What Steve Peat does on the off season!
Was just looking at a friends photo's from the weekend on facebook.
He'd been to watch 'The Scott Trial'. Without doubt the hardest one day motorbike trial on the planet which is held every year in my local area of Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales.
i couldn't believe when i saw the Steve Peat was in it! Go on my son!!!!!!!!!!
Riding Buddies for regular rides
Hi, I am looking for someone or small group to ride with on a regular basis.
By way of background I ride mainly socially and regularly ride Duck Hole/Centre Track/Perimeter Trail. I am in the fifty age group and ride for the exercise and enjoyment and meeting new people. My fitness level is average to above average, I ride a Giant Trance XC 3. I also enjoy the night rides.
I am not a fast rider, slow up hills but can handle the flat and downhill sections fairly quick.
Looking forward to receiving some repliesif yuo think I can be accommodated.
Cheers,
Cliff W

Motorbike riders not all good!
Went for a ride last Sunday at Menai just like every other Sunday. As we got to the bottom of the down hill section we crossed 3 motor bike riders, stopped and seemed friendly enough. Before they took off one asked "if we go through here you reckon we'd ruin your pushy track?" we replied saying yes, you most definately will. They then took off and whilst riding up the hill spun their back wheels up the hill anyway, one tried riding over one of the jumps and got his back wheel caught ripping the track up even more as he wasnt going anywhere.
Sam Hill set to demolish the course at Newtons Nation
World Champ Sam Hill has been confirmed to compete in the 2060 Downhill MTB competition at Newton’s Nation! Reigning from WA, Sam claimed the elusive title in his second race back from major shoulder surgery, proving he cannot be stopped. Sam has taken some time off the bike to get healed and prepare for his best effort yet at Newton’s Nation.

Ride tonight Thursday 23/9
Sorry if this is in the wrong section Rob, but just wondering if anyone is riding tonight. Terry Hills, Manly dam etc...
I'm keen to head out and it's much better riding with someone, instead of on your own.
Cheers
