Pic of the Day
- Thread starter Kilham5
- Start date
Helens Tower et al, Bangor N Ireland a couple of hours ago.
Gosh! Another fine day out on trails that had everything - snow, ice, mud and a lot of very cold water.
Very cold and very sunny pootle which also proved I was a bit premature in removing my mud guard. And shorts weren’t a good idea either.
Still, it was a grand day out during which I broke the 500 miles point on the Rise and I have to say Ive thoroughly enjoyed them all.
As per tradition, I stopped for a coffee and bun on my way home. Bliss.

A lot of folk live to see your scrumptious cycling food , the bike pics are just a bonus. You need a ugly Mudhugger on that bike .
Just a suggestion …pull up your socks. Way too much skin showing.
I took it off last week! Dont really like them even though the latest MH works brilliantly, but I would have been glad of it today.
Trousers are back on from today.Just a suggestion …pull up your socks. Way too much skin showing.

I strongly dislike the feeling of trousers when cycling so even when snow I'll probably wear shorts and some nice long kneepads

Yogi deposit!Loving those snow capped peaks in the distance ...
So if I've got this right ..its a waterfowl conservation area" Ducks Unlimited" have contributed ..underwritten by Coors " one of a kind " shotgun programme ..so basically they can live protected on that site ..to be blasted out of the sky at a later date when they move on ..?
I find that a little ironic ..or am I completely wrong ?
By the way has Yogi left a deposit on the road ..
here’s one and a couple pictures of the culprits we often encounter around here. Nothing to worry about they seem to have a preference for joggers and hikers.
Fantastic winter ride in the Tweed Valley with @The EMF & @Richywalker64 ..
Apparently when I did a weather check last night with a relative of the missus who happens to live in Innerleithen ..asking specifically about the amount of snow on the hills ..it was mostly gone although there had been a lot there that morning ..
Oh yeah ..must be snowblind as the main ground condition was snow & ice ...grrr!
Anyway it didn't seem to deter my two mates who were on fire ..recording speeds in excess of 30mph on the downs ..
My fun however was curtailed by the conditions and taking too much notice of the very local weather report ..no fault but my own ..
So ..note to self : When you have gone to the trouble of buying a brand new tyre for the rear and have had plenty of time to fit it over the last few days ..don't be a lazy fuckin arsehole and risk one more ride on a nearly bald one while the new one is keeping warm indoors and then wonder why you're riding like a novice
That apart still really enjoyed the day ..
Another one gone ..on to the next!

Yikes, I don’t like the look of their horns. They look tame but i wouldn’t try to cross that bridge at the same time.
along the same theme, here’s who we often encounter road biking in the spring. Fortunately they are usually uninterested.
Yes I waited a while for the coos to cross the bridge. They are placid creatures but if they tweet them horns a metre wide stand aside.
Not sure about Highland Cow breed ? but not heard anyone shouting about Bear meat either.
Great ride out today high above the Tweed Valley on probably the last winter with @The Hodge and @Richywalker64 . Loads of snow, ice and mud even more fun…..
Great craic and bring on the next ride

Very keen.
you would have loved it Phil ,Very keen.
very little wind and not that cold…..it would have been worth the drive to see @The Hodge trying to ride steep downs on only what could be described as a semi slick back tyre….but fair play to him he managed

Did a nice 40km loop around the port hills in Christchurch NZ. Great to get a day with so little wind.
Stayed off the beans at breakfast, good man!
