Mountain Biking

[Greboth 2,721]

I know we have some road cyclist on here but do we have any that like the muddy stuff?

 

I got in to it a few years ago through my brother in law, honestly I'm still not that good at it and mostly stick to more cross country riding the downhill.  Luckily for me there is a big park near which while there isn't any specific trails there is always some fun routes through the trees.  If that doesn't take my fancy then Cannock chase is only 30 minutes away where I can be found riding the red trail.

 

For those who don't do biking or don't know Cannock, this is the trail I usually ride (this isn't me in the video though).  More cross country switch backs to begin with and spend most of the first half climbing with the second half being more flowing downhill.  It is especially fun after the campsite which is around 44 minutes in to this video.

 

 

 

And this is my bike

 

Nothing too special but it does me, it's mostly original but full spec is;

Kona Lanaii 2011 Hardtail

Race face seat post (bent the original - whoops)

Mavic Crossride wheels

Specialized Purgatory tyres

Specialized seat

 

I really need up change my brakes and chainset too as they are original and showing signs of wear but no idea whats parts yet.

I have a nice mountain bike that I was expecting to get a ton of use out of.  Then I had kids.  I guess that was that
