Crashtest dummy's Blog (6)

Mick n me are thinking of going to Thrunton Woods on Saturday morning to see what the crack is up there.Just wondered if anybody could give us some general directions for:-best place to park,start point for best trails n any spots we NEED to try n visit. All help will welcomed.We're at opposite ends of the spectrum,Mick is very fit n rides a hardtail.Whereas,i'm just gettin back to ridin after a 3 1/2 year lay off due to injury n i ride a comfy full sus.

Big thanks to Mick,Tony n BobT for joining me at Hamsterley today for some fun in the mud.I even managed to provide the comedy moment of the day by falling off my bike when it was stationary.As ever Mick managed to catch it on his camera,so expect to see the photo on here any day soon. Good luck to the NEFA massive who are taking part in the race at the weekend. Catch you all again soon.Boney. Continue

Had my first official ride out today on my new bike(courtesy of ride to work scheme at Evans). Went to Chops with Mick n Tony which was a bad idea as i quickley found out just how unfit i realy am.They didn't even break a sweat n i was in need of oxygen.That was just the ride upto Roots. But what a blast,cheers lads.Can't wait for Hamsters on Friday. Boney. Continue

Hi,can anybody shed some light on the "Ride to work scheme"? Don't realy know that much about it,but it looks like this could be the only way i'm gonna get a new ride this year.Lack of funds/recession etc. Also,can anyone comment on the new Boardman full suss?At £800 it looks like a potential ride being as i'm gonna stick to trail riding.Gotta be sensible with the back,as i'm a family man these days. Thanks in advance. Boney. Continue
