I’ll get us started. Long Mynd, 40km+ finishing – of course – on Minton Batch. Foggy, Claggy, Cold, lots of muddy doubletrack and a slippy as a slippy thing covered in washing up liquid. Or to put it another way, Fun 🙂

Always good to get the first push out of the way early. (ahem, who was navigating)

So great day out. Really must ride there more often. Only an hour away.

Right who’s next? I’m hoping other peoples pics can make me forget tomorrow is Monday!

Torridon…clear sky’s and dry trails!

built a new line and rode it

I had a 70 mile solo road ride up to the Ribble Valley, with 2,150m climbing. Bit hazy but great weather.

Glad I put Whalley Nab in the front end of the loop, made Nick o’ Pendle and Birdy Brow afterwards seem quite manageable!

Found some lovely lanes to avoid riding through Blackburn too.

🙂

Kbrembo – stunning pics. I have to get there somehow soon!

OP – Mid ride cake with Bono… impressive!

🙂 I’ll let Rex know. Not sure he’s been tagged as a Bono Look-a-like before !

@rm – now that’s a fatbike looking entirely appropriate…

Black Forest this week

Yeah right, that scene is neither black nor forested.

You can’t pull the wool over my eyes.

Tuesday, Glen Sax Gypsy Glen loop…

Managed to get a riding permit for both Saturday and Sunday, perfect dry dusty trails on both Lantau and the New territories.

Didn’t get out on Sunday, but rode Friday, Saturday and today.

Friday – Ohakune Old Coach Road, NZ

Saturday – Timber Trail, NZ

Today – Craters of the Moon bike park, Taupo, NZ

I love that bridge!

Some great photos and looks like the weather back in the UK was nice for a change!

Quick road ride in the hills round here on Saturday:

@Kbrembo- those photos are stunning. I think I need to move.
