What a grand summertime it has been. We went on an impressive mountain bike ride through the Sequoias. It was an impressive trip, but began with the exhausting drive. I had my bike on the back of the car and equipment all packed up the night before. I left work early Thursday and started the drive alone. I was on a race against time as I was supposed to meet my buddies at the top of the mountain road, marked by a picnic table, at 8pm. I knew my window of opportunity was about 30 minutes. If I didnt make it in time, they would come back the next day to find me. This means if I was too late, I would end up sleeping in my car alone that night.

Turns out I made it through traffic and up the hill in time to unhook my bike, crack open a beer and mtn bike ride up and down a couple of little hills before dark and before my buddies would arrive. The air was crisp and I was excited to be away from the city. My Santa Cruz Heckler was in tip top shape and ready to tear up some rails and free riding, fresh out of the shop. Friends arrived beers in hand and ready to show me where the campsite was.

Our mountain bike ride started early and we were ready with big packs stuffed with plenty of food and water. The first crank up the big hill was ridiculously long. We pedaled over 10 miles uphill, that took over 2hrs. Making it to the summit was spectacular. We took a break and sipped some water from our stainless steel water bottles.

The rest of the day was spent busting tricks, hitting logs and enticing each other to go big. A couple of breaks were in order throughout the day where we drank a bit of booze and shared treats we had packed away. The terrain was amazing and just right for some summertime riding. There was a bit of ice still left on the ground from the spring melt. The temperature was perfect, not too hot, not too cold.

It’s the fourth week in June so that means just one thing. Wimbledon is present! It’s the 14 days in the yr where people will find their tennis rackets, find their whitest whites and game the foreseeable rain to rehearse their serve and volley. Man and Van Wimbledon is committed to giving out the most capable and value for money service accessible even when SW19 occupied with tourists. Man and Vans, London’s premier light removal service, is grounded in South West London and genuinely likes assisting its neighbors with any light removals they might have. Man with Van Wimbledon could be too tied up to brave the courts this summer but here at Man and Vans headquarters we’re extremely overexcited about Wimbledon’s new Centre Court Ceiling. Although Man and Van Wimbledon will work in the rainfall, Rafael, Roger and Andy have never been too ready to face heavy rain. Fortunately this summer there’ll be no need for Cliff Richards’ services as, from the 17th May, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Association has been using its new retractable roof. Health and Safety tests on the court were conducted by the tennis heroes Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Tim Henman and Kim Clijsters, who took part in an exhibition game of mixed doubles as the typically British rain dabbed the roof as it retracted.
