"The Distance" by
Cake...... apt somehow!

(Not my vid by the way, but Cubester and I did the Ae line last year on Hardtails.... red route my arse. I was absolutely in bits by the end of it. )

errm, I think more like a few months,saving for my Carbon 456 wont be getting that for a good few months yet. My curent bike is way too heavy.

I don't consider myself a good mountain biker (or even average fo that matter), but i've done red runsat Chicksands a few times and as long as you take it slow / controlled (not too slow mind!) it's not bad at all! If anything, think i've learnt quite a bit from it. Nothing like going down a steep twisty decline to find that there's also a 2 / 3 foot drop which you need to adapt too. :-)

I ride a trek 4900, it's a good bike but, in no way would i call it light.
