My 6 pack was charged last night for its first outing of the season tonight. I'm sure it gets earlier each year?
You still got a 6 pack wow ,I've got a muckle beer belly

Up in the mountains this morning came across this wee hut complete with wood burner. The nearest tarmac road was a good 5 miles away. Shame it was locked but what a place to chill.

It looks brand new ..and that wood pile looks fairly recent ..possibly a holiday let for those who really want to get away from it all..?Up in the mountains this morning came across this wee hut complete with wood burner.

I've came across some nice fisherman's ones their always locked though. I'm hoping to cycle in to one tomorrow in Raasay if track is OK. Mountain days and bothy nights you can't beat that.Up in the mountains this morning came across this wee hut complete with wood burner. The nearest tarmac road was a good 5 miles away.

The other side had a big window facing the mountains and the view down the valley. I thought the same about the wood stash. I looked through the window and it was very nice with cooker etc. Proberly a good job it was locked I might have claimed squatters rights. 
looked nice with my bike beside it.

Eventful day when out at chopwell woods todaygreat day hit a load of jumps I normally go round
ended with my mate hitting a surron riding up the official trail in reverse who then did a runner
If I'm reading that correctly ( I had to look up what a surron was ) ..your mate was going down the trail in the right direction and the other bloke wasn't?
It's why I don't ride at Chopwell Woods..too many arseholes living right on the doorstep ..hope your mate is OK.

Yeah exactly right mate
4 off them flying round the forest late yesterday afternoon
hit my mate on a blind corner luckily he swerved just enough to avoid a head on crash but caught his hand on his handlebars and crashed. Cut his finger luckily didn’t break it was lying at side of trail.
the lad flew off just missed me and my other mate the balaclavas you were wearing won’t help you much
was Wearing camera so have some footage (not of crash) but of lad doing a runner
I’m gonna contract forestry but can’t see what they can do tbh
Just have to be more careful
Thing is family’s, inexperienced riders use powerline trail as it’s the only official trail there with the black
could of been way worse

A few pics from yesterday's fantastic ride out of Torver in South West Lakeland with Dave , Dave & Wayne ..very hot ..but not as dry & dusty as predicted 
My route data shows 2,600ft+ ascent ..but that is 1,000ft short of Dave & Dave's figures which were within 100ft of each other but spookily my distance was roughly the same
..
As always great craic ..cheers boys

First proper wet weekend of autumn, first proper slam. Flat, innocuous, wouldn't think twice section of chalk trail, turned into a skate rink & washed out the front wheel so fast, I couldn't even get a foot out. Mate following couldn't even walk on it!
Great to get out and do some more proper trail riding on my new eBike.
Went with my son, who is properly fit and a decent rider, to boot.
He showed me how to get my bike off the ground and what it was really capable of!
Nice to be able to go on a 20km-odd ride with him and not get left behind.
