this smarted a bit


Still living up in Hertfordshire, but spent the last 3 weeks down in Custard Country.
Alice and I finally had to move out of Exeter, time for the next step towards the future, Alice is heading to Bristol in just over a month.
I've decided to keep the faithful goose for now, was planning on trading it in for a shorter, lighter bike as it's flat as Holland up here.
Went for a 40 mile road ride with Andy a few weeks ago, loved it, especially burning of cars on the winding downs and I felt we earned them with the FUCK OFF big ups.
Cheers for that Fatman.
Hit up Holden with Andy, Ewart and Skam last week had a great evening super dry and dusty. Although it took me all evening to get back up to speed and smoke Andy (the rest of the evening I'd been struggling lol).
The next day we rocked up to the O P trails near Taunton. They are excellent, dry, dusty, fast, well thought out and built. Thanks to Pete Ford from Yak Kayaking for taking us.
We went back the following tuesday after some rain, Ewart, Jim and I. For most of the day it was so wet it felt like we were riding on ice!!!!! And we never realised how sticky and claggy the soil was, After the first 100 metres we all had 3 inch slicks on not 2.5 knobblies!!!
Went surfing weekend b4 last, I tried out the valley Rush+ loaned to me by the kind shop monkeys at AS Watersports. I loved it although the lack of foot rests made it a bit edgy LOL. Catching my edges certainly kept Big Owen amused at Polzeath!!!
That boat rocked though. Super fast and agile, though I'm not sure if it was performed much better than Dan's old 3rd hand Marauder, definately not £1000 better anyway. So much for 10 years of surf boat evolution.
It's official, I've replaced all my 3 - 4 year old kit and am ready to hit the rivers again this autumn/winter, now all i need is a boat.
Big props to AS Watersports for their support and equipment, you all do a fine job and I'm happy to call ou my local shop. Check them out at http://www.aswatersportsequipment.co.uk/
I'll be the dude rocking the Sassy green Strutter this winter(after 5 years I thought it was time to retire the famous yellow pot).
