However since then the 29er has done little more than gather dust as I didn't expect the fat bike to be so much fun or so fast, I'm not a race person but ended up doing three endurance races and four CX races on it last year including my first Puffer: If I had to pick a favourite of my bikes, it would probably be the 2015 Trek Farley 6 which is a rigid 4in fat bike that I bought as a winter bike to deal with the slippy, muddy conditions over winter leaving the 29er as a summer bike.

I was getting very into my mountain biking so decided on a new bike and my most expensive one, I took part in my first 24 hour race on this one and my first CX race on the 2014 Trek Fuel 29er - a hugely capable full suspension bike with 120mm travel front and rear, immensely quick cross country and flexible bike:

Wanting to extend my road range, I picked up a road bike - a 2013 Trek 1.5, fairly standard road bike but nothing fancy and clocked up many miles with it including going all the way round Loch Ness which was my longest cycle at the time: I wanted something hassle free so this hybrid appealed to me thanks to its disc/drum brakes, hub gears and carbon belt which ran great - this is 2011 Trek Soho Deluxe:Īfter finding I liked cycling I joined a new local MTB group to take my cycling further and bought an ex-hire 2012 Trek 4900 Disc - fairly standard hardtail but decent parts and ran well: I only got properly into cycling recently thanks to what I thought was a failing turbo on my Octavia and the DPF, decided I needed to stop doing short journeys and start cycling instead.
