Today, Shredders Andrew and I take on the legendary Borrowdale Bash, one of the best mountain bike trails in the Lake District. This iconic 30km loop isn’t just about the fast descentsβ€”it’s about the full adventure, from meeting great people to unexpected moments like retro bikes, wild herding, and non-stop fun. If you love technical trails, big mountain views, and epic singletrack, this is a must-watch!

  1. To anyone who needs this: if you feel like your life is lacking joy, know that you are not alone. You are the reason someone smiles every day, and you are doing a great job of staying up so far. Congratulations brother/sister, I am proud of you. Don't give up, no matter what happens. And remember that above all, God loves you. So much. Jesus loves you more in a single second than a person could in a lifetime. He died for you, for your sins and mine. So get closer to Him, because that is what He wants, and it is thanks to Him that I can spread this message.

    Take care of yourself, because even though life has its difficulties, at the same time it is very beautiful. So don't waste it, but enjoy every second as much as you can with those you love, and with Christ. πŸ™‚

  2. Good going. Smooth and relaxed always, harder on the back brake and feather the front brake, take a rear wheel skid over a front wheel skid, it's the difference between a sore ass and a trip to hospital with a broken collarbone. And the most important of all, seat down and stand up. You become the suspension. Keep riding brother!
