Hoping to use this more in the coming months

TREK are not cheap but you get what you pay for and I cant see myself riding anything else.
 
Trek are a good bike but they were way better a few years ago, Giant are the same.
Dolan do some very nice hand made bikes foe very god money.
 
iam a TREK man myself cant see me buying any thing else love them so strong and reliable

any one else got one

Have 2 trek's and a few giant's love them but they are not making the new ones like the old ones.
Have a few old Raleigh bikes there and a few old post man bikes love them.

Now that the weather is improving (slightly) its time to get back on the bike. Bought this 10 years ago for E1000 and she is still going. I used to do 100 miles a week up until a year ago before moving to Florida. Have to build back up to that again.

@ yogi with out being smart do you have to cylce up hill first or do you start at the top and just go down ?it sounds like good craic is there many clubs for it through out ireland or is a small group of friends just getting together?

These bikes are not designed to pedal up hill. You can do it but it'll break you.
Usually you'd just push it to the top. Did that with Mt Brandon in Dingle last weekend. Bit of a slog but worth it.
At races you get a lift to the top - usually in tractors & trailors.
The best place is to go to ski resorts in the summer. You get the lifts to the top with your bike. No pushing at all. Some great resorts in the Alps.

Where abouts are you living? Will be able to point you towards your nearest club. It's quite a popular sport, and more than a group of friends doing it. There is a full national circuit that'd have approx 200 entrants per event.

I know, but cant get flying job over there with a UK pilots licence. The yanks have there own FAA system to the EU so I would have to start training again under their flight rules.

I find that strange Andy, Cause i know a lad flying helicopters in aberdeen, from main land too the oil rigs and he did the training in the usa under the FAA system, its strange that they'l take it one way but not the other???!!!!! Why's that do you think??? is it a stricter reigeme over there???
 
Did he convert his FAA license back over to a UK one when he got back? That is what I did.
 
ohhhh thats a good one, Not a clue. :lol: All i know is he went too the usa too do the training as it worked out about 20grand cheaper all together, Would them figures be right, May have been ten grand cheaper. Anyway he came back too aberdeen and was flying nearly straight away when he came back :thumbsup:
 
If he got flying straight away he could be flying an FAA registered heli. When I got back from Florida I spent another 12,000 converting my FAA licence to a UK one.
 
ya the 20grand looks more like the right figures so. That could be what he is doing. I wont say cause i dont know. Cheers for info andy :thumbsup:
