Many years ago when we started this mountain biking lark, I seem to recall a thin, blond haired bloke, who used to cycle with us. He was a keen sort, a born again biker. Strong uphill, confident down.

Recently he seems to have vanished, disappearing into a world of Christmas shopping, illness and blogmastering.

Where is that bloke?

Have his bearing seized up?

Will he ever build that On One up?

What am I rambling about?

Come back Matt, we miss you!!
