Pic of the Day

I'm not surprised he turned around ..that hairstyle of yours is pretty scary ...

And you need to put a bit of weight on.......you don't look well.

Not much of a view but there’s lots of abandoned trails. I’ve been working on this one since last year. Bridge day. View attachment 89223 View attachment 89226 View attachment 89225
Then I had a visitor. Same guy that took my pac, tools and iPhone last year. (All found btw but my pac was destroyed). Roughly the same spot too. Too close to the bear and too far from the iPhone. He’s bigger this year (500+lbs) but he changed his direction once he saw me (note my artistic impression). View attachment 89224
15m is close enough! He turned around when I started another starring contest and waved my arms. Thank goodness .

You guys reckon Australia is bad for wildlife i would prefer any snake or spider to a bear or mountain lion

in the UK the midgies eat us alive on the trails, but we’ll keep our midgies and you guys can keep your bears, lions, snakes & spiders

Well TG ..there is still a debate ongoing as to whether a small number of Lynx should be re-introduced into Kielder ..I'm all for it !
Meeow ..
Wolves have also been mentioned

I really wish my iPhone was closer. This guy was big. But that aside, he was in really good shape (ie. fur, weight etc.). I may have won the stare-down this time but I don’t want a close game like this again. We usually ride with bells in these areas (jingle-bells attached on the bar) to give fair warning to anything on the trail, but the jogger wearing a white sweat-band and ear-pods is the worst.

There’s no Grizzly ’s in the area yet, cougars last year, but the bugs are extra bad this year. Brush my teeth after every ride .

I may have embellished the amount of hair but I like this style. With 2 hairs left I can still part-in-the-middle also. My hair was probably on fire when Yogi showed up so l wanted to exercise my artistic FreeDuuum!

You did well ..my missus is a hairstylist and she was very impressed with that look..so much so that she has promised...err I mean threatened to try it out on my next cut
I'm going to have to tread very carefully for a couple of weeks ..

The question everyone's been asking ... what does a bounty look like if you use it as low impact body armour ..

Okay …so that’s not real body armour right? Or maybe I don’t understand your culture.

Piecing it all together for you ..the Bounty in this instance is a Chocolate & Coconut confection which has been in Zimmerframe 's shorts(?) pocket as a mid ride snack but as he doesn't like its chunkiness he deliberately baled from his bike ..( again).. thereby squashing it so he could break it into more manageable bits..the fact that he might also have broken a few bones along the way doesn't seem to deter him from these random acts of self inflicted violence
At least that's how I'm reading it ...

Got it! …Thanks. Probably similar to an “Eat More” bar…which is my favourite btw.
I will paste these all over my body for added protection while riding

…good tip

Jungle Formula -Max Strength. Keeps them away so that they eat your unprotected mates instead.

Smidge or Stichfrei are both better ..

Might have been deliberately positioned in his shorts to try and impress the ladies?

It's warming up in the desert south of the Grand Canyon, and the Giants Saquaros are starting to bloom.. even though it was struck by lightning sometime in the past, and the top of the main trunk has been blown off, it is still trying to survive...
