Ride for 1-1/2 hours and then spend 3/4 hour cleaning the bike, what's not to like, eh?

And if I ride with the Mrs it's 2 bikes.

Oh.

PS Mrs just back from Dollar Nr Stirling in Scottishland, fcking

Took the underused normy out for a spin, ony to discover the back brake needs bleeding*. And learnt that there's an actual Acacia avenue round here.

*Doesn't work at all

I’m assuming you didn’t knock on the door at number 22?

With temperatures in the -15C range (and the house full of grandchildren) I could't get out in the weekend.
The forcast is not good, its going to be +5 or even more the coming days. So I decided I had to do a trip on the Haibike before everything becomes only ice and slush. This was my first trip (1.5 hours / 27 km) of the new year.

 

[Mcharza]

@Anders You have the same weather as we have here in Finland. Now it's just warm, ice and slushy

Well...for all you Northern Hemisphere lot who are enduring winter - here's a couple of shots from a very dusty summer ride here in Auckland...

Trick of the light…was about 27° and that was a little dust bowl I was jumping and riding over.

Dust?
I have heard of the concept ( somewhere in the back of my mind )..but rumour has it that it's way overrated ?

I went to Sherwood Pines after almost a five-week gap. I was expecting it to be wet and muddy. It wasn't, just slightly damp, but grippy! The sun came out and I took a pic at post 12. The signs are old but the posts are new, new bench too!

The signs are supposed to say "Dog Soldiers". The whole area was for troops in training in trench warfare for World War One. Forest England have named the various sections of the forest trails according to names used at the time. They have names like Lewis Gun Range, Death Valley etc.

Nothing to do with biking but I took this in the garden yesterday. It's a Muntjac. It's an adult and looks to be in good condition. We have lived there 38 years and it's the first one we've seen.
