Mountain Biking in West Sussex – Powered by Quest Adventure
As some of you know an occasional one of our crowd, Steevo, lives up on the edge of Cannock Chase. While we sadly don’t see him down this way very much, the Hummerlicious family unit often goes up to Cannock to say hi and also to sample the trail lushness that is on offer up [...]
So here it is, the one I jumped the gun on….. Whyte T-120s The T-120 is Whyte’s new 120mm travel full susser. In common with some of the other bikes in the Whyte and Marin range the top tubes are now a little roomier and they run shorter stems, this brings them up to date [...]
I’ve been literally busting to tell about these new bikes for the last couple of weeks, but I’ve had to keep my lip buttoned until now! So without further delay I can finally show you some images of whyte’s 2011 line up and give you my impressions after spending a couple of hours out on [...]
When we were at the 24/12 this weekend I managed to catch up with Rory from U.S.E./Exposure lights.

Well it's been a mad week for me, I've spent three days on Aston Hill training to be a MTB skills instructor with the CTC. It was a great few days and when I got back I was desperate to get out and ride as soon as possible!! Fortunately we had a ride lined up [...]
I've been lucky enough to get my grubby little mitts on a few demo bikes after the last month or so, having had a chance to get to know them reasonably well I'll be posting a few reviews over the coming couple of weeks. First off the mark though we have the super lushness that [...]
Well despite the bad weather on Saturday, Sunday dawned and it was warm(ish) and dry. We were really looking forward to hitting the Pitch Hill trails again so Tom, Bobster, Deadly, Rich and I met up with Big Daddy in the top car park. We did some of the usual stuff: Judge's seat, double headed [...]
I’m just testing out a new service that will enable me to post to www.sussex-mtb.com, Twitter, Facebook and del.icio.us all at the same time. It means nothing to you lot of course but it will make my life a bit easier! Cheers, Jimbo. Posted via email from jimbosussexmtb’s posterous
