My family and I only met James once at the scott 24 hour but I had him pass me many times on the track in various events. He was on all those occasions and through his work on Enduro a friendly and motivating influence on me, my wife and my kids- we will all miss him Ben

Speaking of sweaty tales- i did the Angry Doctor 100ker the other week and it was pretty hot- around 30-31 degrees. Felt pretty ordinary for most of it. When I finished I had a 2-3mm deep layer of salt on most of my face- It was then that i realised I had not drunk enough sports drink as i...

I am sure there will be a "BIG" custard and Brocolli at the race dispensing these vital nutrients to all and sundry- if only GU could put together a combination gel? Food for thought!

Surely we can keep this thread going with some of the many tales from the sweat zone. Maybe we can all contribute to a regular newsletter? Possible titles; Crust Weekly, Moist Monthly, Salt Stain Times or my favourite; Sodium Chloride Chronicle! keep up the perspiration Sweatman

I have no experience of the Kona but Have now given the the Trance X0 a pretty good ride around the place on single track, fire trail and road. it weighs in just under 12kgs and I raced it in a 20k cross country race and it felt better and i rode faster than I did on my 2006 trance (14kgish)...

Trance XO I just picked up my new 2008 X Zero. I have only ridden it for about one and half hours only on steep up and down single track. Its as agile as a cat on descents and rips uphill like a mountain goat. I really did not want to get off the thing. I had forgotten how good it can be...
