yes 100 miles in one activity took me 9h 45 min with 7h 30min on the move.

 

[The Hodge]

Well done ..thats quite an achievment ..healing vibes for your rear end !?

 

[Doomanic]

yes 100 miles in one activity took me 9h 45 min with 7h 30min on the move.

What were you doing for the 2hrs not moving? Rubbing some circulation back into your butt cheeks?

Stoping at red light/crossings, lunch break and a lot of thinking of what the hell are you doing...

Bike kingdom Switzerland.

Is there a video to this, it looks nuts. Kudos.

 

[Mcharza]

Those were too big for me. Rampage stickers doesn't help at all ?

 

[B1rdie]

No too much more difficult to keep going

Than it was to get here

I lifted the bike to the left and rolled through the line bellow that tree where nala is…

Trip to Whinlatter today with my wife...

She did 18 miles around the Blues (great effort) and I did 21 miles, starting on the Blues as a loosener and then Altura loops, both North and South.

At Degla today. Pissing down to start with

Drying up nicely now, unfortunately I’m here instead…

Not for me, I hasten to add, but @JetSetDemo had an unscheduled dismount on a berm and has broken his collarbone.

Crap. That sucks. I take it he was stuck behind you and couldn't get any natural pace and rhythm going ? ?

 

[Pigin]

“Pissing down”. That sounds like it should be at least a black run.

??. Healing vibes as they say

 

[Doomanic]

Update: collarbone in three pieces and a broken finger as well.

 

[Zimmerframe]

I guess he could have been stuck behind you and with your newly muscular buttocks, leaving him distracted and confused about his whole future ?

Or suddenly realised what an bad idea it had been buying his Shimano bike instead of a Bosch bike, so went all Pro footballer and savagely threw himself to the ground rather than carry on ?

Most likely he was eating ice cream again, got brain freeze, fell over broke collar bone and broke his little finger because he was holding it out in his gentrified ice cream eating pose ?

 

[Sherman]

Have a very nice summer everyone!

 

[The Hodge]

Get well soon JSD..

Ouch.

In the few weeks since Ive ridden locally mother nature sure has been busy ..I wouldnt have believed before I set out from home this morning that I was going to get such a thrashing from overgrown branches nettles & thistles ..
I went to check out some bridleways which I hadnt ridden for a while ..in some cases a couple of years ..and unfortunately some look to have been lost for good due to seedling trees taking hold ..but the biggest surprise was a section of clear felled ( inc a bridleway) which I had ridden earlier this year and was now closed ..
Against the threat of death I had to have a look ..and it looks as if its going to be re-instated once the work has finished ..but is in a bit of a mess right now and un- rideable .
Not all doom and gloom ..still a good ride out but totally thrashed & soaked ..

Roughside bothy ..I heard voices but didnt investigate ☠?

The start of the bridleway from Allerybank to Pundershaw...after the first climb ..this ..

Had to have a look though ..and wished I hadnt ..

The green bits are the course of the b/ way so hopefully it will be tidied up ..

This looks to be a lost cause though ..

The trouble is with 250 sq miles of forest its difficult to keep on top of every track when there are so few of us riding them..?

I think you guys/gals are professional photographers with an eMTB hobby …or you live in paradise. All these pictures are great.
Really nice pictures and amazing history.

I’ve got a picture of a frog and an owl ? ?

 

[Slymobi]

Managed to avoid the wet weather too

 

[Zimmerframe]

Bejezus - what version of windows is that ?

Oh no, that's not right is it ..

Bejezus - How the hell did he do that ? Did you throw his bike at him to try and get two ice creams ?

If that wasn't bad enough, he's stuck with you there trying to make him feel worse better.

Try showing him this and tell him the great news - it's not as bad as it could be, he could be as broken as his bike ... with a bit of luck he's delirious enough not to notice it's nothing like his bike (couldn't find one the right colour, sorry). You might also have to explain to him he was unconscious for a while and it's December now, that's why there's snow - but the best news is it's his birthday tomorrow and you've bought him some new pedals and the hospital staff have agreed you can bring a sheep in for 15 minutes.

I think it’s the Swiss tourist board photoshopping ebikes onto stock photos. Ahhh, show us the picture of the frog and the owl?

Just looked up Jetsetdemo's broken santa, quite an interesting story !

Santa Cruz Bronson damaged by ax up for sale

The ax doesn't lie. We don't know the whole story but this caught our attention today. A mountain biker from central New Jersey put his beautiful green carbon fiber Santa Cruz Bronson up for sale on Craigslist. You can see the full ad here. The original ad from New Jersey. The thing is the...

A crazy ex girlfriend with an Axe.

Let this be a reminder to us all. After a ride when you get home and you say "I love you" to your bike. Make sure you say it loud enough that your OH might think you're saying it to them.

 

[Doomanic]

Ahhh, show us the picture of the frog and the owl?

Yeah! All those pictures of beautiful views I will never visit get a bit too much after a while. On the other hand, there's a very good chance I will get to see a frog soon given how much it's rained here...

 

[steve_sordy]

When I see @etoni 's pics, I find it amazing that they can be taken on a mobile phone. Professional photographers of only a few years ago would be astonished.
