I've been nominated for my article on my bike ride across Iceland last summer, I'd love it if you'd take a minute to read it and then vote for me here

Best event of the year? There's no doubt in my mind it's MTBMeetup, if you've not been yet you need to get the date in your diary, but first give them a vote https://t.co/E2gmjfK85F

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

Check these folks out - TWO nominations this year!!!

Well they do make darn good bikes and have pretty fab online service, check them out and give them a vote https://t.co/bQoag1Y2PB

Best bike under £1,500? No question who the winner should be in my mind - take a look at the Sonder Bikes Evol and then pop them a vote - they made a great bike and deserve the recognition https://t.co/1SK0rrQ4qx

Back on my bike at @OPALlandegla today, can't believe I have to wait another 51 weeks before the next @MTBMeetupUK - gives me time to plan even more coaching sessions for next year though (who fancies an intro to bikepacking on the Friday night)

[MTBMEETUP @MTBMeetupUK]

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for, we present to you #MTBMeetup18.

Huge thanks to @Eastwood_Media for their hard work creating the film.

@Xeeboto I still have them somewhere - best bet is to go back through the blogs on my website

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

@Benjih1 @MTBMeetupUK @Veetirecouk all the way, and they shoukd be at Meetup next weekend too 😁

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

@MTBMeetupUK @Maxxis_Tyres @TransAlpUK @Veetirecouk all the way - give them a shout and see if they'll bring them to meetup for you?

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

@MTBMeetupUK @ChasingTrails Dammit - wrote that too quickly - switch that date to Oct 7th 😬

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

@MTBMeetupUK @ChasingTrails How about all those who registered interest, but don't get a space can come on a BARGAIN skills course with me on Sunday Sept 23rd for just £20pp?

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

@dougielampkin @SSDTOffice @VertigoTrial @RedBullUK @Belstaff @jitsietrials @alpinestars @RockOilNews @Hopetech @MichelinTyres @Trials_Central Great grimace 😁

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

@MTBMeetupUK @OPALlandegla 3 weeks?!? Holy crap, glad my new bike turned up!!!

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

New bike day led to three rides in 24 hours. Bring it on! I am STOKED to be back on the bike 😁

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

What's that? New bike day? Well it'd be rude to not go for a sunset spin on the local trails to celebrate huh?!

[the carbon monkey @thecarbonmonkey]

@MTBMeetupUK You can have 3 vouchers from us for half price private 1to1 skills coaching courses 👍

@snoringdormouse @IOLOutdoorProfs And yet ironically I think those of us who are open about our MH (risking appearing 'weak?') are probably better in work than those hiding their MH (who have the added pressure of keeping up that image)
