Pic of the Day

[The Hodge]

On Saturday rode from my place down along the cliffs of Moana and Maslins Beach to Port Willunga to watch the start of the UCI Tour Down Under Road Race

Cracking day for it

You went to watch a road race...??
Deepest sympathy mate ..get some help before it's too late

Definitely very uncommon here in Arizona. This fire road is in a flood control area, but I've never seen it impassable before. Also that mud was absolutely insane. It was like mortar mixed with gear oil. The good thing is that it had absolutely zero traction, so when it packed up and locked up the tire, I was able to safely slide all the way to the scene of the crash. I had to pull the bike over to the grass to get any traction to re-start the ride out.

What do you expect with a forum handle such as Swampnut?

Looks like the bloke in the second pic is having a piss on the Carn Brea monument ...

Please post up pics of your own bike! That's not dirty enough to be yours (or mine!).

The ground was frozen solid yesterday so it was like riding in the middle of summer with no mud (except it was freezing cold brrr)

 

[SwampNut]

Why yes, of course it is. You mean to say you don't have the requisite duck on your bike? That could explain a lot. Shame.

I noticed the duck had a propeller on its bonce ..is that to give you a little assist on the jumps ?

Call that mud? This is mud!

The bike was up for it, but if I had kept going, the mud on the tyres would have worn off the paint on the stays.

That is a really crap wall, it won't keep the sheep in at all!

I was shocked at how solidly locked my tire was. I had to find a stick and start removing junk, the tire was not turning, period.

Bike photo session in the city is all I can do now… my local mountains are in full winter mode.

[Harry Vandsome]

Early morning ride in the forest

 

[Binhill1]

No Ebike this week 3 Vallees instead. Today's dinner stop .

 

[Zimmerframe]

Even less EMTB than Binhill ... but it was pretty ?!?!

Mate had completely stripped his Ranger auto transmission trying to find a fault ..

This valve oilway looks like someone spent 6 months trying to come up with something to justify their time to create a part of guide oil for 7 valves .. Obviously it's more than that - but it still looks crazy

 

[SwampNut]

I think I found the cheese.

 

[Bones]

This is what happens when you have had to much booze. At least my underarms won't seize up

Hello from Athens.

 

[The Hodge]

I was in two minds about turning out this afternoon as I'm up at Kielder tomorrow with @The EMF in what's looking like it going to be a very windy ride ..but as the missus was out drinking & dining & generally hob-nobbing it at a girly 50th birthday celebration..and with nothing better to do I travelled 45mins down the road and did a beyond Bolts Law there & back.
Having left it until mid afternoon I was chasing the light on the way back ..but had a great couple of hours in +c temps & brilliant sunshine
One or two pics ..

Now to face the music when the better half gets back as the bike is in a right state getting charged up again inside the house for tomorrow ..

After a long days work, you don’t let the cold get in the way of a ride across town and up Knox mountain in Kelowna. First ride with a head lamp too, interesting and fun in the snow.

 

[Cell4soul]

The Picktpost section of the AZT. Superior, AZ. An amazing out and back.

 

[Jamze]

What started as a quick hour's ride took a bit longer 'cos it was so nice out. Luckily had the lights in my bag.

 

[SwampNut]

Finally warming up, it was a cold but decent 62F. Found a fun new trail.

Also, can the pic of the day include video?
