Mountain Biking in West Sussex – Powered by Quest Adventure
This weekend I’ve had the new Marin Attack Trail 6.8 for company. I’ve been looking forward to riding this bike since I saw the new catalogue. I was a big fan of last year’s Attack Trail and I wondered how the new one would compare. There have been a few changes and some weight shed [...]
During the start of this batch of snowy weather I was ill and missed out on getting some snowy rides in, so I was really looking forward to the Quest ride and getting myself bogged down in some of the stuff! Although it was cold there was a good turn out down at Quest and [...]
I’d ridden various versions of the Mount Vision in the past, right back to the very original one, in more recent times as I’ve become a convert to the slack angled, long forked hardtail way of life and as such have found the Mount Vision a bit steep and nervous for the way I ride [...]
During the recent Quest Adventure demo day I was lucky enough to get a quick spin on the Marin Attack Trail. The trouble was a quick up and down spin on smooth downland trails didn’t really do the bike justice and I wanted to give it a proper go on some more challenging terrain. So [...]

OK, so there seems to be a bit of a Marin theme going on here at the moment, but hey, when you get a chance to test some bikes properly it’s rude not to. Recently I rode the Wolf Ridge and it was a lot of fun and blisteringly fast, but for me anyway I [...]
Due to the sad demise of my rear brake (always read the label on the oil bottle when you are tired!!) I was after something to ride for Bobster’s birthday ride at Leith Hill this Tuesday. Deadly had been telling me how great the Wolf Ridge demo bike was and I was keen to give [...]
