Have you ever sat down and calculated just how much your bike is really worth?
Recently one of our esteemed crew had the misfortune to have his garage cleared out...
They came armed with a few simple tools inc a big set of bolt croppers (no doubt nicked!) and left with three very expensive bicycles.

Hope XC Race Series 2010 Race 2 (27th June) Race Report
Posted by SimonB on 2010-07-17 18:18:17 UTC
News in from the latest Brownbacks Race at Lee Quarry, Bacup.

Despite competition from the world cup and the national road race championships just up the road there was a strong entry again. A new course with some "off piste" favourites and new surprises saw a few riders going straight over the handlebars comedy falling into a run on the first lap before the pace settled down.

Posted by Ian on 2010-06-30 18:43:36 UTC
| The hottest day of the year so far, and we volunteer to move tonnes of soil? That ll be the June Dalby dig day then!
Lots of new faces, some of which stopped to lend a hand mid-ride! Respect to anyone who will stop mid way around the red route to shift tonnes of soil, then set off into the midday heat. Cheers to Rob and Ian for making a big dent in the soil shifting. |

Ever since we met the Squirt lube team at the Chevin Cycles demo day where they kindly degreased our chains and cassettes and applied the first coat of Squirt lube a number of SingletrActioners have been using the chain lube. And i have to say i think we're impressed. Ok so it's been dry for a while now but even when we've had intermittent rain chains and cassettes have kept on running with an improvement in shifting. |

Urban trails - are these the future?
Posted by Mark B on 2010-06-20 09:26:56 UTC
| Some of us are lucky enough to live near great riding. Others are lucky enough to own a car and can drive to great riding. But what about those who don't have access to trails or a car? This is where rather than taking the biker to the trails, you bring the trails to the biker. |
