Pic of the Day

Bonnie !!

This is Bonnie who we adopted from a local cat rescue centre at 18 months old. Bonded with me and walks ahead of me everywhere outside. Waits for me to open the garage door and settles into her special place to keep me company while I mess with our bikes. Bright little Moggy with a bit of Siamese in her we think. A "puppycat".

While on the subject, the most notable thing I came across on today's ride was this young cat being taught to take a walk with his owner!

Anyway back to things Emtbing……had a few issues with the bike recently, had a 12km walk/push/ride/van recovery coming down from Windy Gyle in the Cheviots, the controller wouldn’t turn the motor on, then in the Yorkshire Dales the only way I got round was to not let the bike be stationary for more than 10 mins or press any button on the controller in that 10 min time frame so the motor wouldn’t switch itself off.
Fixed now new Purion fitted ( bike shop have to drop the motor to route cable )
£200.00……..ouch, but credit to Team Cycles on the Team Valley, Gateshead they turned the job round in s little over 3hrs after dropping the bike off

So what is the Boardwalk for , dubby grun maybe??

I don't understand what a dubby grun is.
But they are made mainly for walkers because of the damp and muddy ground. Cyclists are allowed to ride on some of them.

Muddy ground it means . So we are both right ️

Conquer any trail with the power of an eMTB – ride farther, climb higher, and explore more!"

But the old bike is killing me ..... Literally. Today, the motor hooked up badly when I dropped off a big tree root, hurtling me over the bars. Thankfully I'm a really good at controlling my falls, and I tucked and rolled, doing no damage other than creases in my helmet.

It's so hard going from a really capable EMTB to an older one with much less capability. I just keep forgetting the bikes limits.

Not sure about the Tuck but I can eat plenty Rolls

Should that be Slopwell rather than Chopwell?

Also what is he doing behind the tree? A crafty wee wee, perhaps? Just looking where his arm/hand is...

Summit of the Binhill today about seven miles from my house. From the top I can see probably thirty different wind farms , so why is my electric so dear.

The Frogner Park in Oslo is a perfect place for those who seek for shelter from a busy, modern city. But it wouldn't be world famous if it were just an ordinary park with trees, alleys and lawns. Within its boundaries, the Frogner Park holds the controversial sculpture installation by Gustav Vigelan

Got as far as the tree but my skill level failed at that point
