Pic of the Day

[The EMF]

Thank you headmaster.

Could be weeks before I'm riding again, I'm relying on you to keep my pecker up.

Laugh………I nearly passed me fags round

 

[Tubby G]

They took it all off ?

Does this help ? One of my chopper ...

It's Pic of the Day ! People post all sorts of mad crap .... Showers, animals, art ...

Pictures of your charger, poised, ready, lethal - ready to get back to business ....

Maybe you've created something with superglue and the toe nails you've torn off with your teeth in moments of boredom .. like a mini Eiffel Tower ?

I'll get you started .. Old water tank to bbq/firepit in a day ..

Get a knackered water tank.	Carefully and slowly cut it ..... ;-)	I wanted it to be two directional but also catch the smoke as it's under cover.
Shape the off cuts to make a fire bed and deflector plate.	Find a chimney port from an old fire.	Sand it .. LOTS .. Paint it. light it. drink. abuse forum members.

It's very shiny ....

I'm wondering when the mods will have to split the thread out to a new one called "Innuendo Bingo"

Went to Tarland trails 2 . Just opened last week pretty impressive well made. Not what I expected to be honest lots of berms and there's lots of berms. Lots of people there . I’ll be back.

 

[The Hodge]

Lots of people there . I’ll be back.

Looks like there could be a good few more joining you ..( there is a dedicated post for this on the site )

Only heard about it a week ago . Guy that guided us round been there for past 8 days. Smooth trails not much rocky bits. Only hour and a quarter from me . Managed 20 miles on battery 3800 ft climbing.

3800ft of climbing is a fair amount in only an hour and a quarter. Were you going right to the top, then all the way down, and back again ?

I think he means travelling time Steve

Oh yeah doh, misread! Haven’t got my glasses on

 

[Binhill1]

3 hours on trails but met a few folks that my friends knew so lost an hour talking I reckon . Mission control didn't work for first half hour I probably didn't press start so not exact times

@Ark Don't take things to heart. You could easily take his comments a different way and respond accordingly.

when people post double or triple full stops usually it's a sign or sarcasm, but yea I should have game them the
benefit of doubt.
Maybe it's just that persons posting style though since their last post has it also.

The main point I was making was to broaden your knowledge of why there were so many obstacles on the Derwent Walk ..which you seemed to think had been put there just to spoil your ride ..

technically it is a dedicated cycle route though, okay It's shared with civilians and you should slow down when passing walkers as I always do anyway.
but it's still a National Cycle route Route 14 so it's still pretty annoying, on my old bike with drop bars I could just fly through them, but on some at least the horse side is touching the ground and you can just hop over without needing to come to a full stop..

I only posted the mileage and elevation because I was surprised how many miles I was able to do on MTB with offroad tyres.
Looking at the Bosch Ebike Range calculator and considering how much battery I still had left I was 5-10 miles above their estimate if I would have kept going.

The last time I rode on it we saw a family of otters in the " lake " at Derwenthaugh which I found amazing being so close to a large urban area ( Gateshead ) ....and Red Kites are a common site

I didn't see either, although I did see a pheasant at one point, I think it was at Tanfield Railyway Path leading up to Sunniside.
First time I've actually came across one.
and sorry if I took your post the wrong way, I was reading it with my morning coffee.

That looks almost exactly like the one Elon Musk built, except yours looks like it fired up properly, and it has probably already lasted longer than his!

I think we should start a new EMtb trend, crocs and an OODIE(an oversized hoodie made of blanket material)

Not a serious pic at all, I was just bored and ran into a friend when I went out to play around

Crocs are a useful bit of my " getting changed out of wet gear at the car " kit after a sloppy muddy wet ride ..
That mini wigwam thing you are wearing would have a functional use if it stretched down to the ground in terms of me not bearing my arse while changing..otherwise as a fashion item ..no thanks !

 

[beanzz]

mini wigwam thing

It meant I only had to put the heating on to stop the walls getting moldy

Great pics.
Just out of interest, is that a Garmin watch? If so what model and how do you find it for the e-bike data and tracking?

 

[Dave_B]

Fenix 6 Pro
It’s great for eebs

Lazy Sunday training camp.
Learning to be better bunny hopper, but then I got tired and now I just enjoy the spring nature

 

[UnreasonableMuppet]

Finally got some real elevation numbers. Got 3041' in 15 miles and used up 71% of my battery. On my local trails, I usually need 20 miles to get 1000' of gain.

I went camping in the VA Appalachian mountains

The trails were tough and rocky.

steep and techy, with quite a bit of hike a bike.

This switchback had a 15' plunge to catch the unaware biker.

I was trying to beat the rain, and failed. Got caught in a thunderstorm on the ridge. Temp dropped 20 degrees and the rain came down. Hard. Wool socks and merino base layer tee really saved me.

That ride was an ass kicker.

Saturday was Fun in the FoD on the KSL

Sunday was a chilled out bumble on the Rail with the hound in tow

And a gratuitous muttshot

 

[RustyMTB]

Along the river Ruhr near Essen. I blame the Brits passing by walking for the rain!
