Great craic with the lads & many thanks to Dave for the pint in the Hollybush , Greenhaugh after the ride
I must concur with @The Hodge, a great day out. Good that Phil and Dave could join us also. It’s been a few weeks since I was out in the trails. Throughly enjoyed the craic. Thanks for the apres’ Guinness Phill 
Just trying to look windswept & interesting....he was on the windy side of the " shelter " though

A short 20km ride this morning to test out the rebuilt motor and check out some trails.
Crews are going to start road repairs soon.
A good cedar stringer once I cut it.
Had a good laugh
at my attention to detail.
It’s gonna stay like that. Nothing to see here.

Gave the drivetrain a proper clean with foaming drivetrain cleaner and a cassette cleaning brush.
It was making a god-awful racket and I couldn’t work out why.
Now I know.

Mine doesn't stay clean for long but it's nice to see it sparkling occasionally.
Yeah mine was filthy and full of sandy grime
I was out Wednesday but it wasn't that dirty just cleaned and lubed chain. I bought some fancy expensive muck off degreaser it's nearly done already. Not sure if it's really worth it a bucket of soapy water would take longer and probably do the same.

Very windy today the seagulls were flying backwards. Was nearly blown off a few times so about turned. Life boat out for Sunday practice bouncy bouncy, back in when i came past harbour . Other boat Esvagd Alba a Danish boat sheltering from weather ,it's a walk to work boat for people who work on the wind turbines . Last ride for old shimano boots served me well they have , replacements look horrible but are actually quite waterproof. The noise of the yacht rigging is unbelievable only 50 yards from houses do well to sleep through that. Went over bars did a perfect roll only derailleur shifter on bar damaged hopefully threads are OK.
Thanks but I'm still imagining you on the Trek facing backwards scratching your head looking for the handlebars
I thought of installing both cranks at the 6’iclock position on my buddy’s bike.
I’d definitely outperform him on climbs then.
I have the AXS Reverb dropper so I could easily turn the seat around.

I got a bike back from a custom frame maker with pedals in that position never noticed till I got home , or were they both in 12 o'clock positionI thought of installing both cranks at the 6’iclock position on my buddy’s bike.

haha.
Hey …not so fast. I could design a 4 peddle crank that could solve the problem of finding your footing …unless it’s already availableI got a bike back from a custom frame maker with pedals in that position never noticed till I got home , or were they both in 12 o'clock position
. I should Google that.
Along with the two inner tubes idea, you could be on to a winner thereHey …not so fast. I could design a 4 peddle crank that could solve the problem of finding your footing …unless it’s already available
Sizewise these are Stihldogs and Stihldogs wife!?

Are you suggesting that Stihldog is married to an old boot?

I must say that
at nine o clock on the first two pics has been very patient while you set about clearing the trail ..top marks
ThanksI must say that
.A few years ago I had a personal relationship with that big-rock-turtle at the nine o’clock position. At that time it was hidden under some ferns.
I was approaching a group of hikers from behind and decided to avoid them by riding cross-country …easy right?
Until I hit that hidden rock (it’s since moved) with my wheel and began an OTB’s with a mid-air superman flip onto my back. I laid there for a moment, while the audience of 16 hikers gasped, screamed and probably looked away.
So…Mr Nice Guy (me), dusted himself off, checked out the bike, continued my ride. I’m sure someone in the group got a pic of me displaying my anti-gravity skills.
The rock-turtle is still alive …but very very slow.
