As usual not too much persuasion was needed and Dave, Si, Jason and Darren were waiting at my place when I returned from the school run.

They have been very lucky the last few years and despite the fact someone seemed to have flicked the ‘winter switch’ on the whole it was a nice evening and perfect for the race. We were manning a checkpoint again and as in previous years… Continue reading »]]> http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/09/maxx-exposure-2010/feed/ 0 http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/01/january-2010-quest-ride-report/ http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/2010/01/january-2010-quest-ride-report/#comments Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:54:51 +0000 Hummerlicious http://www.southdownshosting.co.uk/smtbsite/?p=710 #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; } 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!

The weather has been so good recently, for mountainbiking it really has been one of the best summers in many years.
