Pic of the Day

[The EMF]

North Pennines today with @The EMF & Jaco ..a pretty stiff wind made it hard going from the off with things not in our favour until the last leg over Bolts Law ..
Starting in Edmundbyers but heading out towards Hisehope Resevoir and joining the C2C ( motorway ..in terms of easy riding ) with a cafe stop at Parkend to break the monotony a drop down to Rookhope then a steep climb out to join up with the Bolts Law bridleway back down to the start ..another enjoyable ride cheers to Jaco for the Latte & Wayne for the pint at the end ..

Cheers lads..

Great ride out, can’t believe how dry the trails were for the middle of Feb.
Love the Bolts Law trail back to Edmonbyers………every foot of it ( oops showing my age, Metre of it )

Ride profile of todays ride in the North Pennines with @The Hodge and Jaco,
No pics as none as good as Neil’s.
A 10 mile climb into a stiff westerly wind is hard work even on my Great Whyte.

Nice to get a bike run and not have to wash bike ,cracking day . Plus found a pair of Pogies these have been lying at the mouth of the river Spey for a couple of weeks now so they had their chance to come back for them . Been thinking of buying a pair for my Kayak for a while now fit me perfectly as well.

I’m not sure what “a pair of Pogies” are?
Are they like WaterWings?

Helens Tower, Bangor, N Ireland just now.

Trails have dried out really well and are riding rather nicely.

A cold but dry and extremely enjoyable pootle today. Bliss.

They attach on to a paddle with velcro and you just slip your hand in and out . A type of glove really.

Gloves which fasten onto a Kayak paddle shaft. They keep your hands warm whilst maintaining your hand to paddle grip.

Yes that's correct. And if you need to do anything fiddly you just slip hand out and back in again easier that taking gloves off and on .

Also used in the farming fraternity on quad bikes..

Those tan grips look so nice with the decal and frame

Yepp, just wonder if that is 4 ft bar?

Just a boring pic from our ride to and around Kingley Vale, West Sussex, on a 12C bluebird February day.

Thanks, they’re PNW grips. I’m trying to brighten the bike up because it was very dull black on black when I bought it.

Yepp, just wonder if that is 4 ft bar?

IKR, they look massive. I think they’re 800mm/2.6ft

Beautiful but i wouldn't want to be there when you scratch it . I hate seeing a grown man cry .

Lord Wardens, Bangor, N Ireland earlier today.

Another perfect day for a ride - cold but sunny and dry. Trails continue to dry out and today was 20 miles of fun.

Visited Trail Builders HQ and thought about trying a jump or two. That thought lasted a nano second before I caught myself on. As usual its a lot lot steeper than the pic suggests.

Visited the local fairy but they didnt answer their bell.

And as tradition dictates we adhered to strict nutrition intake.

A grand day out.

Sry, I don’t see anything appetizing there at all…nope. And that clotted cream thing(throws-up in mouth)is a joke, right?

Here’s some Poutine. It’ll save the day. I’d stop for Poutine.

There's no way I'd be Poutine that in my mouth half way around a ride ...

Let’s both agree that we’re weird …but you’re really weird. I’m gonna brush my teeth
