You old timers allready know this but for the fresh ones out there the true path to enlightenment lies within the lair of the Maz.
Its a bit like going to visit Yoda........ ' Hrmmmmm Much to learn of the the living Buell have you young Richard.'
I can't recomend strongly enough to newbies like me how worthwhile a trip to the maz emporium is. There is every bit of buell bling imaginable and the amount of stuff you can learn is just invaluable.

Give it a go :yup:

If your interesred my other big passions are Downhill mountainbike racing (expert class) and climbing, especially ice climbing, this season has been awesome 7 new routes and 3 second ascents to gradeVII on the black ladders which is pretty much in my back garden. Google Mark Baggy Richards Climbing blog.

Done a lot of climbing there myself esp. when I shared a house with Nick Dixon. Done some new routes in the Pass myself some years ago. Black Ladders was awsome this season and a lot of waterfalls in the Berwyns got solid too.
I'm just leading a campaign to get my local crag (Llanymynech) debolted - not making me very popular lOl
Do you know Crispin Waddy and Silvester and the Deinolen crew?
I'm based in Pant, a few miles South of Oswestry.

If it's sunny tomorrow, I might call in for a brew lOl I'll call and let you know beforehand though 8-)

Nice to meet you today :yup:

Your mate with the B50 needs to go on the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital website and check out the Upper Limb Team for a second opinion - I just asked Mrs Adam lOl

David Ford and Katrina Lewis are hand joint surgeons and Cormac Kelly is a shoulder specialist but also dabbles with hands. If his GP won't refer him for a second opinion, then one of these 3 surgeons will see him privately if he contacts them 8-)

We've built two more tracks in bethesda and if your interested we have just built an awesome track at Nant Gwthern which has a now got a race liscense 1st big event in august.
We might well have met before, possibly Foel Gasnach, nanerch Rhaydr or caersws. I ride a black IronHorse Sunday and a black and red 661 suit.
