Best event of the year? There's no doubt in my mind it's MTBMeetup, if you've not been yet you need to get the date in your diary, but first give them a vote facebook.com/thecarbonmonkey…

Back on my bike at @OPALlandegla today, can't believe I have to wait another 51 weeks before the next @MTBMeetupUK - gives me time to plan even more coaching sessions for next year though (who fancies an intro to bikepacking on the Friday night)

What's that? New bike day? Well it'd be rude to not go for a sunset spin on the local trails to celebrate huh?! – at Penmaenmawr, Wales

It'd be nice if they'd support their customers as well and pay out on their insurance policies in line with their contracts xitter.cf/KentonCool/status/9841… – at Penmaenmawr, Wales
Well it’s departure time for #Everest2018. It’s my 13th expedition to the mountain and I hope my 13th summit....thank you to @Allianz for their continued support in making the impossible possible.
It's always a sad day when you sell a bike, especially one this beautiful - but I'm glad it's gone to someone who will ride it and love it

Goretex, five tens and bib shorts are not my preferred combination of riding clothes, so this can only mean one thing - I'm off into the hills on a rainy day to scout new routes for you lucky so and so's to join me on when the sun comes out to play this summer

Hey @BadgerLlandegla - you got a decent e-bike I could demo for a day / weekend on one of my regular guided routes in Snowdonia? – at Islington, London
