Pic of the Day

Short(ish) ride this afternoon...

Darwen Moor, Jubilee Tower, etc. Good weather (in fact very warm and very little breeze, very dry and loose).

18.9 miles, 2500ft, 1271kCals.

Prior to that we walked up Rivington in the morning with Bandit...

Took my digital SLR this time.

Pigeon Tower

Bandit, now 6 months old...

To be honest, we don't live anywhere near the trails we ride. We actually have to drive up to 2 hours to get to the trails I post pictures of us riding. Living on the Fraser River is like living on the Thames except 1000 km longer.

Old Pump track. Mt. Baker (local ski hill) in the background.

Closest Trail (Rated Pink). My wife in the background (No Photoshop). I am going to pay for that one.

Fields of "Bullrushes" AKA Marijuana. The stuff grows like weed around here.

 

[UnreasonableMuppet]

I don't have the views you all have, but there's cute box turtles.

Hit 2000 miles on the cargo bike.

Was using it as a trail building rig. It's an e bike hauling e tools to build trails I'll ride with my eMTB

Some fresh trail

That must be the Richmond side of the Fraser?

So I was at the Malverns Festival this weekend, it is the best weekend of the year!
There was riding (small amount) Race watching (small amount)chatting with legends (small amount) Drinking (large amount) Partying (unknown)
Camping with my short-neck giraffe was great fun and he loved all the attention, he's still sleeping now.
No2 did her first DH race, back on an analogue bike which she enjoyed surprisingly.
If you've not done it, you need to, even my bike-hating wife enjoys it.

Due to osteomyelitis, I’ve been 1-legged and off my bikes for most of this summer.

With the advent of the annual #greatcyclechallenge2022 looming (I’ve participated for several years) and due to basically losing my damn mind because I’ve not been able to get out and ride, I purchased a badass handcycle this past weekend. A ReActive Adaptations NUKE with a Bafang motor and display.

The possibility of a below-the-knee amputation is becoming more of a probability with each passing day so, while I wait on the gears of our lovely American healthcare system to do something other than grind to a halt, I’m gonna spend as much time as possible on the road and singletrack.

Got the leg trays and seat adjusted to my liking last night, the battery is all charged up, bottle carrier and tool bag are attached, now it’s time to RIDE!

That rig needs some fat tyres on it!
Seriously though, I was wondering where you'd been, and wish you well for the future.
Keep us posted with more trip photos regardless of the number of wheels on your wagon

Wheels seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
26 inch, 27.5 inch, 29 inch and now 6 foot wheels!!

That's a blue??

Over here, a blue would be a flat muddy path around a lake or something. The type of trail you could take a kid on with stabilisers/ training wheels.

Yours looks more fun.

Sorry, I missed your question. I was thinking of the second trail, Leave of Absence (lots of rock rolls), which is a Blue. Pamplemousse is actually a rated as a Black as it has one optional 8 foot drop on it, but we think of it as a Blue trail as its nothing like the other Black trails around here! The trail rating system uses the same one for summer and winter with Green/Blue/Black/Double Black and Red (Pro Line). In BC, this rating system can be some what vague mountain to mountain, trail to trail and is usually rated by the most difficult feature on the trail. For instance, the #2 Globally rated trail is rated Black but locally rated Blue as there so many more difficult trails rated Black in the area, it makes no sense!

Thanks, man!

Having to do research about the battery shutting off at odd times. Bafang is certainly not my preferred drive. Damn, but I wish it was possible to buy a Bosch motor kit.

Got in 13 miles of road and some gravel last night. Felt amazing to be back on a bike.

I think I may have seen my future, just give me another 20 years please.

From last nights play around in the woods with @DJ57UMP

Bangor Bay, N Ireland earlier this afternoon.

Great riding along great trails in great weather. It was a great pootle!

 

[RustyMTB]

With my customary expertise & experience, I fancied a quick ride & managed to wander into the only thunderstorm in the whole country.

 

[KnollyBro]

With the Kenevo SL out of commission for a while waiting for a new motor, I am back on the Levo SL. Other than the slightly shorter reach, it seems to ride the same to me!

Last minute decision to have a days holiday. Classic riding day with good technical and fast flowing decents. Steep long climbs even on the mobility scooter.

[JFDI]

Yesterday in Swaledale.
Perfect ride conditions for what I consider to be one of the longest, best, natural descents in England, Melbecks to Gunnerside.

On the way into the Alice lake trails there is a trail called Tracks from Hell. It is not all that difficult unless you fall off the 75+m bridge that traverses the swamp (it can be difficult to get started again). The added level of difficulty is that it is a two way trail and it had a blind corner on it so you never know if someone is coming the other way!

Rupert is an easy Black trail which makes its way down the mountain connecting rock roll after rock roll. Come to think of it, I think most Squamish trails do that. Nothing a Levo SL can't handle.

Marsden reservoir very low, good time for a nosey !

Went out around Pembrey forest this morning but got tired.
