Worst Half Day Ever

Maximum jokes today. It has been mad week with a huge amount of effort put into getting our new engines running and aligned. So after said episode a much deserved half day approached, let's go to Calshot on the Ferry with the bikes we said. So we did. Anyway it was a massive mission, Marcin's bike kept being a tosser, the pump at the petrol station let all the air out of his tyre then after sorting the valve with tape his chain got wedged under his crank 15 minutes later. This was hassle. Also Calshot is 6 miles from the ferry and this is bloody miles on a bmx. So we got 45 minutes climb at a very reasonable £7.90 then had to sprint back for 40 mins to get the last ferry.

Like I said, jokes. Next week we'll go to the pub.. or maybe take the van. But probably we'll go to the pub.

Piste de Bicross

Well it's another year, another France roadtrip. Ever growing the 2010 trip was almost 30 strong with big players from up and down the country. It was pure jokes the whole time, even Jonny who ruined his leg on the second day kept the comedy alive. Fortunately I managed to get one photo of him before he binned it. I chilled on the riding but still got back in my groove fairly well with a good session at Montelimar as always, Carpentras was also sick with the third straight being pure flow with huge rollers pumpy jumps. I feel a spring trip coming on...

I head back to work tomorrow with some sort of comedy arrangement in the baggage department. I have my bike wheels strapped to my backpack and I'm going to carry my frame in an attempt to trick the underground and their no bicycles rule. Despite the comedown after such a super week it'll be good to go back to work, I'm looking forward to seeing the gang. Plus we'll be sailing again soon, this is what we do.

I'll leave you with the photo of Jonny. This berm is hard to air and this air is wild.
