It was actually a technical issue. The picture was posted, or appeared in the thread, as an attachment rather than an image posted with the insert image :

This sometimes also happens with very large images and the forum software changes it to an attachment.

We attempted to set the image as an image instead but for whatever reason it got corrupted and didn't work correctly.

@Bikermouse please feel free to re-post the image using the insert image function.

Sorry for OT. Back to topic.

Some of us here have the most beautiful areas for riding. But hey, those are mountains or forrests only. Natural stuff you can find all over the globe. Who can say having a man made mountain to bike? 😉

Here in the Ruhrgebiet there are a lot of tailings dumps from the closed coal mining industry. Some have been opended to public and to mountainbikers. Recent trial on the dump trail of „Halde Haniel“.

Overall not bad but after decades of MTBing I found that I am not a Downhiller for those there are lots of trails but that „gravel“ seemed to be tire eating.

Went to some Irish Friends to watch the Rugby tonight ... I was supporting New Zealand and was lucky to make it out alive ..

New light arrived yesterday. I did have some funky lights but gave them away as I thought I had some new ones coming which didn't arrive so had switched to some super cheap "caught out moment emergency lights" - which are .... lacking ..

Taking pictures of lights doesn't work very well unless you set the light level - I didn't - so they're crap and don't do the light justice at all .. but either way - you can see ! Everything, everywhere, except on very tight corners and that's without using a second head torch.

Existing light for Amusement :

New light in "Day time running" mode it has a tiny led strip at the bottom ...

New light in "full" mode .. It has "wide" "forwards" "Full/Both" . The picture doesn't do it justice as the camera blanks out as dark in contrast most of what you can see. (Did take pictures of them all, which in real life were vastly different, but in the pictures look pretty similar).

You could actually SEE ! So on the way back de-toured and did some fun bits (no drops, wasn't sure what they would be like) but you could get upto semi normal speed and sh1t your bike up .. I'd made the mistake of cleaning it again.

Did a trip up to the next county for some riding, apple picking and pressing and a new battery for my car.

This section of trail is part of a loop around Coffenbury Lake in Ft. Steven's State Park here in OR. It's a fun bit of very old trail, Lewis and Clark roamed in these Coastal Pines. You can just see the lake through the brush.

This is a section of Trail that I call the DeLaura beach trail. There are several other routes that will get you to the same place and can be connected for some fun loop laps.

After my ride I went to my old friends off grid hippy house and hit up his orchard for some cider and pommes de terre. He has some big ass trees by his house....

A visit to that area is not complete without a bit of contemplation time at the Cove, a popular surf spot here in the North Coast of OR. The point out there is where it curls and is locals only.....watched several rides and looked like it was good although it doesn't show much in the pic? Maybe 8-9'? It was pretty far away and I had my Iphone zoomed to the max. The Cove is a place of great power and energy and I am not big in the woo woo world but there is something there......

In a Meta world you need to keep yourself open to your surroundings while in nature.....of course there are mild stimulants that enhance such thoughts 😇
