My local cycling club is thinking of heading over to cannock chase to do some more technical riding than what we currently do.


Although I am a little worried as I only have a rigid, and dont think I have the bike skill all the balls to be able to control one on the trails, so think I need a bike with suspension, or think about hiring a bike when I am there. Hiring is expensive mind you with a full susser costing 50 smackers for the day.

Cheers
Steve
