Say hello to Jake

November 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment


I had a dabble with putting drop bars on my Spesh Sirrus a while back. It didn’t really work - STIs and MTB BB5s aren’t a great match. And I didn’t put enough time into getting the bars and levers right.
Anyway a Jake came up on the STW classifieds at a price I couldn’t resist. So here we have it. I reckon it’ll be perfect for the less knarly trails. Now the only questions is whether the Avid Shorty Cantis are up to the job!

Muddy, cold, slippery, fun, bright - all words that could be used to describe today’s ride. It’s tough staying in Kendal with the family - you have to get out and do at least a bit of riding!

A mini bivi adventure

August 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment


Well summer is nearly half way done (officially anyway) and it was time to put my newly bought bivi gear to work. So with my spanking new Hunka Bivi bag, Pocket Rocket stove, Titanium mug, and a load of other gear I’ve had gathering dust for years, I set off last night for Loch Ordie.
The midges were dealt with by Avon Skin-so-soft, and a good nights sleep was had. Bloody briliant - I can’t wait for the next half decent evening to do it again.
