Nightrider 12 - Matt's 3rd Place Report
General ArticlesI had the dream again.

it's dusk, it's warm.

I sling my leg over a beautiful black Santa Cruz industries 2000 Superlight .... three red blinking led lights come to life on the headtube..

A prissy anglo-american voice emits from the cunningly hidden speakers... "Good evening Michael- I trust you are well prepared for this evenings occasion?"

"Good evening S.C.I.T.T - well I don't know about ready - I have forgotten my leather jacket, my haircut is wrong, I'm 2 feet too short and my name is not Michael. But if you are referring to the 12 hours worth of nightriding ahead of us then - yes, I am as ready as i'll ever be"

Be "Strong" In The Way of Force....
General Articles
Cross Training/Core Stability To Improve All Round Riding


Disclaimer - Just a short article to share my perspective - I am not a qualified trainer or coach - and would always recommend a qualified trainer to show you how to perform a strength/flexibility program, ok?

For those competitive cyclists out there used to training hard, winter can be a difficult time - poor weather, less racing and the overwhelming consensus by training pundits that the athlete should be easing off the hard work till the new year...

And You Thought We Had Problems With Dog Walkers........


I came across this via Singletraction, from my neck of the woods (or more accurately, my neck of the moors!). Originally I was just going to start a thread, but my thread turned into an essay!

There are a lot of posts/comments, but it's worth reading them just to get really wound up by some of over the top anti MTB posts made by walkers

The original article and posts


and the follow up

What Is The Hardcru?

What is the Epping Hardcru?


The 8 rules of the HardCru

1 - The first rule of the HardCru is, you do not talk about the HardCru.

2 - The second rule of the HardCru is, you DO NOT talk about the HardCru.

3 - If someone says stop, puts a foot down, takes a drink, the rest of the Cru must stop.

4 - One guy to a bike (unless it's a tandem).

5 - One bike at a time (on the singletrack at least).

6 - No helmet, no ride.

7 - Rides will go on as long as there are people still riding.

8 - If this is your first ride with the HardCru, you have to stack.

Name That Singletrack Competition

Name That Singletrack Competition


OK competition time -for new EHC members only (i.e. not Kev/Paul/Mark/Matt C) -a prize (no, there is one really!) to the person with the most points.

Give the reason why the following sections of singletrack are named as they are -some are blindingly obvious, others are completely cryptic. Fractions of the points shown may also be awarded if you get part of the reason -i.e. some have a double reason (Green Blade Rising springs to mind), so full points for getting both elements, half points for getting one of the reasons.

When Animals Attack

When Animals Attack


One week ago, a mountain biker on Theydon Ridge fought off a crazed grey Squirrel that repeatedly charged him until a brave companion drove the animal off with hazeluts.

The rider, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, says he escaped his encounter only through the bravery and foresight of his companion rider. Suffering dirt marks from the squirrels claws on his forearm, a punctured tyre and a dented rim, he says he hopes others learn from the mistakes he made.
Our tips are try to avoid surprising wildlife, always ride with another and always carry hazelnuts. Don't make eye contact, and back away slowly - NEVER RUN!! Brazil nuts are also reported to work, if hazelnuts are not available.

Riding the EHC Way


The HardCru are a collective of like-minded mountain bike riders, linked by our love of mountain biking, good company and most importantly -having a laugh. We try to ride at least twice a week come rain or shine, all seasons.

The best way to experience the forest is to get off the main bridleways and fireroads. Just look out for the tell tale signs of tyre marks heading off down a singletrack path between the trees, and see where you end up.
