Watch the Megavalanche race on YouTube ... that is beyond insane.
Actually toyed with entering this about 6 years ago before age brought on a sense of self preservation and I stopped bouncing as well 🤣.

I do miss my mountain biking. The alps in the summer is probably my favourite place to be.

On 25th July, the brother of my eldest son's close friend was cruelly taken from their family in a totally needless stabbing incident at an organised party in Horsham. He was just 17. He was attacked by a 16yr old who was alleged to have been under the influence. The offender is likely to be charged with murder. This story made the national press and has deeply affected our area and my son.

Why is this under this thread? Good question. I just wanted to highlight the amazing response from people regarding the GoFund me page that has raised over £24k in a few weeks for a vital charity =>


It's only when incidents like this become reality, and not just tabloid stories, that it hits home and you see the bad and then the good in the world.

for the first time I really do not know which emoji to post. Chuffed and gutted at the same time.

Incidents like this are shocking to the core. And yes, there are also some exceptionally good people in the world too. Ensuring everyone gets the right support going forward is essential as it can affect people for years.
