 Well just recently bought bike number 4 courtesy of ride to work scheme , any money I can keep out of that scot b***ard browns hands the better. Did not need another road bike so bought a mountain bike natch paid a shed load more than was covered by ride to work but hey ho that bike addiction for you. now I have done a coulple of days at gorrick and blow me down if I dont just love it . So here is my question to all you xperts where else is worth a visit within an hour of London is there anywhere comparable with Gorrick ? Going to the Afan forest next month pretty stoked about that any advice for you veterans?

 Get out and ride. Crashing isn't as bad as you first thought. Mud in your eyes is always painful and always happens just as you've dropped into a technical bit of single track. Tyres are tyres just buy a pair and ride them. 29inch wheels are and always will be utterly stupid.

 Chill yer beans Billy! I think Mark's issues are with Gordon, not Scots in general. Did someone spill your pint?
|
 |
 I really don't know what Billy Kelly wants to do with his big manly scottish hands on some soft english prick.
This is a bike place not a gay bar

 You're a sensible man Mark. Watching the roadies do the mountain stages on the Tour de France is about as far was I'm prepared to go with road bikes LOL. Do be careful though and try not to fall of at Afan - I'm makes yer shoulder hurt!

 Yeah, that's right, XC, call him 'Scotch' rather than Scots - guaranteed wind up for the Jocks, that.
