End of Spring MTB Ride - Chiltern Hills

It's been a long time coming, but Dan Black and myself got out for an excellent ride today in the Chiltern Hills. Makes a nice change riding bridleways again rather than trail centres (good though they are, reckon you get to see more by doing this type of ride). Definitely recommend this route if...

Kent Snowboarding Day 4

At this rate, I'm gonna end up doing more days in Kent than I did in the whole of my last season in NZ!! So there we were again, more fresh and time to get back out there. Chris had managed to find two of those 80s classic sledges - now they don't make them like that any more - unbreakable and...

Kent Snowboarding Day 3

London Freeze

Ah, the days of Board-X, remember them? Freezing our asses off up at Alexandra Palace, then there might have been a (lame) one down at Battersea Park. Well that's all in the past cos I see you now have the London Freeze to get yourselves to. No need to tell you all about it as I'm sure their...

Dorking Ride in Autumn

Me @ Dorking Originally uploaded by le_sloth . It was a few weeks ago now, but just found the couple of photos I took on a ride down in Dorking the day before I flew back. Figured it all out and borrowed all my kit + bike off Guy - he had his old Intense back for a bit so rode that for the day. With...

First up was Bob, thinking that Mr King had taken her away for a romantic weekend in the Cotswolds. There they were sitting the Ebrington Arms pub garden, when in walk us...
