Pic of the Day

Nearly cleared up but actually tore a muscle from the coughing, which made the coughing even more excruciating . Fair to say Christmas was a write off.

Yepp, same here in middle and northern Germany. Rain for weeks, floodings, fallen trees from storms and wet grounds and the weatherforecast can make you depressive……

Can only get better next year!

 

[Tonybro]

Well last ride of the year and the first since early November for a number of reasons. Certainly picked the weather window - less than 30 minutes after getting back, the usual piss-wet service resumed and not stopped since.

Lovely clear views from the Pike (Rivington)

Then the view got better up at Winter Hill summit...
In this shot you should be able to see Great Hill, Cartridge Hill and Darwen Hill with Jubilee Tower. Unfortunately you will need a very good imagination.

Happy new year to all.

Last ride of the year was fun at Fremington Edge, Yorkshire Dales, messing around on the ‘Ard Rock trails

Back out there again tomorrow morning

 

[Slymobi]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all that venture in the forum. I'm out for the foreseeable !! with back issues and my bike is also in limp mode so I will be back eventually ( hopefully ) with a new beast to post all my mediocre adventures. Keep up the amazing sharing here as I for one appreciate and enjoy the thread. May 2024 be kind to each and all

Ending the year on a high note…

It was -5 today and we finally got a light dusting of snow. The rocks were nice and slippery lol.

Happy New Year everybody!
Below is my last ride in 2023 across the Lahn river valley with my youngest son, whose bike received some christmas upgrades.
The valley had been completely flooded a few days earlier after a prolonged period of rain. Now hoping for a dryer second half of the winter for less tarmac and less muddy rides ...

The attachment or pic didn’t work for me. But I’m going to predict you had a good time

Edit; ah there it is!

Weather is not too shabby in the hood for 1/1

 

[irie]

Due to clear up today at about midday, but until then strong winds and heavy rain. Ground is already soaked, everywhere slippery as fuck or mud so deep you stop dead in it.

One guess as to why I didn't go out today

 

[RustyMTB]

Went out like the true masochists we are, straight into a gale & some obliging coppers let us through a roadblock AND took a photo of us.

Riders of the storm!

What happened with the bar ends of the left MTB that looks like lacking some tire inflation?

 

[RustyMTB]

As the weather was so bad, we stayed off the trails, so that lad took his road bike out for a change. We had trouble keeping up with him!

Cheapjack can't afford a rear fender for his partner, oh dear

To be fair we’ve been riding every day for the last five days and it hasn’t rained once. This was just from the trails. It did start to rain up on Fremington Edge yesterday so we headed straight back to the car

Er, think again, maybe she chooses not to have a horrendous looking bike with an ugly mudhugger fitted

I like the look of your front mudguard, it look sturdy. Which one is it? Thanks!

Yes I'm doing roads on by tourer / Gravel as everything is filthy off road. I'm fairly enjoying it and as you say as Ebike fast till you come to Hill .

Defender mudguard

Is it sturdy of floppy?

Last days of late Croatian autumn... now time for a few days of winter and then 9-month summer
