Seems to have worked
Most of the riding was near Hurricane. The second pic was along Dino Cliffs. The other three are atop Little Creek Mesa. The area has GREAT trails with unparalleled scenery.

Why did you block that nice trail entry with a grill?

Glorious day, Cecil came out to play too.
Great ride out today from Whitley Chapel ...in Hexhamshire as suggested & led by Jaco ..with the finishing touches as suggested by @philmedomsley ..
It was so good to welcome @timberjack ( Ant ) back into the riding group after an absence of a good few years ..on his brand new Whyte e160s ( 29er)..and his first ever ebike ..although he rides gravel & road too and is a long standing owner of an Orange 5 ...it wasn't too long before his dry brand of humour was making a return too
.
The biggest surprise of the day was when my phone pinged at around 7.00am letting us know that Alan ( Walkea ) was heading down from Glasgow ..a 2.5hr drive ..obviously making up for the fact that he had to reluctantly pull out of last weeks Lakeland ride at the last minute ..
Great weather & company ..and a cracking ride.. its what Bank Holiday weekends were made for !
Ant ( L) & Alan (R ) heading to the shooting hut for our lunch stop on the Carriers Way ..
The singletrack was so dry and as such running fast ..Great riding
This was a new track to me (a legal bridleway ) ..and quite surreal travelling through it at speed..
I was expecting Phil to give it some " beans " through this water splash ..but he hadn't realised I was taking a pic ..
32 miles apparently..and a canny little trundle ..
Cheers lads
So good we rode it twice ( not really ..but I still haven't worked out how to edit out duplicate pics!)

Ride to the view this morning.

Some great pics there Phil ..one in particular which reminds me ( ungrateful git that I am ) to thank Ant & Jaco for the time and patience they took in re-mounting the re-designed(?)saddle on my bike .
It's the first time I've impaled my ear on the branch of a tree ( right in the old lug'hole
)..which must have affected my balance as I came down hard only a few seconds after getting started again causing the saddle to point straight up to the stars ..I'm just pleased that in the dim light I noticed before re-mounting as I could have had more than a few tears in my eyes 
..Anyway a belated thanks to you both

Glass House Mountains Qld Australia .
Just curious; what are those round red things on the upper fork and table?
Orbea is a great bike btw. Would be my next choice.
We all have to start somewhere and I reckon he’s ready for pedals now
Looks like a daredevil …or a future RedBull rider.
We can but hope
I think he’d do better if he was looking where he was going instead of the front wheel

Monday motivation. It's too bad that the steep and rocky descent is focused on the wrong place.
Local holiday and early bird tour.
Coming down…
…going on….
…crossing the river…
…for a small breakfast …

Just me and my mate out at Castlewellan yesterday getting our heads showered in some glorious sunshine. Great to see so many out enjoying the epic scenery and trails.
Can't work out who is wearing the big pants ..
