Pic of the Day

Don't know why that elevation gain should come as a bit of a surprise as along with the slightly moist conditions ( ) my legs still don't feel as if they belong this morning..but it does ..

I feel I’m wearing my lungs on the outside, But Jaco….he must be Steve Austin’s great grandad

Be great if we knew which way we were going to fall . I broke both ankles at different times in differant sporting accidents . Ribs 2 years ago could have been really nasty the way I fell . But considering the amount of years I have been cycling I've been lucky. I will say this though since I've had ebike. Just under four years and about 8000miles . I have fell off it or had silly little slips more times than all my other bikes put together. Rant over.

Got the old girl o.n the operating table. Spank vibrocore bars & new tan wall pirellis.

 

[The Hodge]

new tan wall pirellis.

No...just no !

 

[TrailBoB]

No...just no !

She came with tan walls as standard so thought I’d revert back for a while.

…the narrow sheep track was very muddy View attachment 109527

If that’s a man-feature …then thanks for the idea.

Gave the family a small tour yesterday. Snow is melting fast but the trails are great.

 

[Tubby G]

Some paragliders decided to join us on todays ride

 

[The Hodge]

last climb was limp mode but had to be done to get home.

I can beat that ...my battery ran out literally as we turned into the car park at the end of the ride ..

Clandeboy, Bangor N Ireland a couple of hours ago.

Mild, muddy and marvellous 18 mile pootle. Trails are a weird mixture of bone dry, waterlogged and muddy as feck. But as usual they make for a grand day out!

No big sticky bun today as we’re having an Indian takeaway later and I wanted to leave room for a pakora starter.

Risk it for a biscuit?

The spot where the photo was taken is actually the start of a 29% gradient DH trail, but we bottled it as it looked like we’d be riding off an edge of a cliff

Big balls mtb trail or run of the mill paragliding take off. It's all a matter of perspective I reckon.

 

[Cell4soul]

New to me trail system. Casa Grande, AZ. Fun trails. Hard to follow in some areas, but fun.

 

[Binhill1]

Levo cables drying out so slumming it today . Dropped van off to get exhaust welded and decided to take advantage of the nice day for a couple of hours. You forget how enjoyable a road bike can be on back country roads. And so easy to pedal.

I had three solo Hangliding flights then crashed my flying days are over now . I was tempted for a tandem paragliding trip in France in January it looks great the colours and blue skies and white snow .

Sorry does not compute ...three words that don't go together in my vocabulary ..enjoyable & road bike

 

[Binhill1]

Your thinking about head down arse up road cycling that's definitely not me. I think I will start smoking so I can stop more often.

Dawn ride around the Glasshouse Mountains last Saturday, with 33C temps forecast I tried to beat the heat. Ended up doing 47km in 3 hours, it was mixed terrain with a bit of tarmac roads, gravel forestry tracks, deep sand in places and some awesome single track that I haven't ridden before. All near my house, I think 15km would have been the furthest away I got all morning. Who needs a gravel bike and lycra with a coffe shop stop at the end to put in some decent mileage.

Life in your neck of the woods must be sooo hard

Nice bike

I once again experienced rather significant hand numbness today after about 10 miles to the point where I couldn’t feel controls. Turned around but the ten miles back wasn’t much fun. Is this why you got these bars? If so I’d love to hear some real world experiemces rather than rely on testimonials on their website.
