    Wow! That's a great video. Running off-road on a bike is the most adventurous, challenging, and thrilling moment. I'm glad to see your great channel again. Have a happy end of the year with your family.

      Glad you had fun. From my experience it would have been better to hire a bike and ride out for the day. Turned out to be Soaking Wet gear from the previous day and only Dave (who was miles ahead) with any real enthusiasm. On the plus side the bikes were well maintained and fairly new and the scenery made for a good day out. My feedback for Dave Thorpe would be select your staff carefully and impress on them how important it is for them to communicate with clients. We heard a couple of sentences from Dave before we set out and he disappeared, and hardly a word from his staff until we were back at base :)
