KMB FEBRUARY 2012 NEWSLETTER


LEAP ONTO OUR 29-ERS ON THE 29TH


WHY DON'T YOU COME AND JOIN US TO TEST RIDE A 29-ER?

WHY DON'T YOU COME AND JOIN US TO TEST RIDE A 29-ER?

We've come up with a great way to mark this extra leap year day in 2012! We're busy lining up a mouth-watering selection of the latest amazing 29'er mountain bikes for you to test ride between 11am and 8pm. It goes without saying that the wonderful Lakeland Pedlar will offer warm hospitality and nourishment to mark such an auspicious occassion. We're mighty happy that TREK, SPECIALIZED and CANNONDALE have all confirmed they will be joining us to celebrate all things 29'er.
Still unsure about this wierd 29'er carry on? Think it's all a load of codswallop by manufacturers trying to flog bikes? Well, this is your opportunity to try them out. Here's some helpful facts to give your thoughts a head start: 29 ers have a 29" wheel rather than a 26" and they're not just for the taller person. FASTER: larger wheels maintain greater momentum. SMOOTHER; bigger wheels roll over obstacles with less effort. CONFIDENCE INSPIRING; greater stability due to longer wheelbase. With Whinlatter, Latrigg and Glenderaterra on our doorstep, we are sure you will come to gain true understanding and appreciation of this new MTB gold standard. Hot drinks and soup/chilli will be available throughout the day for all you hungry and thirsty 29'er converts! There you go, another un-missable event from KMB!


TERRIFIC TRAILQUEST TOO & LAST MINUTE VENUE CHANGE


EVENING TRAILQUEST KESWICK 29/02/2012

KMB Team Rider, Chris Hope, will be in charge for this event. The Trailquest leagues have now come under the national umbrella of British Mountain Bike Orienteering and offer outstanding riding and fun for all abilities. Map reading skills are a bonus but not absolutely essential and everybody has a good time knocking off the points or just getting horribly lost. Most day events are around three hours and evening events normally around half that time.
You can register to become a member of the BMBO free of charge and gain access to a truly comprehensive range of events nationally.
