Pic of the Day

[UnreasonableMuppet]

Hope it was not the same tree.

Target fixation? Been there done that. It's embarrassing.

This was the first one. Tagged tree A with the bar, and that sent me into tree B.

Tree A remembers me.

I was going close to the max assist speed when this happened.

The second one was off a jump where line choice is critical and the landing is a bit blind. Wasn't going too fast, so a tuck and roll saved me from any harm.

Fair thump you gave the tree to take the bark off . Lucky your not seriously hurt.

In the New Forest, Hampshire UK, came across this fallen tree which we had to somehow get around. Took a pic of my wife Angie in front of it to give an idea of scale. Think these trees were originally planted to provide masts for ships in days of old.

Pipeline was the first North Shore trail we ever rode. It was rated as a Blue with Black features back then. It scared the crap out of us! It still has its rough sections.

TNT /Cabin Trail has been upgraded in the last few years since we last rode. It offers a warning to those who want to ride the several very difficult unsanctioned trails that come off of it. As we made our way down it today, we were surprised with how many challenging rock rolls had been added. On my first attempt at this one, I didn't quite make the S curve required to hit the transition, caught my foot on the large curvy root and went OTB.

Yeah, but what's his side of the story ...

I slithered 2km's today in the heat and then this feckin Unicorn - YES - A FECKIN UNICORN came along on a bike designed to kill snakes, it had THREE wheels ! THREE ! Who needs a bike with THREE wheels ! That's two for riding and one for kill'in - I thought I was a gonna for sure.

I'd only just dodged the massive hole in the road she made last time she tried to headbutt poor Sam the Scorpion when he was trying to cross the road.

Just want to add that there were broken branches laid across many trails, far more than off trail. A widespread strategy of walkers and their dogs (often members of the ramblers association) to try to discourage mountain bikers.

Finding a lot of people nowadays not keen on bikes , some moan if you don't ring a bell to warn your behind them. Some give you a glour if you do ring your bell . Not all walkers though. If I can give a wide berth without warning I do that.

 

[RustyMTB]

Whoop. Night rides are back. Out chasing the ladies around tonight.

 

[Binhill1]

Winter is coming . Out today definitely need a bit more respect for the slippery roots and rocks . Wash the bike and everything else time again I'm afraid.

We had a sunny day in May 19 you must have just missed it . That's one of my regular rides along the coast from Buckie and up the side of the Spey to monster trails then home 27 miles it can be varied a fair bit.
