Not like you to complain either is it haha.Just wish it would f7cking snow like above instead of the incessant overcast skies and rain making mud slops ever worse.
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
I’m assuming you didn’t knock on the door at number 22?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.

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.

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...
Actually looks like there's a touch of frost , in the first pic anyway.
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.

Never heard of a Muntjac.

Stunning day in the Yorkshire Dales yesterday, most routes passable (though more wet than usual with melting snow). Pic below is snack stop looking down Gunnerside Gill after a tricky technical descent (bunton hush I think) and before taking the snow-marked bridleway snaking along the hillside in centre of photo - superb trail, though not for the faint hearted!

It's a Chinese deer, imported over 100 years ago, probably by one of the stately homes in the UK when such things were not controlled. If you have heard of a drink called "Babycham" (a pear-based champagne-style drink for the ladies, very popular in the 60's), their logo of a small deer was modelled on the Muntjac.
Funnily enough, I always thought the Babycham logo was a baby chamois - hence the name.
I've ricoched down there and been spat out at the bottom quite a few times and always wondered how the hell did I do that
Hard enough when it's in the summer months ..but with snow & ice still in the mixI've ricoched down there and been spat out at the bottom quite a few times and always wondered how the hell did I do that

Indeed! It’s also different every time we’ve ridden it, usually end up racing a displaced boulder to the bottomHard enough when it's in the summer months ..but with snow & ice still in the mix
So you were doing 27 km in 27c . Balmy 9 here yesterday what a difference to minus 8 last week. Waiting for motor to arrive then get out . Been slumming it on E gravel bike.
Moon dust I've seen that on TV ,fake news I reckonDust?
