    Yep, that's the one. And if you're wondering who I am bails87, other than my bike and the massive Nazi cake (which after all, are fairly common things), you'll be able to recognize me because I'll be wearing one of these.

    It's not great for peripheral vision on the trail, and it chafes a bit, but other than that, it's pretty comfy.

    I'll bring my shock pump then?

    I'm one of them but I'm not claiming it as a HOMBRES ride though!

    I'll have my shock pump with me anyway, so don't worry about it.

    Always carry my shock pump in my trail pack with the hand pump... just incase... i'm not sure what for, but I do :lol:

    Still getting used to these air forks, not sure if I trust them to hold air yet, I check them like every day haha!

    I'm not sure he spotted this thread. It's ok though, I bring enough awesomeness to the thread for us both.

    He's been about, I've had a few PMs back and forth sorting stuff out.

    I really should get to bed now, I'm up at 05:30. Can't sleep though.

    Sweet ride around the Chase today :)

    Cheers Bails for showing me around, hope you didn't get to bored waiting around for me on the climbs (told you you would though!) hehe!!

    Loving the trails up there, has got pretty much everything!

    Flat + twisty, steep + fast + technical, and biatches of climbs!

    Great day, shame we missed CWNT + Mule by like 10-20 mins - we had waited over an hour though!!

    Have got some great videos of bits of the trails so i'll get them edited and posted up tomorrow :D

    Cheers, it was a good ride, even if it was just the two of us! I was disappointed not to get the chance to enjoy Mrs CWNT's cakes though!

    I'm annoyed by how much quality Youtube has stolen, so it's going on Vimeo as we speak, hopefully that'll be better.

    I don't remember you saying about the knee, sounds nasty though.
