Look up Cwmcarn on Google its just above Newport I use to do it 2 or 3times aweek cost back then was £25 for the day with that u get mini bus with bike on trailer back up to the very top then cycle like crazy back down then if ur fast enough wait for mini bus to take u back up I use to be able to do 14 runs in a day trust me if ur going fast enough its very tiring but a hellof a laugh by the way u will want ful face helmet and fulk body armour I clocked my self doing around 35 to 40mph on very loose stone and when u come off ur glad u had it on.

I have a carrera vulcan

The missus has one of those. I have a VooDoo Bantu for myself. Not much to choose between them apart from the better fork on the Bantu & lighter frame. Hopefully we'll get some decent weather this year & get some miles onto them both!

I was just under a grand for them both?

I prefer mine with engines!

I do own a push bike and use it now and then when I have a fitness burst ;)

I too prefer them with engines these days.
i may break my pushy to sell the bits to finance a cheap xrosser to explore green lanes for me truck.

I have a Kona Kilauea and a Marin B17.

My Son has just got a Mongoose Tyax Comp for his 14th birthday. I hope he get's into it, as it will hopefully drag me and I'll start training again. :clap
