Welcome to winter
It was 17 degrees here last weekend! Spring can be just as slippery with all the rocks, roots and structures covered in a thin layer of green slime or moss. As far as roots go, wet, diagonal or steep - pick two and you will be ok (probably). We don't call it winter until the rain doesn't stop at the bottom of the mountain and the trails are covered in snow at mid mountain ;)

I assume you mean 17 degF not 17 degC.
17 degF is minus 8 degC. Proper chilly! o_O

I hope so, but he's from Vancouver so I thought he might be working in Fahrenheit. And its Vancouver! And the post was about Winter.
But he was stating it as a high temperature ..as it being reasonably high for the time of year ..that apart its hardly in the Arctic circle ..and shares the same seasons as this country ..

I can “bear” witness to @KnollyBro ‘s claim that the weather temperature was 17 degrees at a certain point of the day. I remember it well …it was sunny 😎

Numbers can be confusing in this country. 😉

I’ve been off the bike for 3 months due to an injury and surgery. I finally rode again about 2 weeks ago. Here are some pics from my last few rides. The pics are mostly of my bike; I clearly love this thing. Arizona has incredible riding near the city for quick rides, plus places like Sedona, Flagstaff and Prescott. The weather is perfect. It is gonna be a good riding season.

Apart from the cactus, the landscape looks identical to where I used to live and ride in Central Australia.

Yesterday's ride out of Traquair , Scottish Borders...with Alan, Wayne & Ant..
The ride was a mix of Southern Upland Way, Innerleithen Red Route & Minch Moor Road .
Unfortunately not to long into the ride Alan developed a problem with his brakes ..as in he had none !..
A trail side attempted fettle couldnt rectify the problem ..and after agreeing to meet up again further into the ride he rode back to a bike shop in Innerleithen ..but the temporary fix was very short lived and he unfortunately had to admit defeat 😔
We were sorry to see him go but we will catch up again soon .
The first few pics are mine ..mainly on the first section of the Inners Red climb to the top of Minch Moor featuring Ant & Wayne ..
