Boxing Day ride :)

[Martin@e-bikeshop]

Hi Guys,

Bought my father a Haibike for xmas. Think he's pretty chuffed, he was up till late last night, reading all the manuals etc haha.

Took him to Swinley today, done the Red & Blue route combined are about 16 miles. Its pretty wet out there today so quite boggy in places. Bearing in mind he hasn't been on a bike in about 20 years I think he done pretty well! To be honest I'm pretty knackered myself, although I was on one of my non-electric bikes to give the old chap a chance..

Was a good ride though, I love riding at Swinley, its pretty up and down and windy in places. Here's some pics before & after.



Anyone else been out today at all? Lap up the sun before the storm hits again at the weekend!

Regards
Martin

Looks good Martin.

Always good see another bike off road.

I only went for a very relaxed on road bimble around Ashdown Forest. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/14997-anyone-had-interesting-ride-recently-12.html#post201922

I was going to go off road, but were having guests round for lunch, and as things never seem to go to plan off road, I thought better of it.

I think the weekend's come early as far as the weather's concerned Martin:

The wind's getting up & the rain's heading toward the hozirontal already down here

Hi Eddie,

Sorry only just got back on here after the xmas rush and seen your reply.
Its even wetter now! Was contemplating going out tomorrow but Mr Google seems to think its going to be atrocious tomorrow.

Lovely picture there you took on Boxing day. I couldn't believe how clear the skies were! If im up in that area Ill have to check out Ashdown forest. Are there any proper routes there? Or is it a 'free for all' follow your nose kind of place?

Also on a side not did you get my PM back on xmas eve? It was a little short but sweet as it was about half 11 at night xmas eve. All the frame geometries can be found on my website. But their is no Haibike Urban Pro? Just the Urban. Maybe you're referring to the Trekking Pro?

Regards
Martin
