Christmas is almost upon us and while I can’t say how much I’ll have to say over the holiday period, I expect to add a few more posts before the year end. Before then I’d just like to say a word of thanks and wish everyone a Happy Christmas and New Year.

The year’s been a good one for this website and our riding group. Thanks in particular to everyone who’s contributed writing over the year—we’ve had articles from eight different riders (Colin, Lee, Jez, Mark, Dave, James, Tony and myself) and I think their individual points of view (and high quality of writing) really help make the site what it is.

Plenty of other people have also contributed with their comments throughout the year and that too is greatly appreciated, so please keep them coming. I’m always pleasantly surprised at how nice the MTB world is out there.

Finally, we’ve ridden with lots of different riders over the year, many of whom have contacted us via the website and all of whom have been good guys (and girls) to ride with. New riders are always welcome and we’re looking forward to meeting up with other MTB groups across the south east next year to broaden our horizons.

Thanks again to all and have a good holiday.
