Pic of the Day

[Stihldog]

The high country in our neck of the woods (southern Alberta portion of the Rocky Mountains backed up to the province of British Columbia on the west boundary) is taking its sweet time to usher in some spring trails and had us retreating with 3 or 4 inches of ice under the snow -with a change of plans we still found a great morning of riding on south facing slopes that were dry and managed to close in on a large herd of elk at the basin of one ridge

May a Chinook come your way soon!

A few pics from Kodachrome Basin State Park in Utah -

A view back toward the basin. You can zoom to see some of the trails and spires (sedimentary towers). Our camp is just behind the red ridge in the distance.

Heading over to one of the box canyons in the sandstone cliffs

Some excerpts of todays ride... Good mixed 26 miler. Especially loved seeing that light at the end of the tunnel

I went on this path for the first time in many years to discover it had been largely abandoned and become overgrown. Another path in the same area had been covered by poison oak and was not passable.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures. It looks like a fantastic destination!

With a few hiccups I finally mulleted the kenevo

Didn’t manage to make it to Garrigill with @The Hodge but I did manage to get out on Askham Fell

Clandeboye Estate, Bangor, Co Down, N Ireland quite recently.

It never ceases to amaze me how varied trails can become with the seasons and the weather. I had a cracker wee pootle today.

... I had a cracker wee pootle today.

Being the other side of the pond I had to resort to Google Translate for that.
I was initially concerned that you had some form of gastrointestinal distress.

Fresh colours of spring!

Is that an AXS derailer shifter? Cause those can cause distractions sometimes.

 

[Tonybro]

Well put a shift in today...

28.2 miles, 4000+ft, 2000+ kCals

Rivington, Winter Hill, Belmont, Witton Weavers Way, Darwen Moor, Jubilee Tower (a quick circuit up/down) and back again with the killer climb at the end back up Winter Hill on the rough, rutted track...

Top of Winter Hill with Darwen Moor in the distance above the saddle...

At Jubilee Tower looking back to Darwen Moor and Winter Hill (barely) visible in the distance just to right of saddle...

Darwen Moor with Winter Hill a bit clearer this time... Swing right here not straight ahead to pick up Witton Weavers Way again.

She can be a dirty girl this Orbea, so I gave her a bit of a clean when we got back, she scrubs up ok...

I'm knackered now! Used the extender to be on the safe side and used all of it (252wh) but main battery still had 50% (180wh) left when I checked after the clean. That equates to 15 miles on Trail or 30 miles on ECO. Impressive as 95% was off-road.

Dry & dusty at Dalby today

Had one of them rides today where you just go and find different routes to wherever they go.
Up Chunal, headed left over the Bridleways towards Hayfield and Edale, cut down onto the set valley trail, took a right and headed up towards Lantern pike and got lost so followed my gut down right over some fast fields and onto some country lanes which then led me to familiar surroundings. Ended the ride going over crown edge reversed to what i usually ride.

Great day/ride except for the invasion of giant mayflies that were intent on head on collision course with eyes, ears, mouth, nostrils and even taking cover under the damn helmet flapping around like a caged beasts.

Fook, this lightweight bike is making you lose weight at a dramatic pace, I can't see you anymore!

don’t worry @Tonybro, I’m still lardy, even if I do lose 3 litres of sweat on each ride
