That would make a certain amount of sense. However I don't
ride purely off road. I ride around 150 miles a week on road
on offroad tyres as training[1] or a 100 odd road and 50 odd
offroad. So most of my miles are road miles[2].
You've also reminded my that I must get that website
finished properly and put all the mtbing and motorcycling
stuff up. Ta.
[1] Must get my slicks fitted to my spare wheels, really.
[2] Aren't too many mountains in Birmingham.
