We have received our first Cube Gravel bike, the Cube Nuroad Race which is their top spec one at £1299. They also offer the Nuroad Pro at £999 to tempt those who are maybe just thinking of dipping their toe into the world of Gravel bikes. The benefits of these bikes are that they are light, nimble, simple & can go on & off road. So your ride in the Surrey Hills doesn't have to be restricted to either road or off road, you can jump effortlessly between the two & get …

We've taken our first delivery of Pivot bikes in the shape of the 140mm travel Mach 5.5 27.5. A perfect bike for our local Surrey Hills trails but more than capable for the trips away to Wales & beyond. We'll shortly be receiving the Enduro designed Firebird 29 with 170mm travel that has to be ridden to be believed how well it rides. We'll also be receiving the only aluminium bike in the range, the Switchblade 27.5+/29 with 135mm travel a great all round bike & at a slightly more …

Evil The Calling:

Saturday was the first ride in memory of Mark King aka Gay Mark or Kinger. Nearly 50 people descended on The Star pub in Dorking to remember Mark & raise money for Surrey Air Ambulance, with at least one piece of clothing being pink! We headed off via Westcott to 'Heads Roll' & then visited The Plough Pub in Coldharbour to meet up with members of his family. It was a very poignant time with many memories shared & of course many laughs had, which of course is inevitable where Mark is …

We were super lucky with the weather on our Hope demo day, trails were running sweet & customers were able to demo the bikes to their full potential. Hope brought along the original 3D printed models & prototypes used in the evolution of the HB160 & it was great talking to Sam, who as one of their world cup mechanics knew everything there was to know, not just about the frames but all the Hope own kit used to build up the bike. The bike certainly seemed to excel in the Surrey Hills & …

After what seemed like weeks of rain & general miserable weather over the Xmas period, Saturday dawned bright & there was a good turnout for the ride. As team leader Simon had been suffering with the dreaded lurgy that had been going around, he took the opportunity to take our Focus Jam2 Plus ebike out for the ride. Conditions were terrible, so we had to pick our route carefully, but we still managed to get some fun jump practise in. Below are some piccies of some of the guys styling it …
