around Hull. What was it like up there?

    bet that was cheap! hope it's an 09 model I find 2010 model paint job a bit OTT for my tastes, saying that it doesn't affect the bikes performance.

    Great choice there. Having to wait till Treks 2010 range come 30th November for my Trek remedy. There last remedy 9 at a size 17" was too small :cry: ah well.

    Hope the new bike serves you well.

    Hi there, do you already have a Trek ? Ive just got the fuel ex8 2010, amazing bike ! the guy at Ken Ellerkers swears by the current Remedy, he did the megaavalanche with his earlier this year.

    Shame, I'm not too keen on the 2010 Remedy too busy paint jobs like the lappys and lot more expensive over the 09, I still think the 08 R8 still hast the best paint job.

    Hey Mike, no havnt got a trek currently, using a giant at the mo. I was in two minds of getting a lapierre or trek but I agree with Barkey that both company's 2010 range have overkill graphics, but is'nt it going to get harder finding an 09 model lapierre, I cannot find an 09 remedy any more in my size.

    They've got a few 09 lapierres left at we love mountains, depends which one you're after really. They had the spicy 516 in a mens small, not sure about any larger sizes.
