Mountain Biking

I have always liked riding my Mountain Bike, My Riding partner (No Jokes) is Woody and we tend to go off road most of the time. Over the years we have completed various rides, London to Oxford, New Forest, Thames Valley Off Road and Trailquest......

I have many stories to tell of steep decents and trying to go through a gap in the trees that the bike would fit but my shoulder would not..... Yes it did hurt........

Not much more to say but we have complete the Thames Valley Trailquest for a number of year and it is sad to say that we compete in the Senior Class Hence the name Team Old Fartz (Combined Age).....

A Trailquest is where you are given a Map and you mark on it marker points where you can collect Points......

Now the last 2 events have been traumatic for Phil and I.... On our second from last event my Pedal exploded so we retired as I was worried about coming off the bike and being impaled by a Pedal Spindle....... we only rode for 45 mins for the 2 hours and we still came 9th......... The last time out Phil's Crank kept coming lose so it was ride has fast and has hard you can for about 10 mins then stop and tighten the crank up.... We lasted the full 2 hours and still waiting to hear our results....

Sorry, not got any photo's of me in my Lycra......
