Pic of the Day

[The EMF]

I’m not sure if it’s my weekly crash or Zim’s witty humour but my ribs…
Is there a way to protect ourselves besides isolation?

The North Shore has some pretty crazy trails. I heard that the Trail Police dismantled a few features over there but there are some well-built features created on our hill. Our main hazards are pointy sticks, hard rocks and some animals.
This ancient feature was built close to an active gun range. Basically two ways to die. ?

Joking apart Jimbo ..if your bro-in-law is interested the EMF has just started advanced courses of how to survive a spill in the drink ...very popular in this part of the world ..

I’ve an old DVD called the Collective with a young Mat Hunter and Berrecloth and if I remember a piece on the late great Stevie Smith and some of the structures they build and ride are incredible.......I’ve seen this film quite a few times over lockdown and still get nostalgic over my SX Trail, my first custom build bike.

This is the unused road bridge over the River Witham on the edge of the village of Marston in Lincolnshire, UK. Those beautiful weeping willow trees are in someone's garden (lucky people). My Focus Jam2 9.6 NINE taking a well-earned breather.

Enterprising farmers are now offering a "dirtying" service to pretend MTBers who want to look like they've been out on the trails.

Ha ha. Nah we have just been running three of these. 2 bar mounted 1 helmet.

Cheap and does the job ?? Sure there’s better out there, but can’t complain for the cost.

[Mike D.]

Up on Sierra Lujar in the south of Spain yesterday. 1383m. Straight up-and-downer.

The peak on the right is Mulhacen, highest point on the Iberian peninsula.

On the left - Pico Valeta, highest point open to bicycles...

 

[Stihldog]

Oh god no..please don't!?

Watch the documentary “Capricorn 1”. ?

 

[Penttithefinn]

Suffolk's Area 5.1.......shortly after this there was a strange line recorded on View Ranger and a top speed of.....140mph !!!!

 

[The Hodge]

[RustyMTB]

Hey Zim, the second picture, ten euros for the Gendarme benevolent fund if you can name the beach, which is in France, obvs.

Am I looking at the same picture ? I can't see a beach ?? We like this challenge .. name the beach not in the picture ?!??!?

Edit .. I think I might need a clue .. like is the first picture taken at the same place as the second picture where I have to guess the beach where there's no beach ???

That's a pity. If you ever get round to upgrading from Prestel, you'll see the dune du Pilat.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Oooh , this is hard .. Initially thinking Brittany Normandy, but now not so sure, Dune du Pilat would be the obvious, but the terrain around there is nothing like the first picture.

You could be going historical , so Omaha Beach ? then wondered about your wind ?!? So thought somewhere round Plage de Saint-Anne :

Plage de Sainte-Anne · 29550, France

★★★★★ · Beach

goo.gl

Or Plage de Cameros, has a bit of a drop ..

Plage de Caméros · France

★★★★★ · Beach

goo.gl

But none of them look like the same terrain as Photo 1 .. Who is Russel anyway ?

One of the many surrounding Crozon ??

The terrain looks a bit like around La Hague ?????

 

[Zimmerframe]

Ah crap . you've replied and ruined my fun !

 

[Hobo Mikey]

Coed Y Brenin this morning.

 

[The Hodge]

The tree in this pic is a total mystery ..how the hell did it get here ..
A eucalyptus tree...on the edge of a harvested section in Kielder Forest ...there was even a Koala bear there as I approached...( ?skinchies..I made that last bit up ?)..everything else around it was Fir, Pine & a bit of Gorse & Hawthorn..
Spooky man ..
