    Bugger that for a game of soldiers.... Those guys are nuts.... and if thats you then you ARE nuts....

    Miss Vicki has lured me (against my better judgement) onto a mountain bike and thus far apart from driving me to bankruptcy its been an education... Going up hills is pretty straight forwards (at this point) but going down them can be pretty fraught..... Its amazing how they just want to GO even with both wheels no longer turning and the operator praying to the gods of road rash and small bushes for an intevention while pinning both brake levers against the bar...

    It will never catch on I tells ya....

    I was fine until they hit the improvised table tops. Fuck falling off (or into) a container.
    I don't mind bush drop-offs but some of that shit was nuts.

    Once you've done a few MTB trail rides get some lights and do them again at night, thats even more fun

    Ah, yes, the Port Hills - good for many a Sunday morning MTB ride and subsequent helicopter trip.
