While I wait for new derailleur hangers for my Speedfox AMP I was forced to pull out the 20 pound carbon rocket this morning. Talk about a buzzkill haha.?

Amazing what you find lying around in the countryside......Cessna 150 there as well.

Does "Finders Keepers" not apply in East Anglia?

Just read on the Cessna forum "Amazing what you see in the countryside, a fancy new electric mountain bike with a 1920's saddle !"

Maybe it belongs to a 1920s rider.

NO...1940 rider.looking for an even more comfortable “easy chair”saddle!

Beautiful sunset in my local trail, Bonelli Park, supposedly this place will be Olympic venue for XC race during 2028 Los Angeles Olympic.

The bottom of "The Punisher" .. it's evil enough when it's not covered in fallen branches ..

Only 0.3km, but at -27% and very tight and rocky it's a pig !

^^ Wow! Nice new baby blue re-paint job! Although, I kinda liked the former dark midnight blue from your previous pic. ???

Hadn't noticed the crappy light/colour feck up ! I should have sent it to gpb for a colour work up. Would probably come back with a ?.. ?

What’s KOMcaching??

 

[Zimmerframe]

What’s KOMcaching??

You pick your route to try and get as many segment KOMs back to back as possible. Normally doesn't work because you're too knackered from one segment to ride the next one fast. Especially if you're trying to go back up the down, or down what you went up. You also push too hard trying to go fast - so you go slow ! It's an exercise in physical and mental balance ! ??. In my case it normally involves a crash ??

Sounds like hanky-panky to me. I would’ve thought that you’d rather be caching the QOMs??

That would be a FAR FAR better idea ?????

Great pics Zimm - does everyone carry a large stick these days to photograph their bike? I haven't seen one mentioned in any of 'what's in your pack' threads

Lucky there was a stick poking out of the slipway in just the right place!

That's because it's rather a sticky subject so people don't like to mention it!

@Nicho @Jackware Nah, guys, guys... that’s not a stick! If you look real close, Zimmerframe’s bike has a bad case of projectile diarrhoea...

 

[MrBrownstone]

After a great surf this morning, why not fix shit this afternoon?

I think everyone carries one, I had mine custom made, it's not like they grow on trees.

Anyway, stop taking the piss you guys, that's a selfie of me with the bike !

I see a lot of pics of bikes here propped-up by a stick and always wanted to do the same. But every time I come across a photo op out in open space, not a single stick to be found! Not so easy to come by as I thought...

Do not be dismayed ! I had the same problem. I spend half my life clearing branches from trails.... But could I find a stick !

The other worry is that it's a concrete slab which drops straight off 8 meters, rather than a slip way ... So there's a bit of a gamble with hoping your bike doesn't fall over - especially when it's windy .. ??

You should go riding with Zimmer, then you could borrow his stick.

Or adopt a doggie and take him riding ................ they can ALWAYS find sticks, even if there aren't any.

Murphy’s Law: When I finally come across a stick, there won’t be a vista worthy to take a pic of!?
