Fair play... you must be fairly fit so!! What is Cyclocross (I've been out of it for a long time)??? I used to be mad into it (in a totally non-competitive-tooling-around-on-a-bike sort of a way). Got back into the cycling over the summer, but now that the evenings are getting shorter, I can't get out after work. Work interferes with way too many of my hobbies!! Used to have a bright red Klein Pulse Race.... my first decent bike. Full XTR set, lovely handling bike. Some scumbag stole it from a "secure" underground car park in Salthill when I was living in Galway. Definitely knew what they were looking for as there were four bikes chained to the same pillar with my chain and they only took mine. I was gutted - even more so when I wrote off my Civic two days later and had no transport at all. Have a Trek hard tail now with hydraulic brakes... nice bike, doesn't feel as nice as the Klein though. And the brakes actually work in the wet!!!! (I'm still in shock two years later) Don't suppose you could recommend any trails around Limerick, Cork or Waterford? I've broken enough bones and am quiet unfit... so something gentle with lots of downhill sections would be great!!!! |

Used to be into mountain bikes myself - got a Pro-Flex 950 at my folks house - which replaced the GT Karakoram Elite that got nicked before it. Names to remember then were Missy Giove and Jez Avery IIRC.
Oh and the best thing was Mint Sauce.. (for those that read MBUK). Must do something with that old thing - never riden it in years, expect the Trek DS-2 shocks will be seized by now, bike is full XT as well. Oh well. |
