Anyone else on here enjoy a good bike ride? Ive not been out properly on my bike for a couple of years, went on a ride yesterday. Id forgotten how good it is to find a good trail and conquer it. Planning more rides now for sure

[- Danny Boy -]

Yeah I do. Only problem is, down where I live there isnt many good places to go, im sure if i took my bike further out - in my car or something, id find some good places to go and ride.

i used to ride often but havant for a few years

do want to get a new bike though

[Ratspeed]

I bought myself a CB stoneriver last year to ease myself back into it. Loads of really good trails round here to go on.

[bakewell001]

You need to show me some of these awesome trails you were going on about Henry... Will save me riding along the prom as discussed!

[Smo]

Oi, don't you dare leave me out of this ride.

[Big Walker]

I'm well into my cycling these days.

Currently smashing in the road miles (almost hit 1000 now!) wouldnt mind trying the offroad stuff!

[Smo]

This is what I'm riding:



A Scott Summit from something like 1995! I've had it about 9 years now and has always been a great bike to ride... It's pretty light, even by some of today's standards, and I hate to think how many thousands of miles I've done on it! It didn't get used properly for about 4 or 5 years, but recently I've spent a bit of money on second hand bits getting it going again. It's mostly STX/STX RC stuff, but the old 7 speed kit is getting on a bit, so I'm trying to decide between going 9 speed or attempting to find some new old stock and keep it 7 speed Oh, and I love the handlebars - I've never found another set of handlebars that have felt so natural to ride with, but unfortunately I can't get the grips anymore, so straight foam has to do

And just another photo from tonight:



Mine and bakewell001's super cool bikes on the coast of Minnis Bay in Kent

[bakewell001]

Here's a closeup of my bike from the above ride. It's a mishmash of a downhill frame, with super high saddle and silly road tyres...
I do have another set of chunky tyres for doing non Coastal trail riding



I can confirm it has some changeable gears (although not enough and not all of the time) , and brakes that work better than Simons

[hb69]

When are you bumders putting proper tyres on and coming down for a non prom ride?

[Smo]

I have another bike I can use for that, but when are you going to come and do some proper miles?

[hb69]

If its miles down the prom, then never

[Smo]

Because you know you wouldn't handle it

[Minstral]

we do road biking


between each trail


i dont mind either just need to get some raod tyres ideally

[bakewell001]

If its miles down the prom, then never

It's too much effort for Henry, compared to falling down hills and fighting with bushes in the face...

[hb69]

If everythings still under control your not trying hard enough. Has to be a few incidents with bushes when im out

[Smo]

I'm trying so hard to resist posting the photo

[Dave_B]

Post it!!!!

[SimonT]

My current bike:



The tyres cost a fudgekin fortune!

[Smo]

What tyres are they?

And what's the bike like weight-wise? Every Giant I've lifted seems to weigh a ton, but that looks like it should be quite light!

[Smo]

Post it!!!!

If you so wish!

Bush-lover Henry:

[Minstral]

wtf
and the hair

[hb69]

Helmet hair. It's the rage here

[~nomad~]

Defo right that if you stay on then you aint trying. S1 and me come off reguarly, hence my broken wrist last year, and various other damage

[Philie*RST]

couple of my old pride and joy before it was Stolen

just after i built it



removed the mud gaurds as thought they looked poo lol
