Rachel Atherton raced her trail bike, as did most of the ladies at the event. There were even a few hardtails!
Klara Gunnarson happened to be over in the UK from Norway so she decided to take part in Foxhunt. She normally rides a hardtail, however, Starling had just given her a new bike. This is her first full suspension bike. She loves it.
One girl who always has a pimped up bike is Laura Griffith. She said her Orbea Rallon is the most comfortable bike she has ever ridden. From day one, she got on with it perfectly.

I love the community spirit of bike events, can't ride? lend your bike to someone who doesn't have a decent steed.

Joe var och hälsade på oss i Norge för några veckor sen och då berättade han att han sålt en cykel till någon i Sverige, det måste vara du! Hur ser din ut? Har du instagram?
Martin Bishop, a big fat Tory who farms eight million acres near Asterley in Shropshire, said: “It was all a bit haphazard. He obviously didn’t know where to put his back legs and he kept falling off.
“But he was wearing a little hat, so they obviously know about equestrian safety. I’ll tell you what, once these buggers get the hang of it, I am a dead man walking.”
Bill McKay, assistant chief constable of Shropshire Police, said: “I would advise Tories to stay indoors unless they’re very good at hiding in hedgerows or able to leave some kind of false scent.
“But if a Tory does find yourself in open countryside with a group of mounted foxes hurtling towards it, either pretend to be a tree or try digging a hole really, really quickly.”
Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: “There is no more dangerous combination in all of nature than a fox who knows how to ride a horse.
“It would be fascinating to see a group of mounted foxes up close. I wonder if they’ll be twats?”
Never thought I'd see someone drag up British politics on here!

OT: recently left tried and true dhf/dhrII combo for xr4/xr3 on one bike and agressor/forekaster on other bike and getting along well for trail stuff loose/loose over hard/hard not very steep. Anyone experience with toros ans intermediate trail tire?
Now back to the depths of below threshold comments with you.
He does seem to be going downhill recently.
