Bit of fun
« on: August 13, 2004, 08:28:34 am »
For bit of fun I've put a pic of my bike in the rate my bike section of mbuk (our most popular uk cycling mag) in there on line mag,doing quite well,you don't see many Carbon K2's over here.
I have noticed that some seem to rate other's bikes very poorly maybe its the green eyed monster in them,saw some nice bikes rated very low although not the bikes for me I could appreciate the effort that had gone into them and marked them accordingly.

other than that my son and I completed our 50k non competitive tour the other week,loads of riders and a great day with great weather,must admit for a 13 yr old he did really well :),tired near the end but I think I pushed him a bit hard for the first 30k,mind you at least he stayed in the saddle unlike his dad who managed to crash not once but 3 times :-[  
maybe next year I'll try and stay upright [smiley=nod.gif]

Simon, good for you on your 50k ride. as for crashing, I never feel as though I was really mountain biking if I didn't crash at least once on a long ride like that.

as for the mbuk bike rating thing, as a fellow Oz-owner, I rated your bike a 10!!
