Last weekend was a scorcher. The best part of 1000 riders faced the heat and trails of the North Yorkshire Moors to compete at the Ard Moors enduro.
Ard Moors is a six stage enduro race up and down some of the best trails North East England has to offer.

My new Cotic Soul is almost complete. The chain needs to be shortened by a couple of links and I need to stick my other wheelset on.
For the sake of completeness I also weighed it – 28lbs.
