Saw Hattie racing at the ants, which she won. Looked smooth. Think I’ve got a video of her somewhere.

Rode several things today but Bodmin Beast/Best Bodvena at Cardinham deserves a mention. It’s exactly what a blue trail should be. So much fun. Can all be rolled but if you give it some beans it’s still awesome fun.

Also if you are down that way then Old Hill Bike Park is a lot of jumpy fun. Really laid back, friendly vibe to the place and proper progression for all your jumping requirements.

Cool. We’re heading to Cornwall for a week in September. I’ll add those to the list of places to visit with a bike.

Don't know where the bombshells came from. I meant bombholes of course.

I saw something on YouTube about Neff and her physiology and her ability to manage lactic acid buildup, it was extraordinary. Can't find it now but will post link. The testing regime was Jason Bourne like lol

Interestingly they looked as though they were measuring lactic acid during her peak power test but never mentioned it. What a phenomenal athlete…

Sorry Dave for the delay in responding, haven't been able to look at that but it rings the proverbial.

How did the Newnham 24 go G or Steppie?

Just mid blog

Very painful Dai - age and an aging body sucks.

There will be changes and I have entered Kielder

Is that the February one, Gobi?

Event seemed to go fine. Usually whinges from the general public but no one died. I’m about as knackered as if I’d ridden it I think.

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
