The Wrekin /ˈriːkᵻn/ is a hill in east Shropshire, England. It is located some five miles (8 km) west of Telford, on the border between the districts of Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin. Rising to a height of 1,335 feet (407 metres) above the Shropshire Plain, it is a prominent and well-known landmark, signalling the entrance to Shropshire for travellers westbound on the M54 motorway. The Wrekin is contained within the northern panhandle of the Shropshire Hills AONB. The hill is popular with walkers and tourists and offers good views of Shropshire. It can be seen well into Staffordshire and the Black Country, and even as far as the Beetham Tower in Manchester, Winter Hill in Lancashire and Cleeve Hill in Gloucestershire.
The earliest mention of the Wrekin (pronounced locally as REE-KIN) occurs in a charter of 855, as entered in a late 11th century Worcester cartulary, spelled Wreocensetun. Its modern form is believed to have come into modern English by way of Mercian, and that is likely to have been taken from the early Celtic word Wrikon. It is presumed to be etymologically related to the Latin name for the town of Viroconium Cornoviorum (modern Wroxeter; the Cornovii were the Brittonic tribe inhabiting the area), related to similar sounding names such as Wrexham (a charter of 1236 refers to this place as Wrectesham) which was also part of the northwestern edge of the Cornovii Kingdom.

Продолжаем покорять ласточку. Скил немного подрос. Пугает правда то, что даже на не самых адских вылетах вилка работает на 100%. есть мнение что проблема в прокладке между рулем и сиденьем.

Here is a short video of my 2012 Yeti ASR-5 with a Fox Float 32 140mm fork. I run my fork with 35mm of sag because I like the small bump compliance. You can see that it still takes larger hits well, but uses most of the travel. The brake dive is a downside of the increased sag, but adjustment of my riding style and weight distribution while descending can lessen that effect.

The moments turn to hours
And the hours turn to days
And I've seen so many lost ones pass away
And they're gone
Yes, they're gone
They are gone to stay
The hill sides are so lovely
In their springtime fine array
But I've seen too many flowers fade away
And they're gone
Yes, they're gone
They are gone to stay
The lovers pass by my window
Never caring if they stray
But I've seen so many lovers lose their way
And they're gone
Yes, they're gone
They are gone to stay
