Just in case anyone is interested, mbr has got an interesting article on entry level bikes, and which areas to concentrate on when buying.
It also has a fairly decent route around Church Stretton and the Long Mynd... amongst other. |

In case anyone's the remotest bit interested:
I'm selling my bike... 
Rocky Mountain Switch S1 Freeride bike - info here It's 6 months old and has seen about 30 days of action - I used to work in a bike shop, so it's been very well looked after. 18" frame, which is a medium - I'm 5'10", 170lbs and 32" inside leg.
7" front suspension from Marzocchi Drop-Off Triple Clamps and 6" at the rear - awesome handling bike!! Hand-built frame from Easton RAD tubing, so it's about as tough as a bike can be. It's got dual front chainrings, so you can pedal up hills and I've added an MRP chain-tensioner and bash guard to keep it all in check on the descents.
It's a beautiful bike and I LOVE riding it, but snowy seasons call, so I've gotta let her go.... *sniff*
Looking for £1400 or best offer - will be posting on ebay in near future, but PM if you're interested and I'll get some photos sorted. |

oh yes - amazing. Read all about it here.
Nant-Y-Arian, as that bloke recommended when we were perched on the trail above ToyTown, was absolute genius. |

Great Weekend in Mid Wales - staying here REDITREKS and thanks to Sloth for the organisation, once again superb (top marks), Despite a shorter than usual ride on the saturday, the ride still had enough incidents for it to go down in history as probably the most "technically" or should that be mechanically challenging ride know to man.... 
Great stuff, how was the ride on sunday?!
You'll be glad to know that my arm is healing up quite nicely, despite the blood staining just about every item of clothing i was planning to wear for the wedding reception, and what a wedding reception - The Cheese platter was incredible, sloth you'd have been in your element (or elemental) i visited it on no less than 3 separate occasions to replenish my plate!!the jazz band rocked and to top it all off there was a fight at the end of the night between the bride and her uncles' bird involving the bridesmaids, mother of bride and just about half of the guests, super!!
Hoping to mount the cheval this weekend for a trip into Dalby again!  |
