One of, if not 'the', most important steps in any self respecting mountain biker's van conversion: a place to carry the bikes.

First test run 👍

Not a bad ride after either.

Stunning views from Kinnitty on Monday for our first ride of the new year.

First trip to this mountain bike trail center. Great to see so many people making use of the trails especially all the families.

Another piece of the suspension experiment going on with my @santacruzbicycles_uk Bronson.
This @extremeshox Storia is on loan from our good friends at @rhsuspension.
Stay tuned for more details of the mad scientist ideas were playing with.

One fresh set of forks fully serviced by @rhsuspension. Richie also upgraded the air shaft from 160mm to 180mm as part of a suspension experiment we're running on my Bronson.

Thanks Richie!

Go check out @republic_of_bike for more info. They're raffling this bike and all proceeds go to a mountain biker in need.

At Emerald MTB, besides riding our bikes, we love to support local bike businesses.
With that in mind we're working on a number of ideas but we need your help.

Tell us about your local mountain bike shop - what do they offer, what have they done for you… https://t.co/Uf9iPcsdAn

So this well sums up practice at Gravity Enduro in Cahir. Out of our team of 3 we managed 2 punctures after practicing one stage. We only managed to practice 3 stages in the end, partially due to the heat... Lots and lots of water needed tomorrow.

Not the most challenging trail, but getting out for 30 minutes after a day sat at my desk to stretch my legs and clear my head is priceless.

It's no secret I'm a huge @pnwcomponents fan. So when they sent over a pair of their brand new Range Composite pedals, for the sake of objectivity, I passed them on to long time contributor, Jet.

Stunning evening ride. Not overly techy, but that just means there's time to enjoy the views.

Making the most of the beautiful location we have the privilege of living in. Sometimes it's nice to slow down and take it all in with loved ones.
