I've come up with a theory. I think the less hair you have the faster you go......well it seems that way as Dave and Troy get stronger each ride, especially the muddy ones, ok all the rides recently.
Thetford round 2 next weekend will reveal all.

Speaking of our polished friends, did you see the clip of old Malverns action on TV burp this week, classic bike carnage location long before the easy access to good digital cameras, I've got some superb crash photos from there somewhere, will have to find them and scan them in.

Another month glides by, 600 miles on the clocks but a few too many cakes in the tank and not enough real training, especially on the weights, means could do better. At least the kit is handling all this crap, the Blur LT is a revelation, it keeps astounding me just how good this bike is, the Intense would have chewed up and spat out a set of bearings by now. I have just taken off the RP2 shock, pressed in another bottom bush (800 miles) when will that slight wear part be sorted?

This was literally a 5 min job and no great hassle with engineering stock DU bushes, the enginnering on the BLT, titanium chuncky fastners, and everything lined up spot on, superb.
Whilst the shock was off I cycled the swinger through all its travel, still fluid and lush, looks like its possible the yanks have finally discovered seals at last.
The Intense would have needed a hammer to do the same task after some winter abuse!
