Bike Mag - testing

Things seem to be going superbly as far as the BIKE 2010 test set-up goes.
Marks working tirelessly, the boys are really putting the hours in and Bex's food is keeping everyone fuelled up whilst suitable impressed with her culinary skill.
Me - well, i've been back in the UK for the first few days of BIKE arrivals then in my 'own little Africa' working on my usual 'off season' job - renovations - fortunately with a paycheck too :)

Anyway, I called in to see how things were going on day 5 of testing and everything seems like its on track and progressing well. DH and Trail bikes are about wrapped up and I managed to squeeze some time in today to get a few laps of lost lake in the rain.

I rode a Cannondale RZone and a Giant Trance. Two laps of wet, mud and smiles!
I cant talk about the bikes as, well, I'm not allowed to but I can say that I've missed being out on my bike for the last few weeks.

Check out the link above for the life cycles blog from their time in whistler, this film is going to change things in the bike movie world. You can quote me on that.

BIKE mag

October, time to kick back and reflect on the season. Think about the great rides you've had and sneak as many fun rides in as you can before the winter really kicks in - right?

Wrong, Bike magazine are turning up this week, we will be looking after them till mid November and right now im checking the weather network more than is normal for any internet browser.

The great news is we will be trying out next years bikes, and im not just talking SCOTT bikes (though we have two Voltage FR's that I cannot put down) but all of next years new bikes. Bike mag are doing a special test issue that will feature us and is being run out of the chalet.

UPS and Fed Ex are calling me every 2 minutes for customs clearance and im waiting for a couple of customs officers to turn up to see whats going on the amount of bikes that are coming in. Needless to say all the guides are spending more time in the garage than in their own beds.

To top that off it looks like we are going to be alowed to shuttle the bike park with no one else on the mountain, its going to be an incredible month.
