I came across this link the other day, which im sure you will agree looks quite painful, its of Gee Atherton again, but this time he isnt racing a car. http://www.winterandsummer.com/gee.mov

who do you think would win between a 20 year old on a push bike and a rally driver in a renault clio? …..
well on BBC’s Top Gear Britain’s very own Gee Atherton is goin to be racin a clio down the streets of lisbon, it could be very interesting to see who wins because for those who aren’t aware of the lisbon streets terrain well they are pretty steep lots of steps and tight corners round old biddys homes.

just come back from riding a little place called hamsterley forest up in County Durham near where my parents live. Theres quite a good little set up they got there with a few downhill tracks and a newly built four cross track. On weekends they also do uplifts for those of us who are too lazy to ride or even push back to the top of the hill. but if Downhill or 4X aint ya cuppa tea the forest also has some amazing cross country trails i remember doing when i was younger (and fitter). For anyone who is interested in checkin out the downhill at hamsterley check descend’s website; http://www.descendhamsterley.co.uk .
