trio,
i know what you mean about being quicker round lee quarry on geared it is a funny place in terms of ascents / descents. especially if your racing against geared, but that is pretty obvious isn't it? but beating geared bikes must be a complete thrill and attention getter.
greg,
i'm pretty lucky really, i like my own company and prefer to go out on my own, meet people on the way, have a quick chat, sometimes a beer. i find if i go out in company there's a bit too much of a macho thing going on, whilst there is nothing wrong in that, i just prefer to challenge myself, that way no-one will laugh when i make a complete arse of myself trying new stuff or anyone to moan when i keep trying over and over again to do new stuff till i get it right. so you can probably see why ss is perfect for me, less stress, more time to enjoy "brain free mtbing" (i read this somewhere and it sums up ss for me)
