So it's pretty obvious that I work as an MTB guide for a living, so you'd probably expect that going out on my bike would be the last thing I'd want to do when I get a day off, but I still love to ride and ride free of responsibility for anyone other than myself when I'm not riding for "work".

To keep things interesting, I often ride for pleasure with a particular purpose. To try a new trail or tweak an existing one, to try a new bike or just catch up with friends. But this weekend I decided to go out and try to make a little video that wasn't all from on-board footage as I have done on previous videos.

So here is the result for your delight. Don't worry, it's only 1 minute long so you wont be loosing a big chunk of time from your life!

Escape from the Sofa! from Lavatrax on Vimeo.

A short (VERY!) flick from my ride this evening. It gave me the motivation to escape the clutches of the sofa and get out and ride on my day off.

Shot entirely on my phone (HTC Legend) so please excuse the picture quality!
