I think I’m getting a new Katie. I’ll post that number in the new year. Sports Illustrated every year for the bike cave

Three deer eating Christmas breakfast while I pass on icy paths in the morning fog.

As we don't have enough snow for making any cross country ski tracks yet, I can still use the bike in the (sooon to be) ski trails wihout doung any damage.

Wet roots are not enough for you eh , you need to throw in some ice as well Love those tyres.

Yeah it was everything, snow, mud, dry trails etc. and I agree about the tires, Piikkisika is just great spiked tire . I had them in my previous bike and even they were shit quality, they ride 10/10. These new ones, post bankgruptcy batch are better, little bit thicker casing too but still not even close to my summer DD/DH tires so have to be careful now when there`s not so much snow

Not enough ice in my area to warrant a set saying that if I seen a cheap set I have spare wheels that are never used. I did a hill a couple years ago and lad I was with lives there he had a set on . I was hugging the sides of track to avoid ice he just bombed up and down the middle.

Same as we have here in Helsinki, Finland

Well…after a month off the bike I finally got out, despite it being hot and windy

So good to get out.
Discovered some newly opened trails, too! Awesome day.

 

[Binhill1]

Nice day for a hurl on the bike. A lot colder but we've had a warm spell . Levo feeling a bit better but not 100% , won't change modes with TCU but will with remote . Few wild swimmers every time I see these folk I remember the song , who ate all the pies

They need all that blubber to insulate themselves from the cold water. It works for seals and whales.

Yes you see a few thin ones but the majority are what we call Big Bessies. Not that I can speak like but I don't disrobe in public.

…and what the hell is a Curry Club? (See menu)

…and what the hell is a Curry Club? (See menu)

UK pub chain called Weathspoons. Famous for cheap drinks and food.
It was my local clubs Christmas ride and we started in Spoons for breakfast, did a stupidly long ride and back to the pub for more food and drinks.
Then home to the wife for an argument

 

[Artoist]

First outing for a while other than going to work and canal paths,very enjoyable

 

[Bndit]

It has been dark and rainy for last couple of days but today it`s not, lovely morning ride.

 

[Binhill1]

Last bike run of the year and it was a topper. Left BCK in heavy rain with a lot of lying water . Forecast last night was light showers at Tarland. I'm glad I didn't look at 6am or I wouldn't have bothered. Rain all the way driving there. Checked weather on arrival, now saying heavy rain all day. Rained for a while not too heavy then totally dried out. Met 3 folk on trail maybe a dozen cars when I finished. Good day . Down to Red on TCU just made it.
