Pic of the Day

[HiFiSworks]

I think the mods should remove that offensive picture from this mountain bike forum!

The last photo is taken on a hill

Turn the assistance off and see how you get on !

Quite happy riding it on or off but I have an analogue bike so use that more than the power bike as it's faster and better off road

Mouth of the Spey from both sides . Lovely day but very cold but I have a cold so probably feeling just me feeling leepit. Can anyone Botanists identify the plant growing through the whins. A woman was picking them and said they were Sloe Berries but they are not . Could they be Blackthorn I picked some but still unsure what they are. There was no foliage on them when I picked them late September. All info I find on identify them have foliage on them

 

[Arminius]

What is that. 🫣

New home for that parrot!

@Binhill1 What do you do with those rose hips?

Good to see you kept your flares from your dancing days Hodge

After a few rides they can be used as leg-warmers. Jane Fonda style.
That’s what I do


Apparently there’s new fabrics.

Struggled uphill to do a nice quick downhill before the rain came in again, from The Trundle to West Dean (UK, West Sussex). Just got going then went around a corner and ... oops ... stopped a bit quick!

Several trees still with foliage (because haven't had a frost yet) with waterlogged roots, blown down by recent gales. No way round these, had to lift my Rail over them. Fook :-(

This is looking back.

Edit: Replaced Hi-Res with Lo-Res pic.

Did a whole ten miles, wasn't feeling it much in the drizzle tbh.

Not the gorse or whins as we call them . The thorn growing through it. Rose hip is the favourite guess of today.

I rode my wife’s Turbo Levo SL today instead of my EXe; the Levo SL needed some love. Pics below at Hawes in Mesa, AZ.

Tequipas trail in the Santa Ynez Valley Mountains of CA USA. 180 deg view at the peak, looking to the right is Cachuma Lake, to the left, the Pacific Ocean overlooking Santa Barbara. Its a short 8mi loop, 2300ft up If you are fast, 13min or less down. Rode with my 2 analog bikers so had a chance for some pics.

the ends look like rose hips, bigger fruit than what we would see in western Canada, we make rose hip jelly from ours and rose hip tea but a lot of work for what you get

Yes you could be right. I will be looking at the plants in spring and summer to see the leafs etc. Seen a recipe for rosehip gin . I would need to buy jars for making it and probably 2ltrs gin just want to make sure before I poison myself.

We would miss you!

I think their for the bin . Everyone has a different opinion as to what they are. Juniper was mentioned today.

Juniper? I don‘t think so. Would be perfect choice for gin. If you open one it will look like this, at least good for tea!

I reckon they're the best grips out there the Oury lock-ons!

Loads of great random pictures of folks bikes leant on stuff or just great scenery.

Is there a place for "Picture of the Day"
Can be your e-bike or the great terrain you have ridden.
Only stipulation, it has to be recent.

Might not be everyones cup of tea, but I love the places I ride.

Can I kick off with this evenings "daily exercise" run in beautiful Bilsdale, North Yorkshire,UK View attachment 28181

Apologies if this has been done before and died.

Edit: Oh and can we keep it to pictures (preferably one or two), and not degenerate into chat about what mudgaurd / tyre/ cable end , or whatever?

View attachment 128966 I could leave them frozen till spring or summer . Then could probably identify it with the leaves on the bushes by then. Not giving up yet. An hour of my life picking berries i will never get back.

Great photo but something doesn’t add up! How did you get your bike to a location like that in the Lake District without a single splash of mud or sprinkling of dust? Even the tyres look brand new!

 

[RustyMTB]

There's a suspicious number of bikes in the what did you buy thread that look like housecats. I wonder if some of them are ornaments!!

Could be like one of those lads you see in the car park occasionally out polishing the car .

You know I was thinking the same myself but I came along the road then I was over the grass but yeah I see what you mean and it does get used

im laughing here yeah it does look wrong and very clean there but it was very dry until I went into hodge close area from Blea tarn, but it does get used in all conditions

Clean bike before my ride simple, enjoy the forum instead of being a house cat and finger pusher who complains about folk I thought this was a friendly forum

It is Rose Hip the seeds inside make very good itching powder, drop those down someone’s top they will be itching for a while entertainment of the 70s

Obviously you don’t like seeing nice clean bikes before there ride, don’t understand why ur on this forum then, we are all here supposedly on here to enjoy each others posts, if ur going to be critical stay off the forum
