Was out riding on the moors last night covered from head to foot in stinky mud, swarms of flies following me about and socks squelching in my shoes.

Felt like I was some kind of b grade primeval swamp creature. Bit of a contrast between the glossy marketing imagery used in the magazines 😀

Having said all that, the SUN was SHINING and I had one of those rides when I felt my mountain biking mogo had returned.

All the (mud avoiding) road riding seems to have given my fitness and strength a bit of a boost, and it was great to be out in the fresh air, having to concentrate 100% of the time, shifting my weight about, navigating the technical bits and having a blast.

F*cking brilliant.

Good man..where did you go?
My pal and I are off out to Crazywell Pool tonight,leaving city centre about 11:00ish and getting home very very late 😀
Might even have a quick dip….big might!

Baildon Moor in West Yorkshire.

Had become a bit depressed with all the rain and was wondering if I was becoming a roadie.

Gorgeous….think you’ll be drier on Yorkshire moors 😀
We’re at Dartmoor/bogmoor 🙂
I sense the power of Cube is strong within you.
Don’t succumb to the DARKSIDE!
