Nice Roo ... did you have a quick race?

Nice Roo ... did you have a quick race?

They were pretty tame, but legged it (or hopped it) before I had the chance

 

[Zimmerframe]

somethings missing though?

Is the Canadian wet bridge a common feature ?

 

[Mike D.]

Although I live and bike in Spain, I still get nostalgic every now and then.

A la recherche du temps perdu, and all that...?

 

[The Hodge]

I've taken this " not too many pics " thing to a new level ..
Did a ride with my mate Jaco yesterday...in the heart of the Cheviot Hills ..and we both left our mobiles in the car..so nothing to show on what we're the windiest conditions I've ever ridden in ( beyond Gale Force with 70mph gusts apparently )...shame as there were 4 separate sightings of the wild Cheviot ?..along the Border Ridge..brilliant ride though and demonstrated the true versatility of an ebike ..had I been riding my mtb ..I would have turned back after the first ( wind in yer face) climb..
The last wind assisted descent though was something else ..

A good ride without any (pic) evidence doesn’t count

Whaaa...cant you just use your imagination ??

 

[Pivot]

What I have seen in my mind I cannot un-see!

 

[Tonybro]

Just use some of the many thousand spares you've got! We'll be none the wiser and Zimm can continue his whinging... ?

sorry for all the film shit Hodge
but we really do need some pics at least,
or we will have to do it for you

 

[Stihldog]

Is the Canadian wet bridge a common feature ?

Yes very common. The canoe is not in the pic but the guide rails(shown) are required. This bridge is EMTB friendly, obviously ?.

This is Not eMTB friendly.

Weve already seen every square inch of N'land, so we can visualise the ride

Thrum Mill on the river Coquet, east of Rothbury NORTHUMBERLAND.
Great not to be up to the eyes in clarts.....pleased to get the ugly mudhugger rear off.
basic mistake leaving phones in the car !!!!!!! Mr Hodge. ? must do better next time.

 

[Zimmerframe]

on the river Coquet

Notice how the amphibian member rarely strays far from water ....

naught step for Hodge yet again for being forgetful

It’s a primeval thing.......

 

[Zimmerframe]

After going through a period of virtually no crashes .... Saturday - OTB. Yesterday, crap line and ended up flying backwards into the same big green mossy rocks which are in today's picture ! Today, two falls and retired bruised and battered. What a knob.

Where the hell was I going ! You just come down a tight steep left and here the trail goes down and right - to the right of the small green rock - not the area with no leaves where I was scrambling around yesterday trying to get back on my feet, but couldn't because it's actually too steep in real life to walk on any of it - then immediately tight left followed by tight right and steep drop through rocks behind the mossy rocks ..

Knobs knobs knobs - no riding for me for a few days.

 

[The Hodge]

Bloody impressive old boy ..you still had the presence of mind to take an ariel shot whilst flying backwards off the bike ..10/10..
( hope you're not hurting too much!)..

 

[Planemo]

I am so loving the emtb mode when in the thick of it, Bosch really nailed it. And turbo mode for the shitty road ride to the country park and back.

Is it the camera angle or is that rim bent?

 

[Zimmerframe]

I think the whole bikes bent !

I think it's just some weird camera distortion.

That was hard to describe let alone ride.....Ooooooer ??

 

[Zimmerframe]

I think there's another thread for injuries, but I can't remember what it's called ....

First time I've ever taken a Selfie ?! It's virtually impossible, how do you contort yourself and know where to point the damned thing !

Anyway, excuse the nipple. Troy Lee did a magnificent job with just minor scuffing here which was a good hit/slide over pointy rocks (crash no.2 - not pictured) Armour UP ! Will probably be bruised tomorrow, but who cares.

Left hand/forearm isn't working properly, so I guess I bent that backwards or something. Forgot shin guards - which was unfortunate as those would have saved some mess. The worst bits are lower abbs and groin area - I'll PM them to everyone .. rather uncomfortable ! Sadly no armour round there. Someone like @BAMBAMODA would instantly deploy their massive extendable protection rod and smash rocks into tiny pebbles. (Though I think it was actually a tree stump, anyway, it was enough to make it the second to last run of the day).

#PUSSY !

 

[The Hodge]

Thanks for the offer ..but I will pass on the groin area pics ..
Great tits though ..?

 

[Zimmerframe]

Hmm. The Hodge likes furry nipples. Never knew.

He's a flosser !

Its all bike’s fault! I can see a perfect reason to buy the new carbon spesh that you have been peddling to us

LOL .. if only, it was 100% sh1t riding !!

I'm just trying to trick everyone into thinking they'll buy a £13,000 bike, until they panic and pull out, so there's loads of unsold ones and I can swoop in and buy one for 4k ! Its just a bit of underhanded market influencing ?

I hate typing with one hand . It sucks.
