Video: Rob Warner Kicks Off his Attempt to Ride the 100 Mile South Downs Way in One Day
Winchester (Alresford) lad checking in here. I miss the rolling hills of Hampshire having moved to London but at least they're more accessible than a flight from the other side of the world!

Ragley Release Updated Range of 2021 Bikes
@Molesdigmyjumps: locally, you're absolutely right. But when I get to the mountains and do uplift days, the Mega is the more appropriate bike

Ragley Release Updated Range of 2021 Bikes
Bought and built up a BluePig frame last year. It's so much more fun to ride than my Nukeproof Mega, and I've completely fallen in love with steel again.
That 2021 BigWig paintjob is beautiful!

Ridden & Rated: 11 of the Best New Men's Riding Pants
I recently took a punt on some trousers from 'RevolutionRace' - a scandi business I believe. Anyway, they have fitted me really well, and have a decent long leg length for me (I'm 6ft, but with long legs and short body!). They're supposed to be hiking trousers, but the pockets, stretchy material etc all work really well as a riding trouser. My only gripe is that they're not at all waterproof, but that might just be the model I purchased as they have a range. Anyway, I'd really recommend them for anyone with longer legs like me, the adjustable cinched cuff is good to stop any snagging, and the fit was bang on for me. Also not crazy expensive, think mine set me back 70-80 quid.
Edit: I bought the 'Nordwand' Zip-Off's, and having just had a look there are some more waterproof options on their site as well. I bought Medium size, and have a 32/33" waist

Bikes are bikes are bikes are bikes as far as I'm concerned - I love being on two wheels, whether that's my Enduro / SingleSpeed / DJ / Hardcore Hardtail or Road Bike - If I'm on two wheels it's ALWAYS a good time. When I was younger I used to jeer 'roadies' who cycled past me. I'm a bit older now and I can have almost as much fun on a road ride as I can on a world cup downhill track, it's just a different kind of fun!
Same goes for the cost of the bike. It could be a brand new 5k DH beast or a 2004 Specialized Demo - you can still have hella fun on either one. Just get out and ride your damn bike!
