Day at FoD today, although a large chunk of mine was exploring Coleford and surrounding areas on the MTB with regards to a house move. Got a better feeling for the area and have fun out there too, win win.

Re: New bike day. The hand me down. (MTB)
Handed this over to the boss yesterday with the idea of him trying it for a ride. He's on my G170 i used to own that i sold him about 4 years back and been really happy with it..
We did the usual trails he lives near in Greenham Common (Star Wars territory), by heck he gets a move on, he's a big lump of a unit, but not massively fat, just built like a bloody ox. He uses 2 gears, 11 and 12, lol, nothing else exists. I had to work REAAAAAAALY hard to keep with him and we were cracking along at a fine pace that's for sure. We only did a 13km fly round the common, but it was fast all the way (apart from the dogs).
Anyway, he bought the bike and is a happy boy. It cost me some money as someone else wanted it for more.. but he's a mate so got it cheaper
Of course as he's a mate it means i'm also the warranty department for it, but that's cool, it's all good fun.
