Managed to get Maureen off road it doesn't happen often, she doesn't like the dirdin when going down hill. Couldn't get her to go in to Blackwater Shooting Lodge spooky she thought.

Back at flat land riding. Still great, as long as you can ride.

And inspired by this picture, I decided to go to Lapland next month to ride Bike Parks

@JonnyManc Thanks for the gpx. Cracking ride out in the lakes today.

 

[Jackware]

Out in the Peak District today with the non-fat Fat4.
New bearings in the front Mulefut hub tonight and hopefully the retaped rear rim will hold pressure so normal bloated service can be resumed

Glad you enjoyed it.

The North Face is a bit meh, but the forest and surrounding areas have some good stuff and make for great rides out

Another glorious day in the Nevada desert!

Isn't it extremely hot there at the moment, do you get out early, take lots of water?

Oh ya, I usually leave the house by 8 and bring a full bladder of fluids.

On the Itchenor Ferry before the temperature got too silly.

And another Ferry pic, this time from the River Rhine. Currently on a week-long bikepacking trip with my family along the river valley (trying to avoid mountains as good as possible this time). Having great weather and scenery so far!

 

[Hobo Mikey]

Up in the mountains in Scotland. Up past Breaclaich reservoir through the forests and then down a different way. Only did 16 miles but 2274 ft of elevation.

Done that a many a time more on Analogue bikes but dit it a couple year ago on Levo . Some speed on the downhill at the Aviemore side

Back from vacation and decided on a short 1 hour ride on our trail network. Slight drizzle …went roots and rocks.

So I started at this drop on “Bullet Tooth Tony”.

…and then my front tire slipped on that wet root.

The I flew into, and hugged that log…chest first. The knot went under my armpit and my chin massaged the bark on top. “I can’t breathe!” For a few moments. What a great start …anyways, on with the ride.

Checked out a trail I’ve been resurrecting for the past 4 months.

This feature makes a hard left down into a ravine/creek.

Completed this 25’ long bridge a few months back.

Tore down the old jump and constructed a new one.

Next feature to build over this root system.

Close call on one of my bridges. Still passable.

Rode home to let the pectoral muscles heal. And we really needed this rain. ️

Cracking day in Hamsterley Foest.

Great ride out yesterday in the Western Lakes that took in beautiful scenery surrounding Loweswater with @The Hodge and @drewbirks
This ride had a bit of everything quiet tarmac roads, fast 2 ply, single track and super fast grassy descents. Nothing technical but a throughly enjoyable ride that could be ridden throughout the year.
The scenery was stunning in every direction with views over to the Solway and into deep valleys not forgetting Loweswater itself small but beautifully formed. All the better for being bathed in glorious July Sunshine.

The boys on various parts of the trails.

We did a double loop starting at Maggies Bridge car park which was Chaka block at 09.50 which was something of a surprise! Great day out, I love my Great Whyte ……..
We did a “there and back” traversing along Black Cragg with some stunning views into the valley bottom (not shown) and also rode the shorter loop both ways so a total of 22 miles and 2500ft of climbing.

Great write up Wayne ..not much more to add except to thank my Doctor ( gp) for suggesting the route ..otherwise we most probably would never have ridden it ..but its one that will definitely be ridden again .
Of course I'm going to be adding some pics..sorry for any duplications but the riders are obviously Drew & Wayne ..
*very strange..my pics have tagged themselves onto the end of Wayne's instead of after my write up ..so click to expand above ( if you want to view them )

Gutted I missed out due to work! I should have thrown that 'sickie'!

 

[RustyMTB]

One from Tuesday, can't fault this time of year. In the distance, you can see my mate on his from the future Zerode gearbox bike, sweating up the climb about five minutes after I arrived.

 

[Slymobi]

Fell foot...whilst the other family members do paddle board I did a ride.

Can see others have there uploads at a much higher rate, Curious!
