Create-a-Route
The new Create-a-Route page is up and running! Check out the new service here, it allows you to freely plan out your rides on Google maps without having to be confined to the roads. You can use both the map view and the satellite view to trace around the edge of fields or through the woods.
The best it is that the total distance will be displayed so you can estimate the total length of your ride before you set out. Print the map out and keep it in your pocket just in case!
What bikes we ride
You may be wondering what bikes we all ride well here is a bit of out mountain bike history. I started off from an early age riding hard tail mountain bikes on Salisbury Plain in Wilshire, lugging up heave steal framed bikes before the invention of fount suspension! I then moved on as fast as I could to aluminum frames and one of the all time best hard tail frames a GT Zaskar LE (thats right the LE version!). This is an amazing frame as everyone who has ridden one will agree. Very responsive so excellent on a bit of single track. It was equipped with full Shimano XP and Manitou Mack 5 forks. The next move was to a Cannondale, another hard tail, it had a built in head shock. Another great aluminum hard tail frame. Finally it was back to a GT Zaskar frame this one was again built on Shimano XP but with Marzocchi forks. This was all stopped on the trails by magura hydraulic rim brakes. - Another excellent bike. Thats about it... for now!
