Padded shirt on a mtb?
I have to admit loving mine, much to my g/f's disgust, but out on the bike?

Never been over to HW but am planning to soon.

Nice ending 😉

That's not Tim Breeze, Richard's brother is it?

EDIT Actually, forget that, he'd be in his mid forties if it was. 😳

That looks fun, will have to give Hopton another visit some time. Can the DH stuff be easily linked in with it/added on at the end?

Went a couple of weeks ago and that first section from the car park was sloppy deep mud and very slippy, did enjoy it and the red route criss crosses the black downhill runs in a few places so possible to add them in

I went not long after it opened and it was a great little route, good to have something new on the door step.

Hats off to Pearce cycles!

The grass surfaced climb was a bit of a leg burner! 🙂

That looks really nice. More like a naturally evolved trail than a purpose built trail-centre.
Good vid too, makes me want to ride there. And +1 for the crash 🙂

I've done uplifts there before. I'm in the area this weekend so hopefully will put in a quick lap of the red trail to check it out Sat morning. Nice to know that it looks fun! Reckon it might be running a bit slower and gloopier currently though?!

Nice vid but had to turn the sound off because that music does not float my boat....

Have you any tread on that rear tyre?
It doesn't seem to grip on any corner.

scott make a biking specific shirt
[img] [/img]

Water Repellant, Windproof, Abrasion Resistant. These functions are not obviously shown, but hidden. The fabric’s water repellent finish will protect you from a short unexpected shower. A partial loose windproof layer inside will stop the chill on a fast descent. If you crash, internal abrasion resistant fabric will support the garment, preventing it from getting torn and ruined too quickly.

I believe I need one of those, just to push my partner over the edge completely.
If I stop posting soon... you'll know why 😉

There was a national XC race at Hopton last weekend. It was amazing. Massive uphill followed by amazing 2.3 mile bermed downhill. Plus it was pretty much 30 degrees which helped!
