I have always had ultra light titanium railed saddles in the past and found them pretty comfortable to be honest. However while recovering from my accident I have had a lot of extra aches… Continue reading »]]> http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2012/05/charge-spoon/feed/ 0 http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2012/05/gravity-project-honey-series-round-3-%e2%80%93-froyle-quarry/ http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2012/05/gravity-project-honey-series-round-3-%e2%80%93-froyle-quarry/#comments Thu, 10 May 2012 20:21:51 +0000 Hummerlicious http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/?p=1661 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } Despite being the third round of the series this was my first race with The Gravity Project and also my first ever Downhill race.

Somehow I’d managed to rope my girlfriend… Continue reading »]]> http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2012/05/gravity-project-honey-series-round-3-%e2%80%93-froyle-quarry/feed/ 0 http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2012/05/whyte-829-review/ http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2012/05/whyte-829-review/#comments Sat, 05 May 2012 18:44:56 +0000 Hummerlicious http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/?p=1659 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } Finally I had the chance to take out the Whyte 829 again. When I first took  it out I had only just started to ride again after my accident and we didn’t really gel.
