Obviously you don’t like seeing nice clean bikes before there ride, don’t understand why ur on this forum then, we are all here supposedly on here to enjoy each others posts, if ur going to be critical stay off the forum
We all get a bit of ragging on here . Part of the fun I actually enjoy. Didn't mean to offend you.

You know I was thinking the same myself but I came along the road then I was over the grass but yeah I see what you mean and it does get used

im laughing here yeah it does look wrong and very clean there but it was very dry until I went into hodge close area from Blea tarn, but it does get used in all conditions

So my guess is this was your first outing on the new bike after the Hope bling conversion, car park is literally just out of sight 50yds to the left, and you found the perfect backdrop to get the camera out 😀

No it was about the 5th ride out after the Hope parts were applied just wanted a Langdale pike backdrop in the photo to keep for myself but decided to post on here as I thought it might appeal to fellow mountain bikers, I love to ride my bike in all conditions but love cleaning it well too

Keep posting. You’re bound to get a a few ribs poked when posting a perfect photo like that, especially as now we’re in Autumn, almost winter, and seeing a shiny bike in perfect condition is a rarity 👍🏽

Nice background 👍 I've been around there last year. Going to the lakes next week for two days and we have skidda and what I considered to be my most enjoyable ride in the lakes is the loop around coniston.

It’s fine I like a bit banter myself, just I have to defend now & again if I’m right
I think that when you are relatively new to the forum it's very easy to become too defensive ..from what I've read the comments which have offended you really were meant in a light-hearted manner..truth be told most of us like to start out on a clean bike .
Cracking pic by the way but although you gave its location I'm struggling to find it on a map ..is it near Loughrigg Tce..?
Do you ride solo most of the time ..or do a bit of group riding ?
There is quite a healthy collection of riders who meet up on a fairly regular basis from all across the North East & beyond ( 5 of us in Northumberland ) ...you would be more than welcome to join us on a ride whenever it suits you ( by way of showing that we are a friendly bunch ) 😉

Clean bike before my ride simple, enjoy the forum instead of being a house cat and finger pusher who complains about folk I thought this was a friendly forum
It is, simmer! Let's not get off on the wrong foot pal, there's a bit of leg pulling on here most days, please don't take it the wrong way. 👍

I think their for the bin . Everyone has a different opinion as to what they are. Juniper was mentioned today.
PictureThis identifies them as Burnet or Scotch Rose hips - it's a great free app for identifying vegetation, either on the fly by taking a photo or selecting from saved pictures.

Yes that could be them I picked them late September and froze them . Bushes had bright red ones as well i only pickedthe darker ones. If I cut them they would be full of seeds.

Strange folks the Scots ...nothing on the calendar to celebrate so I can only assume that's how they turn out normally ..🤔
Two Scots and two English in the foto

Well I was trying to work out which one is you and thought you must be the guy with plastic bags over his feet in case your boots get dirty.

As no one is wearing plastic bags I have concluded you’re the guy with no boots on and a knife stuck in your chest ?

And the O rings on the suspension are too low!
AI photoshop?
My first thought was; Wow 😯, that’s an almost perfect picture. My second thought was; That must be a green-screen photo.

My prescription glasses must need updating cause I never noticed the suspension “O” ring. Good find 👍🏻.

I don’t think it’s AI Or photoshop either. The lighting equipment must be perfectly placed. 😉
