Early morning ride 2nd October 2011
Up at 5.30 for an early morning ride to test my leg, only 4 miles but fun, started the ride from the car park on the road into harden from keighley then up to the quary by the guide pub (pity it wasn’t open that early) .
Good ride leg was fine only casualty was nik who managed to go over his handlebars.
Rides: Matthew, Nik and Antony (finally got him out) plus Bonnie the dog.
Back Break Issue.
I have a strange problem with my back break. For some reason I always have issues with breaks.
Any way when I apply a small and really do mean a small about of presure on the back break leave the leave feels hard and the pads are hard on and the back wheel locks. It does not matter how much I change the screw to adjust the reach. There is no movement in the leaver.
Has anyone got any thoughts to what the issue might be?
Amazing 1000fps MTB step down 360
Now this is just amazing. Just wish I could do something like this without it been an epic FAIL. I can never can land the simplest of jumps correctly.
That had to hurt.
The amount of times I have fallen off my bike when I should of not are far too long to list. the poor fella below is a typical me. Just glad its not me this time. Have a watch I don’t know if its funny or I should feel sorry for him. just glad its more this time…
The alternative bike club
Went for a weekend away with the alternative bike club, this is a group of men who go away twice a year for a drinking (biking) weekend. This was the march outing and was at Sedbergh, this was a very wet weekend, I only managed the Saturday ride as I fell and injured myself luckily at the end.
Anyway had a great time and video of part of the road section can be found here
