I am just a preacher of the truth 
I'd come riding tomorrow but need to get a couple of tyres fitted to my car so waiting till payday for that! 
If the weathers good then I may ride to Rivington and up to Winter Hill. I rode to the reservoirs last week but didn't go up the pike.

Thinking of getting a Cylocross or some sort of Hybrid for commuting 32 miles a day.
Firstly, will I get burned at the stake for asking that in here
Secondly, can anyone point me toward anything else that's suitable for commuting that isn't a road bikeDon't fancy commuting on my full suss
I custom built my X with a mix of road and MTB parts. It's an awesome bike.

Highland is sort of one of my local mountains to DH at, not my favourite though.

Awesome north shore park 
Good vid, good tune. I want to ride it but I know I'd fall off most of it.

Just stacked it on a ride Was going downhill on an unfamiliar road, saw a car coming round and realised the corner coming up was tighter than i thought - hit the rear brake and my back end lost it. Thankfully there was a friendly grass verge so I've escaped with some bruising/grazes, but I'm going to need a new rear wheel as it seems to be a bit screwed.
Any recommendations for road bike wheels? Guessing I might as well get a set, my current ones are Shimano RS20s. Budget < £500

Sorry to hear that. ( One reason I hate riding on the road - I'll happily hurtle towards rocks, but not cars and concrete )

haha, yeah I'm not the most experienced cyclist so i think i panicked a bit when I didn't need to - I could have just carried on going at the same speed but there we go!
Thanks for the tip anyway, i'll go and hassle the folk on there
