Should be hitting Exmoor, Llandegla, the Lakes or Peaks, Dalby, the Dales, Cannock Chase, Coed Y Brenin and Afan in the next couple of weeks

 

[weescott]

You missed out the best part 6thElement - Scotland! But I suppose you will ride that the next day.

 

[6thElement]

Too far, 2000miles driving in 2 weeks is quite enough

May see you at Afan then!

I would just hit Scotland; it has everything a mountain biker needs and makes Wales look tame in comparison.
Glentress Blue sections are like Llandegla Black runs.

Be prepared for some super sketchy rock slab and boardwalk sections then.

I’m a rock slab and skinny boardwalk specialist now

Ended up ordering a Rockhopper SL Pro 2010 - can't wait for it!!

A bit too far from other things I need to do

Congrats, let us know what it is like since it looks the hopper design has changed a bit on the SL, and don't forget the pics

Have you been round the Chase before or are you going with someone that knows the trails?

Because if you are going to do Follow the Dog (waymarked) it's pretty small and very tame compared to say Afan & Cody.

Yeah the front join of the frame isn't welded together anymore, I take it this doesn't make it weaker?

Going with someone, a couple of laps there will be sufficient

Fort Bill red is more of a mini DH route. If you are up that way you have to try Laggan double black. 2 of the best and toughest XC routes in the UK.

Another Tampon bike ?

Seriously though, there are so many lovely bikes to choose from at the moment, why did you go for the Session?

 

[SDK^]

The Session 88 is a very decent bike, it would be my DH choice also

Light, nice ride. Dont like sundays, had too many Glorys and not too fussed on next years model. Nothing else has really caught my eye either.

 

[MrKnifey]

Im thinking custom build now as i can get a good deal on both frame and forks.
Hey guys, possibly buying a Trek Session 88 Frame, got a pair of 2010 Fox 40's lined up so just need the rest of the bike. I got a budget of around £1100 but can go a little more if definately worth it. I slapped together a spec list on chain reaction, ignore seat post sizes and chain device mounts as im not sure on specs yet? Also do Sessions come with headsets? Anyways, heres my spec, what do you guys recommend and what would you change etc?
