Still riding without a motor. This bike is insane. As soon as it points downhill it just accelerates like a rocket on speed 
No doubt..its a lovely looking bike ..Still riding without a motor. This bike is insane. As soon as it points downhill it just accelerates like a rocket on speed

Its the amount of time it takes to get up the other side that would bother me though

had a womble around Brechfa lastnight, photo is when back at the van (sorry no impressive scenery shots)
thought I was walking at one point but traced to this huge boulder in the chainguard making earth-shattering noises (Ok, I might be exagerating slightly here
) removed with brute-force & the arm of my glassesRich.
That’s the same rock that found it’s way in my pivot area…I hate that rock.
…thought I was walking at one point but traced to this huge boulder in the chainguard making earth-shattering noises .
Damn you fella ..
I've never heard of a bike ride being called a womble before ..a bimble ..yes ..quiet often .
But what has incurred my displeasure is the fact that I've got that fking theme tune inside my head and it won't go away ..
underground overground wombling free..the wombles of Wimbledon Common are we ..Grrrrr..thanks a bunch !
Cracking ride today in the Tweed Valley out of Traqair ..the first half doing the Gypsy Glen route then crossing over the Valley to climb the black route at Glentress then cutting across country on a forest track which then morphed into a balls out 2mile downhill to get back to Innerleithen along the Golfie Road ..
Thanks to Alan ,Ant ,Colin ( eventually ..he always gets lost finding the start..
A few pics ..and can we please keep this kind of weather all summer please

The Transmission mast at the top of the black route climb..the two local lads we met earlier are sitting either side of Ant ..one just finishing a can of Fosters from his second 4pack of the day ..and the other had just finished his err..tab ..
Cheers lads ..
Stats 28miles & 3800ft of climbing ..but Alan had it at over 4000ft ..take yer you get
You'll have passed it on now to someone else probably meDamn you fella ..

I can second that sentiment
so, luckily, as this monolith has caused so much grief, lastnight I had decided to quarantine it (stashed on the dashboard of my van) to minimise future pain for others, although if someone incurs my wrath it could be placed in their vicinity

Now, as you've planted the seed of that wonderfull earworm, I'm guessing that you'll be quietly singing-along to Mike Batt's infamous vocals
sorry, couldn't resist (& it'd be rude not to!)

My partner loves her bike 
Hope she never went over any sheep shite.
I wouldn’t have been able to resist riding Trailfairy Plan after doing that climb; it’s right bloody there and it’s excellent.
The Transmission mast at the top of the black route climb.
I suppose it does seem a bit strange that we didn't tackle any man made singletrack downs ..but having climbed most of the 3,800+ ft at that point and feeling a bit knackered and also having a bit of " range anxiety " to get back to Traquair..it was never part of the plan ..we only decided in Peebles to cross over the Valley into Glentress as we were originally going into Cardrona Forest / Orchard Mains to finish ..
What I would say though is the track we took from Dunslair Heights to drop down to Leithen Water ( Alan's suggestion) was incredible for sheer speed on a slightly rocky / rubbley double track which just went on & on ..everyone recording their fastest times of the day .. so no real regrets ..

Quick test ride today to fine tune everything. Wasn’t happy with the spacers and the shifting yet. Lost the chain on the top sprocket 2 times but finally did the right adjustments. But now I am happy
Ballyholme, Bangor, N Ireland quite recently.
Ditto my last couple of posts.
Very warm but yet another grand day out.
Another day another poke.

Saw a nice big cooter on the trail today.
The Eastern Red Bellied Cooter.
I gently grabbed the cooter and set it off the trail. It hissed at me.
I had a lovely worship session at the altar of boost and burned through 85% of the battery in a bit less than two hours. Garmin claims I burned 900 calories.
Super green and lovely out. Nice and cool today too.

Baby steps, picked up my first emtb about a month ago having not ridden a bike for years. This weekend finally plucked up the courage to do some small jumps. Absolutely loving it.
Dunno what's going on with the chicken arms though, any pointers?

Good technique with the elbows out! Stops anyone trying to pass you in mid-air!

So, went for a quick spin after work just locally. Starts with a nice little descent. Chain snapped halfway down the descent. Guess who didn’t have his multi tool with him
Had a pleasant long uphill walk instead
