Simon Garstin has a “Video Of the Day”

We love watching video’s, especially on a Monday morning when you really should be edging into your week-load of work. Simon Garstin, one of the Morewood riders who is supported by Lama Cycles gave us a good enough excuse to do so this morning, his video just made the “VOD: Video of the Day” on pinkbike and has already received 17000 views!

EUROBIKE DAY 1

Well Eurobike has officially kicked off for 2009, the Morewood team is a little split up this year with Eurobike and World Champs on the same weekend, Pat [Mr Morewood] is in Australia supporting Nathan Rennie and Mitch Delfs [more to come on that later] while Richard Carter is playing Mr Nice guy with the Euro’s showing off some of the latest Morewood product.

Eurobike is happening
