    Good luck, have fun on the trails.

    Dirt is not the enemy. Clothes dry. The bike can be cleaned. Parts can be re-lubed.

    You never know... You could be eyeing up a fs bike in the summer.

    Cheers fella

    As for a FS been down that route before witha customised rig, cannot believe how well made the carbon frame is made for an xc mtb!

    Cannot wait to get out on it a bit more!

    Glad to see you've come over to the dark side, hope to see you on the trails. I live in Culcheth and unfortunately there's nothing around here to get your teeth into. Fortunately it's not too bad if you're prepared to drive for an hour or so

    Not on strava, can you plonk it on Bikely perhaps? Not able to afford GPS, Mrs grl thinks I have enough cycling gear, not sure how she can reach that conclusion.......

    Kev - Have you tried Llandegla, near Wrexham, yet? It's a great place for MTBers and not far from you.
