Our week on two wheels

As a new week unfolds we like to keep you, our faithful readership, informed with the happenings from the previous weekend. Logged for your perusal are accounts from last week’s two-wheeled antics from the people behind BikeRadar. With everything from mud plugging miles in deepest darkest Gloucestershire to indoor and outdoor miles from our snowstruck colleagues in Colorado, it illustrates exactly how unique the testing conditions are in both of these territories.

This Saturday I joined a healthy crowd of BikeRadar and What Mountain Bike’s finest for a day of rowdy skidding in deepest, darkest Gloucestershire. Riding in some of the slipperiest mud I’ve ever encountered, I spent most of my day close to horizontal, trying desperately to stay upright on the bike. And as is now tradition, we all posed for a stupid group photograph.

The following day I headed over to Wales with resident enduro weapon Seb Stott to scare myself on what he described as “steep death, gnar-gnar trails”. As promised, the trails were super steep and sketchy, but I was not the one who got the biggest fright of the day — poor Seb exited a gnarly chute to discover a corner that he knew well had… well, completely disappeared as a result of recent forestry work. After almost flying into this unknown void at some reckless pace, he needed a few minutes to recover from the shock."
