Boardman mountain bikes

[Scoop 0]

Well, I got myself a Boardman Team mountain bike a few months back: http://www.boardmanbikes.com/

I had been riding it to and from work quite alot and was beginning to regret my purchase. Riding it was such hard work. The gearing was all too high, the position too racey.... BUT THEN I TOOK IT INTO THE WOODS YESTERDAY (for the first time I'm ashamed to say)...

Wow, what a bike. Its so damn fast its scary as hell but its easy to throw around too being so light. Spent hours in the woods yesterday finding all the trails and was permanently grinning from ear to ear. Had a few narrow escapes where I had to bail off the run where I overcooked it and dodge some trees but what a laugh.

I'm not a hardcore mountain biker so I don't know what the opinions are on the scene but I really love it. Anyone else tried a Boardman bike? I'm thinking of getting one of the road race bikes soon too.

Not being to well up on these things, I was under the impression that Mountain biking, Green laneing or any other
enjoyable pass time had been taxed out of existence or outlawed in good old England
Pity you can't bring the bike out here, we got trails that'll put your stomach in your mouth,

That said, thats a really nice bike.

It's too hot out your way for all that nonsense. A nice English overgrown shadowy woodland is what you want .

Luckily they haven't taken the decision to tax air, YET, so mountain biking is allowed for the moment. Just have to tell the dog walkers to pick their shit up. Don't fancy face planting in dog shit.

Too hot Baa, Today it's a balmy 98C, The only shit you have to watch out from is from the wild boar.
Thinking about it those tuskers are just the right hight to nip an ankle.


edit, whoops, it's 98F not that other temp, that I don't yet understand.

There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

I'm going to be working throughout the whole boogie chasing hoodies

We'll have to get together before your going away though mate.

Well thats going to be tough since you decided to go chase hoodies my last weekend here. No worries, I'll be meeting up with the old man in Spain a few times a year and pretty sure he will be invading the West Coast for some PGing.
