Running for home.
Why is your bike dressed like it's going to a Toga Party ?? Is this some Scottish tradition relating to Roman history I'm unaware of ?

If it's for electronics protection, I thought someone like you would have an old wet suit you could cut up and keep the zip section so you can wrap it round the bike, zip up, voila !

I had had a few drams last night and there were a lot of sheep 🐑 sniffing about the van. And the usual German / Dutch bikers ???.
PS
Just checked van no sheep just some droppings.

Took a ride from the door today, a loop taking in the coast then inland across bridle ways and quiet roads back home

IMG_5837.png

Still guarding the magnificent beaches of Druridge Bay for more than a hundred years. Crumbling but still defiant.

IMG_5815.jpeg IMG_5819.jpeg IMG_5818.jpeg

Further along the coast to the once thriving fishing port of Amble, where the river Coquet meets the sea and if you expand the view between the blue trawlers gear you get the first view of Warkworth castle.

The NEW posh bits of Amble and the marina

IMG_5824.jpeg

The return journey through some very overgrown bridleways from Warkworth to Felton

IMG_5835.jpeg

Back home. This ride I’ve done many times on my trusty Stumpy HT Comp, didn’t think the Great Whyte had the range…..but think again Bonny Lad !

This bike never ceases to amaze me.
Northumberland is a fabulous county to ride a bike through. It has everything!

We (a son and I) were booked to go to BPW on Monday and DYFI on Tuesday but looking at the rain forecasts chickened out and went riding in the New Forest instead. Nowhere near as demanding of course but XC was fun. The last pic is a memorial to Canadian troops stationed in the area before D day. As a dual nationality Canadian I regularly pay my respects to these men many of whom were only teenagers..

Taking a vacation at Raystown Lake in central Pennsylvania so I got a couple days on the Allegrippis trail system.

No ebikes allowed so I had to take my analog hardtail.

Most of the trails are not rocky like this, they are fast and flowy but who stops to take pictures when you’re flying downhill?

Ridge trail out to the view point.

Besides being hot and humid in July, the insects were very agressive. Could not stop to take rests without getting swarmed; even got swarmed on slow climbs. Need to come back here in the fall. And maybe petition the Army Corps of Engineers (who is in charge of this site) to allow e-bikes. PXL_20230712_154903827.jpg
