Pic of the Day

Well, no Cidre in Denmark and this sounds like the perfect @Zimmerframe drink! But liquorice beer decent?

Real ale man myself ( minus the cardigan & pipe )..golden / pale ales are favourites..but don't mind the occaisional pint of the black stuff ..which has been used as currency / thank yous with @The EMF for bike maintenance beyond my limited skill set ..he loves the stuff

Love Guinness, but not a fan of Black Velvet personally

If you arrive late to the party and need to catch up .. a "Depth Charge" is perfect.

That's a shot glass of Port dropped into a pint of Guinness, a couple of those and you're rapidly in the talking gibberish zone.

Or the Guinness cocktail glass method ... though it's a bit of a waste of nice Guinness !

Just back in after a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon session, a quiet gallon of the black stuff followed by a delightful corned beef and beetroot sarnie……..enough practice for one day

That is what we call here a Submarine, but Pils with a „sunken“ glass of Schnaps.

We live in totally different worlds my friend………..I live in an ex mining town ravaged by the pit closures of the 1980’s and 90’s. The only time I’ve seen that type of drink glass is in an old James Bond film

Forget about Martini. Try VW (3cl Vermouth Bianco with 3cl Williams Pear Schnaps). Some like it BMW, Bit More Williams (Edit!). Famous aperitif in local steel industry.

This is visual proof for all the English Naysayers who refuse to believe that we get rain and mud in SoCal.

It was a beautiful weekend in West Texas out at the off road club ranch. I've ridden dirt motorcycle and pedal-only MTB's out here for years, but this was the first trip on the Trek Rail 7. It performed awesomely. These trails are designed for off road dirt motorcycles and there's a lot of gnar out there in the form of rocks, ruts, ledges, steep inclines, and steep descents. I don't find many MTB'ers who like riding out there, so being alone I wasn't able to get any riding pics. I hope that changes in the next few weeks as one of the guys at the bike shop is taking our shop demo Rail 7 out there.

 

[HORSPWR]

It was a lovely day to ride in Socal.

Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Leonardo Dicaprio, Kim Kardashian... they all have/had houses in town. But none of them rode these trails. All that money and no mountain bikes. What a waste!

You may have passed Leonardo on the trails and never known!

A bit stingy on the corned beef!

...or just way too much beetroot ( as in all of it ! )..swap that out for raw red onion to destroy everything within 50m with your breath today ..but bloody nice at the time

It’s not my breath I’ve got to worry about mate.

Riding through a streambed is cheating!

Should stand you in good stead for the campfire farting contest

 

[billwarwick]

Agree….can see a tiny stream. Mud?…not so much

 

[Binhill1]

Even the usual dry tracks were wet and filthy easily washed off though. Highlight of day getting fresh eggs pound for six. Managed to get clean before the gaffer returns .

Just spent the best part of 2 hours giving Mrs and my bikes a comprehensive 'spring clean', don't want to look at that, horrible to clean off.

 

[2WHLFUN]

Only dry trails for a few hundred miles along the Colorado Front Range. Lake Pueblo trails are a little slice of desert between mountain ranges.

I sprinkled hose on wheels and sponged the rest it was ok. Worst was the backs of my legs the red had went through my breeks on to them . The joys of a UK winter

 

[Mcharza]

I haven't gotten into mtb mode yet. But the dirt bike is nice to ride inside

Yeah, I didn't know they had bikes either. Google indicates Felt builds them to Rossingol's specs. Neat. 2WHLFUN, that looks a lot like that riding place I mention in my earlier pic out in west Texas. Rocks, hills, and cedars. You just need to throw in a few mesquite trees...LOL!

Only 4 or 5 hours away!

Went out yesterday in the light rain because due to rain much more heavily today (which it is). Took a route which avoided the worst mud and ended up in West Dean, a pretty village with the Lavant River running through it. Then stopped dead when saw this in the village and took some pics - a tanker dumping treated [sic] human sewerage into the river Lavant. The river then flows through agricultural land overflowing its banks and then through the city of Chichester (where I live) and other built up areas before reaching the sea a few miles to the south. I'm also a kitesurfer but obviously not going anywhere near the eastern Solent where I normally kitesurf with this shit flowing into it! Southern Water are fucking bastards.
