BikeChallenge Poland

I found this vid of the race today on the Bch forum:

http://www.mtbchallenge.com/bch2006.divx

It gives a pretty good idea of what the race was like, also there is an interview with the Sunday Riders at the end. It's a big file and takes about ten mins on a fast connection:-0

I posted to say how good it was and Gzregorz phoned me to say that we are soon to receive a dvd of the race and photos. Also the new website goes live on the 5th. He was very pleased with Jane's little speech and said he may use it for next year's logo!

The Ibiza Trip

The trip to Ibiza was a success, lots of nice weather for riding.


Juanita is now beginning to invent her own rutas. We have burnt tree climb and mercedes bends.

Unfortunately Ramon twisted his ankle which curtailed the amount of running, but could still manage lots of lumpy off-road km's on the mtb.

The next ride is Bramley trailbreak on the 4th of Nov.Juanita, Marco and Ramon have signed up so far.

Above: A picture of Ramon looking more spanish than ever, soon to be seen riding flat bars and v brakes for the complete transmogrification into....eurobicihombre!!!
