The Fly
After having real problems with my back last year, it has been giving me a bit of gip again this year. Once I had completed my Highland Games season I had a few twinges but nothing that was stopping me, onto my first Cyclo-Cross race I started well and was leading the race until I made a mistake falling on my right side which twisted me round. If this was the start of my trouble's or added to it I don't know.
I was going on holiday for a week which should have been a relaxing time and then coming back to get back to the Cross racing in earnest, instead my back got worse until the end of the week at times causing me to limp. Fast forward to now and I have been getting physiotherapy every week to get my mobility better. At the moment I am feeling a lot better but not 100% yet.
Anyway I am back to getting out on the bike and feeling I can push on a bit more. Today I had a great run out on my Fly which was great fun but was freezing leading to my feet feeling like blocks of ice at the end.

New Superfly
Here is my new Superfly which I have just received and I am setting up ready for the first outing. The Superfly is as stock apart from the Hope Mini Pro Brakes (160mm/front)(140mm/rear)and the Inform Bontrager saddle, after a quick car park test the bike feels good so I can't wait to get on the dirt with it.

Gary Fisher 'Hi-Fi Carbon Pro'
After a lot of tarmac talk with the new Madone I think it was about time to get a bit dirty with some new models in the Gary Fisher/Trek stable for 08.
Starting point is this kick ass beauty from the man Fisher which for a 5in travel bike only weighs a claimed 23.3pound or 10.6kg in real money.
If you are thinking in doing a bit of cross country racing either short track or marathon stylee then this bike must be near the top of your list.
I have ridden Gary Fisher bikes for a good few years now and won the 2002 X-Country Champs and Series on a Sugar race bike which the Hi-Fi takes a lot from in terms of design cues. Something that is lighter than my old full on race bike pushing 5in of travel is going to be some ride, roll on that Fisher feeling!
