A pal's son is over with his pals and last night they were telling me that they'd hired some posh leccy MTBs to have a play. They wouldn't have a clue so I offered to show them some interesting and challenging trails.
So we all set off at about 11:00 this morning. They'd remembered to bring water, but forgot what I said about the early start to miss the midday heat. Hey ho.
The bikes did surprise me and did well. But I was surprised they weren't very good on the rocky downhill bits. But they did get up bits that a normal bike would have failed on.
They're all fitness fanatics but the terrain did take it's toll and they were properly knackered after 30 miles. My thumb did get a bit sore from pressing the starter
These leccy bikes have a long way to go to get near even a slow enduro bike.
Was a great day, topped off with afternoon beers
Very chatty bloke.
