Although my Emtb may be a little jealous from lack of use in the last couple of weeks, summer brings all new wonderful biking experiences to those who are willing to pay the price of admission.

Still too much snow on the top of Whistler but the trails at mid mountain are in great shape!

From the top, you must trust your bike and skills.

Saw these tiny flowers, Mrs irie says thinks they're wild orchids and quite rare. Edit: apparently they’re Common birds-foot-trefoil and common as muck :LOL:

Chichester Cathedral taken with telephoto, is about 300m from our house. Build over a Roman temple which was itself built over an earlier religious site.

A ride out of Westgate in Upper Weardale today with @The EMF ..
We've done this ride at least once a year for the last three years but usually in winter months so it was a pleasure to ride it with the sun shining ..
It's a tough ride from the off almost vertical but as it's on tarmac it doesn't really count ..
The first real challenge of the day certainly does count though ..Wayne tackling it with only two dabs after spinning out ..

Following the Burnhope Burn to our lunch stop at a shooters hut which unfortunately was locked ..which was a pity as a stiff wind had picked up and continued to be in our faces as we climbed up to nearly the 700m contour mark on Burnhope Moor ..

What goes up must come down and this last pic is from the 6km drop to Ireshopeburn which starts off rubbly then degrades over the next 3.5 km before becoming well surfaced again before the village ..warp speed with loads of drop offs giving a bit of "air" ..even if you didn't want it !😁
Another great ride out ..with another cracker to come next Saturday out of Dent in the very N.Western edge of the Yorkshire Dales with @Tonybro & @drewbirks..as well as Wayne ..of course !

Brilliant ride today with @The Hodge along with an excellent route description to boot……..like our last outing I can’t add much more to it. The weather was good but cold in the fresh breeze above the Wear Valley. Made a change for the Great Whyte to be covered in dust !!

Do you get the Dockan leafs growing near you. that is what we rub on a nettle sting and cures it quickly.

Yes, Dock does grown nearby and does seem to soothe nettle stings. However, both nettles and dock are acidic so perhaps it works because we believe it will.

Where ever
Still trying to build up some fitness so a ride on the old railway line from Killin to Callander. I thought railway lines were flat.😂 In the 28 miles I did I still managed to do 1822 ft of elevation and get a sore arse because I am not bike fit by a long way. I will get there.

On my way home, again, I had to take this picture on a very clear day. Mount Baker U.S. of A in the background.

But my morning climb was interesting.

IMG_7818.jpeg
Took me several minutes to escape from this uphill crash. Backpack was top heavy and I thought I could make it.

I was actually riding opposite of where the bike lay. Over backwards and pinned between the bike and backpack full of heavy wood decking. Couldn’t find the release straps.

Soft landing though …bike was just fine.
