Nick’s going to pull my legs off…
We’ve got ex-National MTB XC champ Nick Craig popping in tomorrow to take me for a ride. It’s for a feature you see? We’re doing a couple of local loops on different bikes to see what they’re like. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden with a real XC pro, but I do remember that they let you get yourself into trouble while they happily spin just behind you, chatting away. You don’t want to appear a slow old rider (even if you are) so you try harder and harder and eventually explode into lots of teeny tiny pieces.
Well, we’ll see if that happens. Oh, and then I’ll have to write 2000 words about the experience too. By Thursday…
