That wing suit lark is a bit hairy, not saying the zip wire isn't but becoming a large stain on a mountain is distinctly possible with that hobby, iirc there's been one or two top guys wiped in the last year doing stuff like that. Either would be a huge rush for me though!

... full licence, a lot will depend on how she gets on. Now that the kids are older I'm not so protective about her being a pillion with me, so next year I'll change my insurance to include pillions. That way she can come out with me and I can give her some pointers on riding to help her decide if ...

It was me and Cookiemonster who did the off road day.

I'm looking to plan a small group ride out through France in June next year so subject to what the others say I'm hoping to stop by and do another off road day with you and hopefully stop over for a night.

I'll be up for doing it again next year. I really enjoyed it.

I like Cal but agree he is not performing well in the shop window which could cost him his ride next year.

He might be lucky to get any ride next year with the way he is going.

I'll hopefully be looking at an RSV4 for the track next year..fingers crossed, I just need to find a decent post APRC version for the right money. There is cracking track bike on fleabay but too rich for me at the minute

We will have to see what Michelin come in with next year but I would suggest there may even be a reduction in lean angle until Michelin catch up with Bridgestone who are well known for excessive levels of grip and high edge grip.

Sounds like he may be heading to Pramsc next year. I think he made a big mistake leaving the factory team this year.

Fireballs over Buxton from an air bed on the garage roof.

Was very tempted to sleep there but fortunately my 8 year old had better sense.

The only difference I noticed was the sprocket wore out much much quicker, but at 600 miles a year that's never going to be a problem.

Personally I will never put an alloy sprocket on a road bike again but only because of the mileage.
