Pic of the Day

For sure. I certainly wouldn’t want to be near the business end of those horns. Then again, they likely wouldn’t chase you down like a silverback would. Check out the cyclist in the midst of it all.

Haha yes . Worst I've had was a pack of dogs early morning chasing me , that was scary you start missing the pedals and everything but they never got me. Uk not bad for man eating animals saying that plenty man eating females not sure what I would prefer to be caught by

 

[Nicho]

Thanks but these guys are bad enough to get past on a single track road .

In my dreams. This is about as close I’ll get to anything resembling a body of water. At least I could ride across it.

Trust in Norco as no mere mortal may ride on water though I’m vexed trying to find sandals large enough to fit the Bigfoot. The last time that I traversed the tributary was on a vintage Trek rigid.

A few pics from Swinley Forest, today was a glorious sunny day in the woods, apart from a 'moment’ on red 8 where the ‘lack of talent vs speed vs over confidence' equation had me nervously laughing in a 'hehehe I nearly died’ kind of way .

I can only turn water to whine…I mean lots of whining. , especially when my feet get wet.

Ha ! My wife is better than that. She can turn wine to whine after only one bottle

Stunning February sunshine. A grand day out in the mud(borrowed someone’s catchphrase there🫢)

No threat of bears here, just the odd deer or moose. ..

...and then there was this large male grizzly that we cautiously rode by as we made our way along the Bow Valley Parkway outside of Banff.

...and then there are some that will allow you to get close up and personal to take selfies with.

Nice picture of you and your bike, Steve.

I wasn't supposed to be riding today ..but my 2.30 pm appointment got brought forward to 10.00am so as the sun was shining ..it would be rude not to..
A 40mph westerly threatened to spoil things and had I been riding a normal mtb might well have have thought stuff it as I was heading straight into the teeth of the Gale..but as it was a there and back ride I knew the return would be fantastic ..and so it turned out ..
As a bonus the bike behaved impeccably..with no repeat of the 500 error code that had me worried a couple of weeks back .
Bolts Law route ( there & back to the Rookhope road from Edmundbyers )

Looking forward to meeting up with a few of the lads next Saturday in Rothbury..

Is that Fremington Edge in the distance?

Is that Fremington Edge in the distance?

It is indeed yes. It was so windy on top that the bikes hardly moved starting the descent on the grassy section

It's getting closer to the time when 8 bonny lads from N.E.England head to Torridon in N.W Scotland for a four day trip ..as mentioned previously you would be more than welcome to join us for a ride ( 10th to 14 th May ) ...

Riding with wife tomorrow. So yesterday went on a recce ride to see if I could get to one of our favourite rides which I'd tried to get to a couple of weeks ago but was defeated by silly thick mud churned up by forestry vehicles.

South Downs north of Chichester UK

Finally got there after trying many different no longer existing tracks shown on my obviously out of date Ordnance Survey 1:25K map app. Turned the corner and ... fook, looks like a massive celestial reaper has been at work! Nope, won't be doing this route tomorrow ...
