Prior to broken I-phone from matt holley on Vimeo.

Early Saturday start.

2010-03-06T07:59:00.000-08:00

Alex and I started early this morning (well early for the both of us anyway)

After finally sorting my grips out i was away by 10.30am.

It was a good session again today (once again just the two of us for most of it)

The day was going really well till alex broke his I-phone.

I really wanted a 10 speed when i first saw this film

2010-03-05T08:19:00.000-08:00

And it makes me want to get another racer.

Classic Tom Hanks 'The man with one red shoe'.

I liked Monday

2010-03-01T14:55:00.000-08:00

Hit up wyvern tonight,

Some tricks were thrown.

I appear to be floating in my pic of a 180 (those reflective tyres certainly work)

Alex told me he was'nt over it and i felt better.

We might miss you a little bit christian.

Ok so New Year meant New Bikes.

I've had this set up since early January And Alex built his up early feb.

Things have changed a lot with our riding and so have the bikes with it!!
These things seem indestructible and i'm enjoying my riding a lot more recently.

Always the last to leave, me and Alex seem to be pushing each other to learn stuff at the moment.

The bikes are fit for the purpose.

Joes Bicycle.

2010-03-01T14:40:00.000-08:00

This bike started off life in cash converters. That was my immediate utterance when i first met joe, i never asked if he minded me being so brash about it!
Many a part has been replaced since he first got it, but its still going strong. It's used every day and you can see it from the picture.
