I've ridden recreationally at Swinley Forest a couple of times with the iBikeRide crew. There's some fantastic and challenging riding to be found there, and it's now become my favourite place to ride around London.

Headed down to Swinley on Sunday with Gareth (i4_uk) and met up with Tom (Tomallan) some of his mates (the two Dave's and Travis) from the friendly EppingHardCru folks..


Today was a great day:). First real taste of desert riding! I rode a Mongoose with a shorter stem than my stumpjumper and I preferred it as it gave more cornering control. It actually a cool bike that is loads of fun. I might do a seperate write up on it.

Also spoke to Paul who is sponsored by the course owners and has been doing what maintenance he could do over the last year and I am looking forward to going to the meeting tonight with the Forestry commission and Buckinghma bikes (new owners). Seems a lot of

So 3 months back the docs told me that the break in my arm (the radius) was bad. After they Xray'd they told me that the break was so bad that I would lose 40% of wrist movement and that I would never be able to mtb ride again as I would have no thrust movement to lift my front wheel. They shoved in a big nasty Titanium plate and I left determined to challenge this.

Last night I went for a gentle ride through the filed of Harlow. Nothing
