Congratulations, enjoy! 👍

Talked lately with the owner of a small but fine bike shop about the revival of cross-country race bikes. I just can not understand why I would use such a bike on non-asphalt roads when having a fully resp. why run such tyres when riding on a race bike. 🤔
It was on tv a lot in the 60s if I remember. Lightness probably a factor but flat bars definitely more control. Mean looking dude in that picture. I had a helmet like that in 80s crazy when I think about it. Don't remember much choice back then.

For the amount of rain we've had recently the hills were remarkably dry ..and the temperature warm ..
Things are looking up 😁

Out in the Cheviots today with @ The Hodge, first time this year I think….it was remarkably dry considering all the rain we’ve had but there were still boggy bits to catch you out.
A few pics of Neil and if you expand the last pic you clearly see the granite block path that runs parallel with the border ridge fence on the English side. IMG_7641.jpeg IMG_7639.jpeg IMG_7640.jpeg IMG_7642.jpeg IMG_7643.jpeg IMG_7644.jpeg IMG_7645.jpeg IMG_7647.jpeg IMG_7646.jpeg

Great no jacket ride in my favourite place to be, stunning vistas ……….oh not to forget a pint of the black stuff in the Rose and Thistle afterwards, cheers Neil.

Pensioners outing up Ben Rinnes plus tea and sandwiches. 13 miles 2 hrs moving time , total time 6 hrs . Trek bike in picture is 7 years old and has had absolutely no TLC and no maintenance . Only money spent was £220 last year on new drive train and brake pads , never missed a beat . Sore knee i still get catched out with Bear trap pedals and that was pushing the bike.

A few snaps from my commute home from work. I live approx 14km from work and try to ride the Haibike a couple of days a week. In the morning, I use paved roads plus a km or so of gravel raod, but in the evening I try to find some more interesting routes. This one is approx 18km and follows the river.
