About this time last month Irwin and I (Jeff) met up with Joe Bowman and Rob Stokes (of ThisiSheffield fame) for some late afternoon riding of a new track at Wharncliffe:- ‘Alexander Super Trout’ (you can ask Rob where the name came from). It’s a good track, quite steep in places and, unusually for Wharncliffe, doesn’t have that many rocks in it.
Appropriately, considering his plan to become a ‘mountain bike personality’ rather than actually having to ride a bike, Rob soon crashed and sustained a finger injury preventing from further riding. This left Joe and Irwin to do most of the riding for the video and since the light was going we only got the top half of the track, but apart from that not a bad little video IMO.

Round 6 of the Pearce Cycles 2010 race series was at Bucknell in Shropshire at the weekend. The pictures from Saturday and Sunday are now up. The race video is now up.
On Sunday afternoon Irwin and I (Jeff) went to ride Ambergate near Matlock with the MTS lads. I got my frame out of Irwin’s car then asked “Where are my wheels?” – turns out they were still on Irwin’s drive – nuts!
So with no riding to do I had plenty of time for pictures.
So guys got a few of us coming down so see you there. The weather Doesn’t look great but improving but there is always the pub + were going to do some maintenance see you there.
