It's time to talk about a very sad time in my life. I'm afraid Jeffsy is not more.
I might as well come completely clean. I was full of the cold and jumped in our car not looking on the roof and drove to walk our dogs with my friend Ellen. Not realising Jeff was on the roof I went through a car park barrier. Jeff was fatally injured in the accident. Our car roof and boot had to be replaced also. On another note the barrier was undamaged, I have my home content insurance with the AA the plus one. I have to say they were really good. I had so many updates on Jeff that I couldn't just get the new YT as It would no longer be like for like. So I was given the money to pick My own bike, I loved Jeff and If you want more of a review of jeff I will be happy to post it.
After hours and hours and Days of checking every single bike site comparing all the bikes on the market. I had one deal breaker I wanted a 29er. I looked everywhere from rose bikes to buying the upgraded YT. I knew I wanted something that will last me a few years. I really want to get more confidence. I need a bike capable of not only XC but a wee spin down the Fort William downhill track which I hope I will be able to do this year. As last year's attempt ended in my torn ACL.
