Hob Hole in the North York Moors from last weekend. View attachment 114878

Nice pic ..but points lost if you didn't ride the ford ..

We had to wait a full ten minutes for Ermintrude there to shift her arse so we could get through that gate. Pair of hopeless townies wondering how you move a cow.

Just hold a stick out sideways and move towards them.

With sheep, just take your trousers off and they run - especially if they recognise you.

That's the beauty of the kilt sneak up behind and they don't hear the Spaver ( zipper ) getting pulled down. Back legs in the wellies away you go , a Welsh man called Jones told me about that wee trick

Helsinki central park mtb trail jumping session. Huck to flat I would say.
Poor quality pic, taken screenshot from a video.

Good weather today up The Cabrach. Up past Glenfiddoch Lodge and Blackwater Lodge then up Cooks Cairn . Drummond new to the Ebike dream 71 never too old eh. River crossing thrown in as well . Found a unused t shack for the windfarm , health and safety no doubt .

My ride today to, around, and from Kingley Vale in West Sussex in pics.

On the way to Kingley Vale, the River Lavant (a winterbourne) with wild watercress growing in it. Unfortunately can't eat it because of the sheep crap.


After riding through Kingley Vale (where I fell off of course), a pic of the Solent, Chichester Harbour, and the Isle of Wight in the distance.


Coming back on a single track saw something ahead move pretty quickly off the track so stopped and grabbed my phone to take a pic. A deer growing his new antlers stood perfectly still for me, beautiful animal.


Coming home down a track pedal strike galore, getting so overgrown couldn't see the ruts. Another month and it'll be impassable. Can't believe how much growth there's been in the last week.


Edit: antlers

Okay …I’ll bite.

How loud is his horn and why does he need two?

[RustyMTB]

It's not sheep shit. You'd be mad to go near a river in this country right now. The state of us.

 

[Stihldog]

Edited.

It looks like a buck with velvet antlers. But I could be wrong …

 

[HORSPWR]

Nice find. I’m not sure if it’s worth restoring though. Maybe you can identify this one. I think it’s a Pony?

My question is, how do they get there, that one doesn't even look like it could have been driven in there!

 

[IndigoUnicorn]

Been getting some rain the past few days. All the things that want to stab you here in the desert are in drag—hoping to lull you into underestimating their spiny bits.

Wait.

What? There’s gotta be a better way to phrase that.

 

[Mabman]

Another beach another day,

After some trails above.

Another fly by of the human kind but I stopped for this one.

There’s an old road about 40-50m higher. Probably someone drank too much and went over the side …then just left it there. 40 years ago maybe?

Oh no..
I see trouble ahead Steve ..Lou's turning into the Imelda Marcos of the MTB/ EMTB world

 

[Colin1517]

Early burn!

 

[Swede]

EMTB for my son so we can ride better together. Mondraker F Play 26.

 

[Arminius]

I always expect to see horses tied to it.

No, no, no! It‘s definitely for bikes. He is just is a freerider with a brave eMTB using no bridle. This is the usual way to do it if not that handsome:

 

[Zimmerframe]

Went for a slow ride .. took a shortcut .. The grass has got a bit long though .

Things got easier ..

Found some trails, this bit needs some work.

This is a lot steeper than it looks and with the anti vampire steak sticking out at the top of the steps I decided against riding it.

@The Hodge , @The EMF and I went to the lakes to do Walna Scar. Weather and views were incredible!

Tough ride with all the rocks. Only 19 Miles and 3500' but we were goosed by the end!
