My hometown of Malvern has been host to a number of successful cyclists over the last 25 years and ever since our BMX track was closed down 20 years ago for housing development we haven't had a local cycling facility within a 20 mile radius
Now is the perfect time to push for this to happen as we all need to be staying local and going outside to keep ourselves healthy and active and especially for all the kids in this area.
To have a place where they can play and exercise safely would be amazing.
We need your support to firstly share this page and support the progress but also to sign this petition as we need to show the local council etc that there really is a need and want for such a project by local people in this area...so please sign up and help support getting a pump track to Malvern ๐
Thank you
Thanks @rossbellphoto for capturing a rare view amongst the rain of our Highlands trip for @shimanomtb back in July. Great trip and great to catch up and ride with @manoncarpenter ๐๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
โข @rossbellphoto 2020... Where do you start? Well Iโm sure everyone has heard enough of the c word so Iโll keep this short and sweet! A wee photo review is on the @pinkbike homepage if you fancy a look at some of my favourites from a weirdly and whacky 12 months. Big thanks to everyone I got to work alongside last year. Letโs see what โ21 brings!
Happy 2021.. and what better way to start the year with a goal of trying to get a pump track in my home town
At a time when staying local and being outdoors and active couldnโt be more important, it seems crazy that in such a successful cycling town we donโt have any facilities for young kids to ride bike and scooters in a safe environment
Please help spread the word and make this a reality ASAP for the young people of this area ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ด๐น
Please take a look at the FB follow it, support it and ask any questions you may have

Page dedicated to promote the need for and development of a local pump track. Malvern has produced some world-class cyclists but grass roots facilities are lacking. Our mission is to get kids of all ages out having fun on bikes, scooters and skateboards.Bikes still making almost all of my best nine in some form !! That has to be a good thing !!
2020 will always be one we wonโt forget for a while and I do hope 2021 returns to something that resembles the past and meeting up with friends is normal life again ๐ค
Happy New Year and thanks for all the continued support and following ๐๐๐ฅณ
Successful first half term of nursery complete โ
Happy to say that commuting to school by bike has been the best parent / child time ever ๐
We chat about the traffic, the birds, the litter ๐, the farm we pass and the weather !! We only had to drive on two occasions (due to weather) and every other mum at nursery thinks I am mad Iโm sure ( especially when Iโve squeezed in a road ride whilst Tobyโs at nursery, ran late and had to ride to school in my Lycra and spd shoes !!! ๐๐คฃ - pic 2 !! )
but hey I think Toby enjoys it !! ๐๐๐ฒ
It must be bad Iโm running ๐โโ๏ธ๐คฃ
I have to admit that I am normally a super self motivated person but right now close to the shortest day of the year, the ground is saturated and Iโve had a poorly boy and some disturbed nights sleep, finding time to get out on my bike has been tough this last week.
Iโm also a person that thrives with a goal and a plans so itโs tough when the Covid world seems to be a continued factor in planning anything for the future
Anyway the point of my ramble is to say that even the most motivated people have bad days and today I could so easily have not done any exercise but with the โgoalโ to deliver some Xmas cards I decided to embark on my longest run for a very long time
Being as far from a natural runner as is possible I slid around in the mud for 8km and felt so grateful for being healthy and able to get out in the fresh air and I delivered my cards ! โGoalโ accomplished ! No one said they have to be big goals !!
Think Iโll feel it in my legs tomorrow but happy to have got out there.... hope this helps one of you reading this to get out there and get your fix of me time and outside time, itโs always worth it once youโve got out the door ๐ช!!
Hereโs to more daylight, less rain and a world without Covid restrictions soon ๐ค๐ ๐ป
Some more E Bike chat right here.....have a listen if you have a spare 50 mins ! ๐

ebike #emtbSam's Bikes is a dedicated Ebike Mountain Bike channel on YouTubeRiders in this Episode of E Talk we talk to DH, Enduro and now E Enduro Legend Tr...I always love a new challenge and I didnโt expect when e bike enduro racing began this year I would be loving the uphill stages as much as the downhill ones !!! ๐๐คฃ
I think for me it was the idea that I needed to learn how to firstly master an eBike and then learn how to get uphill fast !
Iโd spent years thinking about how to do this downhill but uphill was a new skill set entirely !
I used to love testing in my DH days so when I told Steve Jones I had some ideas for the power stages he was keen for me to show him what I was thinking ๐ค ๐ญ
Enjoy some fun @jonesemtb and I testing ideas ๐คฃ๐โก๏ธ๐ฒ

Inspired by @kendalmountainfestival and @cal_major @trashfreetrails this past week, we did a family walk just 1/2mile from home and came home with a bin bag full of rubbish as tall as Toby !
. . . . .
Iโm fortunate and live in a rural area and our route took in a main A road for 400m and then an off-road track into an old disused quarry
We picked up - dog poo ๐ฉ bags, beer bottles and cans, lots of plastic drinks bottles, bottle tops, crisp packets and general plastic packaging
Sadly this isnโt the only litter pick that has been done on this route, so it really is sad to be able to find that much litter in this small rural area
Today I know the outdoor Kendal community were all taking part in a litter pick and I canโt imagine just how much litter has been collected today.....good work everyone ๐
For me I canโt understand why people do this and my only hope is that inspiring the next generation to love and appreciate the outdoor places will help make change. So my hope is that if a 2.5yr old asks to help pick up litter then letโs hope the future looks brighter for our environment .... letโs educate and work together to make our future full of less of our litter ๐๐
