That's what I like to see , how much did it cost ?

It was £2.50. And worth every penny! ( the chocolate sprinkles were 50p extra)

I wonder what a 99 costs nationally and internationally?

Cheap that we have a shop in Cullen with excellent icecream the queues are horrendous on a good day . A lot dearer than that .

A cornet?? It is, and will always be, a poke.

When I was a Fisherman we had one called a Seine Neter , it was more worldly known as a Banana boat .

After replacing almost everything by myself… Not gonna lie I am a bit proud of myself. Changed the wheels, freehub, cassette, derailleur, shifter, saddle, headset, fork, pedals. Also went tubeless.

Next step will be damper, brake discs, brake lever and grips.

Good day 22000 km of ODO and the E8000 is still whole and without strange noises.

I can't decide whether you like the bike or dislike it.

Hit the localish DHills - 3 runs on different trails, massive personal improvement on these tracks since last time I rode them.

Will post the video in my Haibike blog and ride section if anyone is bored enough to watch lol.

I absolutely understand. But I really like my bike!

Lovely day to be spinning the cranks. A beaut.

RACE DAY! Handy for it to also be World Bicycle Day.

Rio Bravo Gravel Grind, La Union, NM, USA

First half of the race I was contemplating doing a second lap (20 miles, 32 km) since I had the option. Halfway through I decided nah. Once out of the deep sand and back on hardpacked gravel, I kicked it into TURBO and pedaled my ass off for the last 8 miles (13 km). Pretty tickled with that 19 mph (31 kph) sustained effort at the end.

Cracking ride today in the Tweed Valley out of Traqair ..the first half doing the Gypsy Glen route then crossing over the Valley to climb the black route at Glentress then cutting across country on a forest track which then morphed into a balls out 2mile downhill to get back to Innerleithen along the Golfie Road ..
Thanks to Alan ,Ant ,Colin ( eventually ..he always gets lost finding the start ) and Wayne ....oh and also the two local characters we met at various points on the ride both ebikers and great craic ..none of us will forget them in a hurry ..
A few pics ..and can we please keep this kind of weather all summer please

Above : Alan & Ant

Above : Colin..climbing away from a very rocky & steep descent ( more so than it looks )

Above a couple of group shots part way down the Old Drove Road descent into Peebles

Wayne surveying the way ahead ( a cropped shot as I hadn't realised that Alan was watering a bush to the left )

Peebles in the distance ( about 3 miles away ) ..and down all the way ..
Ant just in view way down the track ( zoom needed!)

Ant ,Wayne & Alan at a clearing part way up the black climb at Glentress ..Colin left us after lunch by the River Tweed in Peebles having not done much riding recently and recovering from injury..he had done well to cover what he did ..

Same pic ..I replaced Ant ....

The Transmission mast at the top of the black route climb..the two local lads we met earlier are sitting either side of Ant ..one just finishing a can of Fosters from his second 4pack of the day ..and the other had just finished his err..tab ..
Cheers lads ..
Stats 28miles & 3800ft of climbing ..but Alan had it at over 4000ft ..take yer pick
Edit : A few more pics showing the route ..

Wayne surveying the way ahead (…

Did you use Photoshop or are Wayne’s calf’s usually that big?

 

[The EMF]

Fantastic ride today in the glorious Tweed Valley, can’t add anything to
@The Hodge description but I’ll show the ride data.
That last climb from Peebles to the transmission mast at Glentress (at almost 2000ft) was long incorporating some technical black sections

 

[The Hodge]

No photoshop was harmed in any of those pics ..
He's a strapping lad is our Wayne ..and they are all his own
