Lovely day here too - we were up for a CX race in Northwich. Blue skies but my first taste of CX mud and oddly sapping soft wet ground (it's only my second race so it's all new). Great race thanks to Weaver Valley CC!
Drooling over those photos though - wish we could have done everything in one day - days off like this are just too rare.
I missed you sfb but you were disguised!
Nipped to glentress instead, was an amazing day, larches golden and Beeches almost orange against a blue sky. I wonder if the uni club has been caning the Pentlands, can't think of any other big clubs.
Got up and went for a jog.
Took all my will not to get the bike and go up the hill. Jimmy and me had a plan to paint my front room and we stuck to it.
He was on call all weekend and i really needed the help to get the job finished.
We spent the day justifying the lack of riding on the basis that it was super wet and we would make a mess of trails. Seems by what you guys have said that it is in bacd nick regardless.
What a day though, the view of the hills from all the angles along colinton road and woodhall were amazing.
Got some free time on wed... hopefully it is nice then too!
It's been a great weekend here (Berkshire/Oxfordshire).
Did a 40mile loop on my SS up onto the ridgeway trail via some cheeky singletrack, and home via the pub yesterday. twas great.
today was great weather too no riding though, family walk instead...
All round a good weekend.
I'm waiting to see a proper downside to climate change...
Persuaded Jnr to get out for only his second decent ride of the year - took him for a steady 4 miles up the Tissington Trail from Ashbourne to Tissington in glorious autumn sunshine and stunning Peak scenery.
Then met up with the rest of the tribe and went to Dovedale with the hordes.
Lovely day today
i stay often in that area visting partners folks, are there any maps / signed routes - i've found a PDF on the hills, but it doesnt give much away. would love to do some cross while i'm up here.
Not sure about maps. Trouble is the Pentlands is an area I know so well I never really think about it. However if you look for Harlaw Reservoir on a map and just head off on any of the trails from there you won't go far wrong. Check out the woods next to the trails too. There's often some tasty singletrack hidden away. There are trails and tracks everywhere up there, so you won't have too many problems.
got a tan up at lee quarry this morning.
it was lovely; loads of people up there playing about on their bikes too. good times...
Lovely day for a pootle in Zummerzet, just what the doctor ordered for anti-depression therapy.
I woke up this morning and though today has to be a beach day so pack girls and kit into the car and off we go, leaving Mum at home for ultimate brownie points, spent a few hours larking about on the beach - brilliant.

I did garburn pass first thing this morning, bit cold but was amazing.
