Had my operation a month back and just started road riding the last week. Did my second ride today in Lordship Rec, Downhills Park and the car parks of Broadwater Farm Estate.. Managed an hour this time which was cool. Smarting just a little but all good.

When the Alarm sang out this morning I didn’t know what was happening. Was I on early shift again! was it Keven’s alarm going off?  No. It’s Saturday and all is well as we are going for a ride at Cannock Chase. It was –5 when we started loading the car up.  On route the washer jets seized/froze up and I could barely see, it was down to –8 by now.

Wow what a noise, way to early in the day. At least this morning the alarm clock is saying it’s play time SMILEYS_SMILE

Up dressed eaten and got everything together in the car ready to go by 06:00 hours. Refuelled the car at the local petrol station and on the way to our destination of fun. Bloody dark and frosty this morning. Still we arrived at Cannock Chase by 08:00 hours out on the trail by 08:15.


Woke up to dark skies and bleary eyes.

The alarm rang out in the dark at 04:00 hours, I pushed Keven out of bed first. Then I scrambled around trying to protect my eyes from the sudden burst of light as Keven flicked on the light as leaving the room SMILEYS_SAD

Road riders huddle with dirt bikers, xc whippets collide with downhill warriors, trials artists nod at the fearless street and BMX stars, fierce fixies entice fashionable single speeders over to the dark side. London the loveable slut she is, being the wonderful canvass and diverse melting pot she represents, is the perfect venue for such a meeting as the tribes of cyclists collide and become one. This is the Cycle Show 2009.


Had a lovely long weekend.

Annual Leave August 09

Had a great time this week. Got to my folks on Saturday, had a relaxing afternoon. Sunday we went for  a walk to look around Lee Quarry; definitely not ready for the Black graded part of the ride, but think I will be able to cope with the rest at a push. It was a good morning out and not too far from my parents, so will be able to stay at theirs and ride up to the Quarry. Probably do that on the next biking visit.

North London Bike Track Progress

Folks, Realise I have been quiet recently on the plans to build a Bike Track in Lordship Rec in Tottenham North London. So I wanted to do a quick update as in the background we have been really busy and getting some great results with input from many folks including most importantly the local community.

As an update last month iBikeRide ran the local consultation with residents and riders. The finding recommended strongly a multi disciplined park for all ages with a focus on jumps, berms, recreational racing and skills development. Since then the architect and council have moved successfully to stage D of the drawings for the bike Park in North London (that's passed concept stage and into design and costing stage).

The areas coming out in design concepts that support the consultation well which are we are reviewing (not signed off or approved) are a racing track with jumps, a small pump track for all ages and abilities, a skills areas to encompass, boulders and shore and some winding trails through the small woodland

Overall I think this will be pretty significant for off road cycling and particularly London as we have I believe the first (legal) multi disciplined off road dirt track in a built up deprived area in London.  I am thinking to start a club later this year to rally and organise local riders. The Lordship Rec has a community festival in the summer and we are excited to be looking to support and have a stand at Festival on the 12th September 2009 in Tottenham, North London. Please come along for a fun day and to spread the word. We estimate over 3000 people to be there.

I'm working closely with Ian Warby at the CTC who are giving really great guidance and practical support and I'm planning on visting Ian soon on his latest project in Leighton Linslade to get some real learnings. I have had also conversations and really good input from Phil Saxena (builds World Cup 4 cross tracks) who has sent on a model of a bike park in Germany that succesfully acheived a similar result we are looking for. Even Brian Lopes (Rides and often wins world cups on the tracks Phil builds) has given advice on what not to build in terms of keeping the corners smooth and not too tight so as not to break speed and to keep jumps in the pump track small to keep the flow. Do you have bike park design experience? If so get in touch. Will update soon
