First ride on the Orbea Wild FS H10 today , 21 miles of mostly forest tracks in tour and emtb modes but did one of the downhill trails from the mast down at Durris woods , impressed with the Fox 38 performance so far might need to remove a volume spacer but all in all pretty plush , set it to open and off you go ?

XT shifting crisp as usual , XT brakes really good after bleeding them ,

Build quality is good the frame looks carbon because you can't see many of the welds , paint finish really good especially after fitting Invisiframe ?

DT Swiss M1900 seem sturdy enough but I'm yet to give them some proper abuse ,

I can absolutely see the appeal of emtb's the turbo mode is a hoot ?

Arrived back at the van with 35% battery left so all in all I'm impressed with this emtb lark

Regards

Snowstorm out of the blue.

 

[Marley]

17 miles of fun on the Rail.....Virginia.

 

[Steve38]

No, that beach is easily drivable. It's to protect the birds that breed on the beach, like the Hooded Plover.

Makes sense

I was thinking of Robe Beach where this is an issue

I live near Aldinga Beach and there's always debate about driving on the beach there and the impact on the nesting birds

Nice plough, what make?

Don’t know the make. It is fixed at the side of the track, on one of the local trails. It looks the same as this one pulled by a couple of horses from your nik of the woods. It’s the same colour anyway ???. Looks like they have big rears. round your bit. ??. What’s black & white & eats like an horse? A Zebra. ???.

Haha it is indeed ? it's a kind of redishorange , I thought it was pink when I opened the box ?

It’s a change to black with dark grey graphics that you’ve all on the see. They’ll be no mistaking you on the trails. Orange is my colour.

 

[The Hodge]

What's Black & White and eats like a horse you said ..?
That would be Mick Quinn our No.9 from. the Eighties ( Newcastle United)

 

[HORSPWR]

What‘s so dangerous about that place? Seems like a normal beach to me...

Stingers, they pop up out of the sand and get you!!!!

Completed for the most part a new trail section today lots of sword ferns were hurt by Mr. McLeod. Nothing like fresh brown pow, now for the fun part.

I figure to put a plank into that tree crotch for a little air time addition as the landing is good and maybe even one on the other side for a ride over.

Whilst scouting the next section possibility I came across this which will be hard to cross

Centenary Tower and the Blue Lake, Mount Gambier (and some cool looking old building in town)

Suffolk Punch's are a very strong, reliable horse, thousands going to the trenches in WW1, not coming back though. The name Punch comes from the shape of their belly, originally a stick that silk etc was wound onto giving the bulbous shape, later the barrel Puncheon from which the breed takes its name. The plough in this picture is probably a Ransomes, exported all around the world, when Ipswich was an engineering hub. They also had a factory in Newark on Trent, Ransome and Marles that painted their plough blue and red as well.

Ransome and Marles was a huge bearing manf in Newark upon Trent and a major employer......taken over by SKF.
my Grandad worked there for over 40 years and as a kid I was never short of penkers for my catapult.....them were the days ?

That makes sense, Ransome and Rapier made the revolving mechanism for the BT tower, having made railway turntables which are still in use in India and China today apparently. I bet those ball bearings were too big for a catapult !!!
