A sub24 dirt run, Dover return via the Southern Forests May 14\/15 (shoot me an email if you want to come along). Initial thoughts on the bike? Big. Burly. Point and shoot. May have over cooked the wheelset a touch, but hell, I like it. Pics are from a sunset jaunt out to Apex Point, White Beach. Great spot on the hill overlooking the fish farm and across to Roaring Beach, with Mount Wellington in the far distance.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2663 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bottlesandchains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wb2.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bottlesandchains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wb2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bottlesandchains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wb3.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bottlesandchains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wb3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bottlesandchains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wb4.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bottlesandchains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wb4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been lusting after a Salsa Fargo since late 2009..
