Studs are useless in fresh powder snow

 

[Barbara_Reed]

So you should be. Didn't last very long, though.

 

[Dirtnvert]

Hella cool! (See what I did there?)
Although I lived in the Bay Area for a year, about forty years ago, I didn't know there were forested areas in Oakland. I had to go to Google Earth just to check it out. Fun stuff!

Great suspension, and an interesting choice of riding clothing.

Yes, I agree. I think the Pink backpack clashes a bit with the green of the bike. OTOH if you like contrast and being seen when on the streets, then it is definitely good. Particularly with the purple Tutu

 

[Pascal Funk]

Oh yes

 

[RustyMTB]

Pink is for pace.

 

[Sherman]

What a beautiful day. Keeping the trails open, but this was as far I could go on this trail.

Having opted out of travelling down to Hamsterley today thinking there might be a good bit of snow & ice to contend with..you simply can't keep four ..err three ..erm.. I mean two good men down ..that's what we whittled down to when the day started with rain lashing down & black ice ( two non forum mates ) ..but me & The EMF are made of sterner stuff ..
We tackled the Pundershaw area of Kielder Forest which is just over the hill from Bellingham where I live ..
The ride had a bit of everything ..moorland singletrack , farmtrack , tarmac ( Blacktop) forest singletrack ..and even clearing fallen trees from storm Arwen ..
Tired , wet & cold by the end ..21 tough miles ..but great to be out .
Cheers for taking the time to come over Wayne ..it was a blast ..

EMF ..in the distance

Thanks! I’m very lucky to have gorgeous trails in my backyard and year-round riding

It’s the mid-range Magicshine e-bike light- ME2000. It’s pretty good for the size/weight.

My daily ride just got a bit more complicated.

My daily ride just got a bit more complicated.

Well... everyone walks sometimes.

91737? My homeboy just moved to RC and has been exploring the hills above his house. It sounds like there's some pretty nice wilderness, fishing spots, and trails that head up into the higher elevations.

 

[Mcharza]

Perfect winter riding conditions. -8 C and white clean snow.

 

[CBSTD]

First ride of the new year after a pretty pants Dec. and first foray in the Ochil hills today will definitely be back once its dried out a bit, there’s some nice riding and they have weird grippy ice

 

[Hobo Mikey]

A bit murky up at Bossington point this morning.

 

[Mike D.]

Sudden weather opportunity to go up on the mountain and look for some perspective. Didn't take long to find.

Do bikers lunch in the woods?

 

[Mabman]

Sunshine in January here is a real treat.

 

[Steve38]

Been a few weeks
Unfortunately contracted the ol' Covid over Xmas / New Year
Feeling stacks better now
Photos below from last Sunday's country 47km / 700m group ride
Aussie outback mid summer's a bit different to a European winter !

Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here!

Found on the National Coal Board land adjacent to the Sherwood Pines trail centre.

Fantastic light in the dawn mist amid the local woods this morning, first real sunny day we have had in weeks.

 

[Tonybro]

Shortened ride at Rivington today. Cold but bright, just had a slow puncture and was gradually losing pressure from the rear tyre.

Still managed 13.2 miles, 2250 feet and over 1000 kCals burnt.

These pics are from Winter Hill summit, one looking north and one back towards the transmitter and some of the masts.

Video excerpts just uploading to YT as I type, just waiting for HD processing. Only 7 minutes. Over in the Footage thread...

 

[RustyMTB]

Sloppiest conditions I've ever known round here today. I can;t say the new mudguard has been an unqualified success & now Mrs. Rusty is doing her nut despite me explaining it will dry out much quicker indoors.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Finally back on the bike so just plodding around ..

Lots of trees down here at the moment ..

Found lots of lazy trails to ride.

And some handy bike washes ..

@RustyMTB if it helps with the Mrs, mine is in front of the fire now .....

 

[Ogofmole]

Yesterdays ride, getting up nice and high in the mountains.

Great, now she wants me to knock walls around & put a fireplace in. That's me off the 2022 Jam2 7 waiting list.

Nice 23 mile excursion in the South Downs starting and finishing at Queen Elizabeth Country Park with a few downhill trails to finish. 2,700ft climb above the fog.

My homeboy just retired, so he's now graduated from a weekend rider to one of the Elite Brotherhood of Weekday Riders. This was our adventure yesterday.
