I couldn't help myself, have bike must ride, so I started hitting the trails again, I quickly pushed it way beyond it's limits and bent the fork. Now I have a proper rig again, aaah good times, I love riding.

Carlos Menchén Jiménez When I was racing in Alaska during the early 90s, it was all hardcore endurance XC. Long races and rides were the norm. I was very surprised when I learned the World Champ XC race was only 25 miles long. That was just the warm up for Alaska racers. Most of our races were in the 40+ mile range with some going up to 80-90 miles.

Just getting back into MTB after a 12 year absence. So as a relative born again newbie, I consider myself to be an XC/Blue Trail sort of guy, as I like to mingle with nature at an easy pace . Too old for downhill, not fit enough for enduro, and I don't have the finely trimmed beard, quirky fashion sense, or the coffee and cake baking knowledge of the hipster gravel bike set. So if I do stop for a coffee, and cake, whilst out riding, I just follow my nose to find a cafe that offers a decent cuppa, and freshly baked by grandma carrot cake, or Victoria sponge. I also like the odd cream tea, jam first btw.
