hello all,

I went mountainbiking today. Serious as far as im concerded mountainbikeing. first time since i was a kid.

here is the route. The Syfydrin Trail http://www.nantyrarian.com/cycletrails.php

it certainly was beautiful scenery only problem i was hanging on for dear life and thus could only appreciate it whilst my friend who loaned me his "rockhopper" stopped for breathers, something a brompton rider does need when changing to a bike with a luxurious....27!!!! gears!!!

any way i thought he was mad for going at such speeds but understand why people go on such routes. however i do feel touring is rather more.... sufisticated

I'd like to try the brompton nect time and get off and walk where it gets too XXXXXtreame. or just buy an airnimal rhino.

anyway the reason for this post is I was speaking to this guy about those "terriable" folding bike and he recommended this

Ibis tranny

cheers.
