It's great to see some of the younger riders coming through the ranks, and pushing the top riders for their crowns.

Should make for an exciting World Cup this year

1/2 an hour and no replies!!!??

Reckon you should pop over to mbuk Dave! ;¬)


Did you enjoy cwm carn a few sundays back? It was a nice afternoon for a blast round the excellent little xc course.

You might be interested to hear that i've just got back from spesh HQ (morgan hill CA),and there SBCUniversity. How much to spill the beans on the new stuff? Of Partcular interest to you might be the road info.

Hey JD, i heard you were over in the states. How'd it go?

'How much to spill the beans' - i'm sure we could come to some arrangement;)

Yeah, cwmcarn was great as always. Did you take a spin on the DH course? We decided to wait until it's properly open before we do. I might have to find a bigger bike, and some bigger balls to ride the DH course though...

I decided it was also best to wait. Out of the car load it was only me up for 2 laps of cwm carn. So i didn't want to keep the others waiting even longer whilst i messed about on the d/h. Looks bloody good though. And by the time we do go the uplifts will be sorted,if they aren't already.

USA was really good. A couple of days in san francisco to do what we liked before a change of hotel to morgan hill. Then 3 long ,8to8,days with spesh. But they were good as 2 of the days the afternoons were spent riding. Riding in the lovely CA weather.(whilst cornwall was being washed away i'm told.)

To be honest they hid the 07 and 06 stuff from us,(using a bit of pure theatre to do it!).The snippets of info they gave us are probably 'out there' or about to be any way.Same as the unmarked stuff on some of the staffs bikes when we rode with them,no doubt its already known about.

"SBCUniversity"

Is that the Specialized version of McDonald's Burger University?

yeah,except they teach you the phrase,
"do you want BG gloves with that"

;¬)

Cool JD, we'll have to organise a meet up there sometime, chods + justride + bikemagic

Got any photos from the trip, just to make us more jealous

Yeah,not sure on quality though as i couldn't be bothered taking and carrying around a proper digital camera,so i used my phones camera.

Hopefull some good shots wearing chodski top outside HQ, Mike synards own spesh logo-ed mini cooper s (new style),and mini cooper(original).Took a few pictures of the golden gate bridge up close when i rode over it,and into marin county.

If any,any good i'll submit them.I am waiting to by a infra red reciever for the computer so i can download the pictures from the phone to the puter.

I could cheat and send you the pictures off one of those holiday snaps on a disc things i bought out there !
