riding but often mountain based
Just updated my Android WordPress app, and also hopped my WordPress site up to the latest Beta, which is nice.
Now installed the Jetpack plug-in pack which should allow easy embed of video by just a pasting youtube URL, so here goes;
YAY! That works a treat, me likey lots 😀
The video is myself & WolfWaz (uDare.net) checking out the Red & Black trails at Bedgebury last summer.

Thank you muchly 😉
Bedgers was a goodun last evening, trails were decent, few puddles but nothing big, and I’m glad to report they’ve finally opened the “swoopy” section that’s been closed all year!
I wore the head cam throughout, often facing backwards with Wayne hacking thru the trails n trees behind, and we got some reasonable footage this time 🙂
No major mechanicals, though Wayne’s rear had a slow puncture which needed a few top-ups, and he suffered cronic chain-suck at one point, which took some dislodging!
Was passed by Steve & Malcolm from Wadhurst Vauxhall, on a mission by the looks of em, and had a good gas with 2 fellas towards the end, one on a 1999 Klien Attitude, just like Suzz’s but bigger, and with the original suspension forks! *shock horror*
All in all a great session though, good to get some high speed footage on some trails, just wish the light was a bit better throughout.
Will post a clips video soon.
Meeting Wayne after work for a mad bike session near home.
The question is, do we hit Bedgebury as usual or some local trails?
Bedge is always worth a punt, and is a great place to hack about, but trails maybe more interesting, if more disjointed.
I’ve packed the head cam for the ride & hope to get some cool footage tonight.
Had a good blast around Bedgebury last night, trails were good n tacky, hardly any puddles, and plenty of speedy bits 🙂
With Steve, Malcolm, Gary n Paul from the village, they ride it most weeks.
My RockShox Reba SL forks are in dire need of a service though, they’ve lost oil from one leg & aren’t damping at the moment. Big strip down, new seals & oil needed.
