Possibly the world's tallest Giant Saquaro with no arms, along with the world's shortest Giant Saquaro with arms....

I’m a bit nervous when you are looking so excited mate………just keep taking the pills ???

 

[Tonybro]

Correct ..a little bit ahead of myself ..?

Old people! They get confused easily! I wondered where everyone was when I arrived there yesterday!

Hopefully i'll have someone that knows what day it is to follow

It’ll be fine, The Hodge is spectacular going forward and backwards, it’s left and right he has problems with…..just keep Tubby g in sight ?

Went to Whinlatter yesterday but the weather forecast was WRONG!

Wet, very wet, a bit drier and then very wet again. Not what the Met Office stated! :-(

No pics, just a Relive video of the route. Did a warm up on the Blue with my good lady and then a couple of loops of the South Red before a wind down on the Blue to finish.

17 miles, 2600ft, 1000kCals.

You look like you’ve just been told that Steve Bruce has signed a five year contract extension

Had that been the case you would have seen a lot of blood where the bullet had exited ?

Another photo spam. Done today Äkäskero tour with magnificent views.
Unfortunately, I had to drink French non-alcoholic beer on a sauna trip. I promise that is the last time.

 

[Dirtnvert]

Some quick boost lapz before the precip rolls back in

Made it Ma. Top of the world.

Looking through some old photos, I found this old gem. On a chance encounter on the Mount Wilson Toll Road in February 2010, this was the first e-bike I ever experienced (Optibike R8). I'm not even sure if it used lithium batteries. Times sure have changed and you definitely get more for your money now. These ran for something like 10-12k USD at the time.

Judging from the look of the dirt and the arm holding the bike, it didn't have any problems running in wet conditions.

Very cool retro ebike. Looks like from 1960’s. Do you still have it? It will become a collector’s piece.

Whoops! intended to add a couple other photos and got distracted. They're in now. Yeah, definitely a wet and cool day on the mountain and it didn't seem bothered by it in the least. It also had to have reasonably good capacity for the time, considering cool conditions and I think the rider hit the 5700' summit prior to our run in (He soft pedaled past us *way* too quickly while we were taking a rest stop, so it was pretty obvious *something* was up).

It *is* a weird organic variation on a Y-bike . Wasn't mine, but the owner was nice enough to let me take it for a spin.

 

[Dirtnvert]

Forecasted rain didnt amount to much so back out for more boost lapz to beat the light

 

[billwarwick]

Love em or hate em, the Tannus liner saved me a long walk home

No Monday morning blues for me…..
Just blue skies. A great morning out with the Cheviots in all their glory.

 

[The Hodge]

Nice ..wouldnt want to be anywhere else on a day like today ..?
