December 2009

Welcome to my first attempt at blogging! For
someone who doesn’t know his mouse from his
elbow bear with me, then again I have a wife called
Liz and a very understanding web man Mark.
After two weeks of the NEC bike show and very sore
feet I was glad to be back in the saddle, however Liz
didn’t tell me I would be riding up in Murcia with Lee
with a group of Paris Dakar Veterans.
Great time was had by all and I have now swopped
my sore feet for psychiatric therapy. Thanks Mike
and friends for great riding. And Liz your Christmas present has gone out of the window.
It was great to meet so many customers and friends at the NEC Bike show this year. I thank you all
very much for the fond memories and support you have given me over the years, long may it
continue.
On a more serious note, I met many new potential
clients who told me of bad experiences with other trail
riding companies. They were reluctant to come riding in
Spain again. The main complaint being the poor
standard of bikes and riding gear. Bikes and equipment
not fit for purpose. When I asked why they had chosen
them in the first place they said on the face of it they
were a little cheaper … enough said.
Anyway its almost Christmas weekend and its Dougie´
turn in Marbella for the serious hard work He has the
enduro dudes and I have the novice group and partners
on the track. Or is this another of Liz´s wind ups? Don’t think so cos she is busy making the mince pies and Christmas cake.
All the best to you all.
