I take a bite and my front bridge work (already coming loose) came out completely. So now I have two of my front teeth missing! I turn to show her and there was a little blood. She faints, falls sideways, bangs her head off her bike and knocks herself unconscious! :eek:


Holy cow! The poor girl probably realized what she would be staring at, across the breakfast table, in another forty years. Hope she's recovered.

Evening ride with our local women’s group, the Doña Ana She Wolves. As usual, I’m the only ebike around. Yes, that’s my fat ass leaning on the red and black Trek.

You tensed up enough to give yourself cramp??? ?
Never had that happen during a ride or that bad. Strange. I guess it was getting on in the day. Did 2 laps of the first trail that was ez to find then that happened on the other trail but it was hard to find and i climbed probably 5km/2000ft above the enterance looking for it looking in every logging road. Came back down and found it up an overgrown logging road with my battery somewhere in the last bar. A bit tired but not bad but that, the pucker factor and the remoteness got in my head and thus my leg. Potassium shortage? Idk. Made it, it went away and was a good trail. Went around a couple sketchy gaps so ill have to go back for a lap or 3 on it soon

Let me spin a small yarn...

On Saturday, my wife and I decided to go up to Gisburn Forest for a ride - she would do the Blue and me the Reds (The Eight circuit). Well Bank Holiday traffic meant the motorway was at a standstill so we went across country and saw some lovely parts of rural Lancashire but got to Gisburn OK, if a little longer than anticipated.

My wife says, I've not had much breakfast, lets have the sandwiches now. She packed some for the end of our ride before we set off.

OK, we unload the bikes, go and sit at a picnic table and start on our wholemeal wraps.

I take a bite and my front bridge work (already coming loose) came out completely. So now I have two of my front teeth missing! I turn to show her and there was a little blood. She faints, falls sideways, bangs her head off her bike and knocks herself unconscious! :eek:

I'm trying to get her to come round, which she eventually does, not knowing where she is or what happened.o_O

Manage to get her and the bikes back to the car and go back home...

So lost a day's biking and have no front teeth! :(

Not all lost as the Red Arrows came over on their way back to Scampston from their show at the Isle of Man.

Went back on Sunday and did Gisburn on my own. Wife still a bit woozy...

Check out the Footage thread for a small excerpt with an innocuous OTB at the end (less than 2 mins)...
Great feeling though to know you can still make the ladies swoon ...??

A few pics from Cairngorm and Macdui riding out and back from the doorstep last weekend
Single battery, 4% left.
Riding with friends on acoustic bikes, hence the ride time.

An ancient spring in the woods :

Put phone back on clamp but didn't tighten properly .. snuck off for a moments relief and watched as the bike fell over into the spring - fortunately landing on the rocks, but the phone fell off and sank ..

By some miracle .. it still works, for now anyway .. so straight after - part of the spring trail ..
