OK..forget what I said earlier about editing my post ..my boy has drank me under the table ( oh the shame ) ..so I'm posting my pics here ..
If you are getting popcorn ..get me a tub too Tubby ..this could take a while ..
Ancient stone circle just off Clennell Street ..not too far from Alwinton
singletrack Cheviot style ..its a fair drop if you get it wrong
I've never cleared that hill in the distance on an ordinary mtb ..
How do you think I did in emtb mode ?
This is me happy ..I know, I know before anyone says anything .
Cleared without a dab ..
How awesome are ebikes ?
Anyway ..you've suffered enough even though I have more ..?
Ta.. for looking

You did well there, Hodge, I didn't fall asleep once! ? Probably because the last one scared me and the cat!
To be honest, looked like a cracking day!

So these Cheviots, Hodge. Are you riding on marked bridleways/footpaths that are clearly marked or is it a case of go where you like within reason?Obviously you know them well, so that helps. What I mean is, how easy would it be to get lost if you didn’t know the area?

Awesome footage! The Hodge’s happy place
Obviously local knowledge helps a little ..but every bit of yesterday's ride was on legal bridleways ..the relevant landranger map for the area also helps ..I can also help to point you in the right direction when I remember to record the full route..( paused and forgot to un-pause Viewranger after having my sarnie yesterday ?)..but this should give you a good idea..
On the map above I followed that bridleway hugging the Usway Burn from Fairhaugh down to Shillmoor
..also ..as I've mentioned more than once before ..if you are coming to the area and I'm free that day I'm more than happy to ride with you ..not in any pro-guide capacity ..but as a mate showing another mate a new trail ..
I'm usually riding a couple of days out of three ..( sat / sun / mon ...?

Not as Lucky as The Mrs Hodge ! She gets to live there AND has 24/7 access to The Hodge and ALL his pictures !
And a couple of days peace a weekNot as Lucky as The Mrs Hodge ! She gets to live there AND has 24/7 access to The Hodge and ALL his pictures !
What can I say ..its all true ?Not as Lucky as The Mrs Hodge ! She gets to live there AND has 24/7 access to The Hodge and ALL his pictures !
I see that I've a new name tag..must admit I had to look twice as I first thought it had something to do with my bowel movements ..?
Where is that massive valley near Medomsley exactly? I ride near to that area most weeks and I've not seen anything as glorious as that view before ?

The valley view is from the top of High Cup Nick and the Waterfall is Cauldren Snout. Rode from Cow Green reservoir via Cauldren Snout, High Cup Nick, Dufton return.

Busting the new riding Bolle´s.
I've started that ride a few years ago on a blisteringly hot summers day from Garrigill..with 4 other mates ..we had a pint in the pub at Dufton which was a huge mistake as we all ran out of water and were suffering from dehydration at the end
We called in at the pub in Garrigill at the end ..all of us with 1000yd stares and hardly enough energy to raise our glass to our lips ..one of the toughest rides ever undertaken !

My 2020 Levo Comp and the Las Vegas Strip
Evening spin around to the north of Rivington. Left the laptop too late to get a decent ride but it was a good end to the day.

I must have just missed you as I did Winter Hill and Pike this evening, 11 Miles and 1800ft.
One day we need to get organized ?

I always imagine the desert out of Vegas to be full of dead drug dealers and hookers, maybe I watch too many movies ?
