Peter the Hairdresser

I was dragged out on my mountain bike last Saturday afternoon in the pouring rain with my brother in law Peter. I've been hiding on a road bike since last November so it was about time.

He was mad for going out as he'd just bought his new Malt 2 the week before. We did a longish lap of Tockholes woods and it was very claggy to say the least. We both got soaked, but Peter loved every minute of it. Its always a buzz to see someone falling in love for mountain biking for the first time and makes me realize that I often take for granted what a great sport it is and the great places it takes us.

He still rode like a hairdresser though.............

but give him time............

and he'll be fine.

Beatles For Sale

Well, not actually the Beatles. I was looking for "sale" images on Google and this came up. Its a cool album so I posted it, OK?. Its not as good as Rubber Soul or Revolver that followed it though. Its always seemed like a very quickly cobbled together album to me with lots of covers on it. Rock and Roll music is genius though with fantastic energy.

Anyway, back to work:

We've got an Online sale on this weekend with up to a further 10% of the Wizards already frankly crazy prices!

There you go.

Sean

Sean started last week and will be working mainly in the shop under the guidance of Nige. Nige has been keeping him happy with tales of freeride madness, why life was better in the 70's and endless supplies of Werthers Originals.

Welcome to the team Sean, may you live long and prosper.

Yes, I'm a slack git

No posts recently, though I'm not sure many people actually read this Blog so it probably does'nt matter. We've been very busy with bikes after the What Mountain Bike review, so much so that actually sold out of all the Tig Team SL frames apart from a few 13" and 15". They are back in stock early to mid April so just in time for the dry and sunny summer that we are going to have.

We've got some crazy bargains at the moment, a full set of 07' XTR disc brakes for £199.95! So be sure to check out the site.

Not been riding my Mountain Bike much, mainly road rides. I know there are people out there who like mud and rain and cold, but I'm not one of them anymore. After 20 years of Mountain Biking I've had my fill I suppose. So bring on the summer.

Anyway, Andy cleaned the kitchen the other day, so here it is in all its glory for Jill. Much to Paul Mc's dismay he was not wearing the pink marigolds he'd promised or the frilly apron.
