Chasing young pheasants down a track on the way to Kingley Vale, West Sussex, UK.

Near the Devil's Humps above Kingley Vale.

On the way back down.

Don't want to crash here, plenty of barbed wire!

Super dry conditions on a trail rated Black but runs like a Double Black resulted in a grade 3 sprained ankle.

On the Wirral circular trail today, nice flat ride for a change.

That's actually a nice looking whyte. The ones that make it into nz are horrid colours.

I was googling knolly to see the ebike.... then I realised you have slapped a knolly batch on a kenevo sl just to confuse ignorant plebs like me.

PS. Bring on the double blacks. Not many ebikers smashing big stuff. Load up some action shots. That track sounds sweet.

Haha... I made a wrap for my Kenevo cuz of the obnoxious SPECIALIZED that is splashed out all over the frame in GIANT WHITE letters (you missed the Ohlins Kashima forks... the colors messed with the Feng shui! of the bike!). Have you ever noticed when you say "hi" to anyone on the trail, they always look at what bike you are riding first? I have owned 10 Knollys and only 3 Specialized so my allegiance lies else where.
I tend to ride by myself or when I do group rides, no one wants to stop for photos. You can see video of the trails I ride around here in my tag line. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2zZG25wQ970XJ2Amk1yC9A

Chunky. I like it.

I must be the exception to that statement as I always greet the rider first .. I often ride off after having a chat without having a clue what the other bloke/ss is riding ..

Gloucester Docks, just up the road from me

An explorer ride today out of Mosedale, Cumbria ..the very eastern edge of the Lake District ..at least 50% of the trails ridden were unknown to any of us ...and truth be known a little naughty
These " wild ponies " were on the first section of the ride ..

Mike , me & Richy are the other wild ponies
The first off-road bit on the Redgate b/ way ..which then turns into a path ..

We were wondering where Dave was ..turns out his chain snapped ..

The tracks over Lowthwaite & Longlands Fells were something else both up & down in terms of steepness

Wayne front & Dave rear on the approach to the Whitewater Dash Waterfall.. before the track turns gnarly ..

The track to Skiddaw House ( hostel) which can be seen in the top left corner

Wayne ..

Skiddaw House was open ..and Dave both made & bought everyone a cuppa with a contribution ..gotta say at that late stage of the day it was the finest cup of tea I've ever tasted ..cheers mate !

The drop back down from Skiddaw House is fantastic on a techy bridleway ..but to be honest the whole ride was spot -on
Cheers lads
Edit: Wayne's numbers for the route ..that might explain why my legs feel a bit hollow this morning

Caught the last of the sunset yesterday. Can feel the nights beginning to draw in a touch.

Fabulous conditions tonight in the Derbyshire Dales

We love a bit of X-wing Kenevo.

You should add a second rear mud guard zipped to the chainstay which overlaps (on the outside of the existing one) the first one, otherwise all the crap gets funnelled into the linkages/motor hole - there's more in the 2018/19 Kenevo thread.

But something like this (just a cheapo under saddle clip on guard cut to size)

I have a much better one than what I'm running at the moment, just won't fit with the 2.8 Eddy Current. The one in the pic is getting binned as it does nothing

Anyone else?

In answer to your question ..Yes....but I'm not saying which option

Fabulous! Thank you very much for sharing

Popped my Greno Woods virginity today like nothing I've ridden before ( Smashes Cannings out the park ). Above my limit but had a great couple of hours riding within my limit here. Was hoping to get over to Wharncliffe but I twinged my back and it flared up so had to call it a day early. Cased and rolled nearly all the features lol but still had an awesome time and more importantly survived to ride again.

 

[TimC7]

Tour of the Wye Valley today; some steep rocky up and down the valley sides . .

 

[KnollyBro]

Evidence that THEY are dumbing down the trails on the North Shore. Then again, we are all getting older and a little extension to our wood, could come in handy. Do you agree?

Looks straight forward enough...

Different View...

Back in the day...

When seeing it first time I thought it is the „Specialized trail“ Then found it is „N“ and part of the Neandertalsteig:

 

[ianiention]

A very very muddy bike ride
Bike standing up on its own purely from the sticky mud

I must admit to pushing my bike through this horrible clay mud, which took ages and ages. Never going back to that route again.

E.T. home.

 

[Mcharza]

Visiting Lapland and bike parks. First park Ylläs. Might be the only park where you have to be careful because reindeers

 

[Stihldog]

Daily morning ride to get to some trails. Glad I look up once in awhile. Surprise!

Tried backing up but he just kept coming.

Eventually backed into a hiker. (Not sure who was worse).
The hiker and I backed into an exit of another trail. The big guy just kept coming.

We let him safely pass. 400lb+ black bear…couldn’t even care about us.

 

[Stihldog]

Then these two guys went squirrelly

Is that Burke? I wonder if it was the same one I saw last month when I was riding up the road to Deliverance. I yelled and yelled at the bear but he kept walking towards me. I pulled off to the side of the road as far as possible but it kept walking and eventually went into the bush beside the road around 20 feet from me. I was shaken but not enough to ride back down THAT road!

If I lived where you do a spare pair of undercrackers and a bog roll would be an essential part of my back pack kit ..
He was a big lad !

 

[Hobo Mikey]

If you had carried on riding towards him and shouting would he have run into the hedge or attacked.
