Disclaimer

Cycling is a dangerous activity which can result in serious injury or death. All cyclists are responsible for their own safety and must decide for themselves if they are a competent cyclist for the event they attend, cyclists must assess the level of risk for themselves before and during any event, and must not put other people at risk. No assessment of a cyclist's competence is made by the ride leader. Individuals must be able to assess obstacles and decide whether they have the skill to safely ride them. If an individual isn't sure whether they have sufficient skill to ride any section of the ride then they should walk it to avoid injury. All cyclists must wear a helmet and take responsibility for disclosing any relevant medical conditions, allergies and emergency contact details to the ride leader before each event.

Best padded shorts / lycra

My brother is doing a long road ride later this year, can anyone recommend some decent padded shorts / lycra?

Favourite MTB Tyre?

Anyone got a favourite MTB tyre? I have used Panaracer Cinder 2.25s for years, but couldn't find anywhere to buy replacements. I am thinking of Maxxis High Rollers 2.35 or Intense CC 225 X3
Any opinions?
