Some of you are very lucky…

Some great photos folks.

You know the sky might be blue here in paphos, Cyprus. But I miss the green in those pictures.
🙁
But I don’t miss the wet that makes the green.

my local playground (albeit a 30 min train/car ride out of town)

not much in the way of trails around Munich… there are the trails along the river, but they are currently a bit of a mudfest. being mostly flat with a few short (20m) climbs and decents you need to be a bit of a whippet on a whippet bike to make the most of them. i am neither a whippet or have a whippet bike.

Give me a buzz if your visiting these parts and fancy seeing some of our coastal stuff 🙂

On the ground…
click on the cog thingy to view in HD

Local hills have some great gravel shooting tracks, and some nice bits of singletrack if you know where to look, also some nice all weather trails like this…

Miles of sandy single track above the coastline…

Miles of sandy loam singletrack inland a bit…

Back on the coast we got dunes…

And miles of techie rocks on the coast at low tide below that flat sandy stuff folk say is boring to ride on those freakin fatbikes

And if you don`t like sand and like roots… 😉

Oi! Cheat. 😀

I’ve just had a look,there’s several bags of rubbish and recycling blown down the street from the neighbours.

I’m very lucky here. Photo mid way down Boney Elbows.. 750m or so from my house!
I don’t think I could live anywhere better, we are surrounded by superb trail 🙂

The Peak District National Park, all pics taken during rides from home.

I live pretty close to the north downs, so 15 minutes of riding gets me here

This was an early morning ride where I had climbed out of the mist.

This use to be:

Now this; just to the right of me in the valley is our house:

And within 30 mins ride:

I don’t have any decent pics of my local stuff but everything in this video is less than 4 miles from my house….

Kirroughtree —- 5 mins away .

5 mile canal path gnar then I can head up here:

A pretty poor representation of what’s straight from the door

And 30 mins in the car

10 minutes walk

Though this is one of the drier bits at the moment, I hate it when it’s this bad.

On the doorstep? At the rented house is next doors car parked just far enough onto the pavement to stop anyone getting past with a pram, at the other one that we’ve just bought is a garden that resembles day of the triffids.

100m from door this morning

15 mins up Hill Darwen Moor

10 mins away Entwistle Woods, lots of little bits of windy Singletrack in the forest

My local trails all within afew miles and a ride from the door type ride.

Milk is still delivered to the door?

Only in civilsed parts of the world

And a fair bit more. The traffic’s rubbish though. 😉

Ours is similar to BWD above 🙂

Motorman: I miss Lossiemouth, please enjoy it!

For those who live in these places and complain about not riding, check out my contours!

Pretty much like that for at least an hours drive in any direction.

East mids for me so absolutely bugger all worth riding from my doorstep…. I really need to move… And quickly.

I am moving

I need to live near the sea…

Or some bigger hills…

Down here:

Then down here:

And my house is just behind the trees

Rideable from home, I can get up here:

and here:
