Loved the articles and gear reviews this year Andrew. Maybe more than any other year. This is a great point to finish on!

I recently picked up heavily discounted '23 Norco Torrent S2. Personally I've been curious about the geo of these slacked out hardtails but the main reason I grabbed the bike was so I could loan it out to mates who aren't able to commit to owning their own MTB. Last week I headed out for a ride someone I've know for more than 20 years, which is about a decade longer than I've been riding, and it was easily one of the trail highlights of my year. Hoping for more of that in '24!
Cheers
