Took the EMTB out for a Muddy@rse MTB club late Jan ride (got postponed due to horrendous weather). It was a very windy and slippery South Downs the Epocalypse seriously needs a new rear tyre as the Michelin E-Wild is very tired with some very round and worn centre line nobbles. Thinking about trying one of the new Albert Radials.

Re: 2025 Bikes, rides and pictures.
Well I've not got much in the way of pictures (my wife took this one walking up the hill at Bpw), but today was my first day on the mtb after having a moderate sized stroke early December. I'm early 50s, fit as fuck but frankly was somewhat apprehensive about today as I would be gutted if I couldn't manage like I used to. But no need to worry I did continuous runs from 09.30 to 15.15 riding reds and black with no issues, I was truly knackered by 3pm but really chuffed I can still cope! Good job as I've already booked 2 weeks in Chatel in the summer..

Forest smash out till my coordination went and then some open Downland descents and climbs till the battery was flashing red.

No pictures but did a quick loop on the Privateer - I forgot how much I prefer manual bikes and how much I like the Privateer!

Re: 2025 Bikes, rides and pictures.
Amen brother Moofo. I was out with @crust today and you could see the difference in how my Fuel rides compared to his Rail. As I was on his last weekend I could see the difference in *pop"* compared to the Fuel.Mr Moofo wrote: Fri Apr 18, 2025 2:06 pm No pictures but did a quick loop on the Privateer - I forgot how much I prefer manual bikes and how much I like the Privateer!
At times today I really wanted an ebike lol. But overall, no
Re: 2025 Bikes, rides and pictures.
After a year of trying to recover from some knee issues I bought myself a cheater and took it up in the hills behind my place and perfect day for it on Sunday.
