Rickos, me, Si and Winnie (trying to trackstand for ages….)

Welcome to 1990. There must be a higher res version of this out there.

and

i know it’s sacrilege to say it, but i never loved that JMC picture due to the excessive leg angle/extension. there are better pictures/videos of him with more controlled style, IMO. 😯

anyways, here a few pictures i love, taken by my talented mate and featuring yours truly:

Trailhound – not sure of the -lace tbh, we took a detour off the fire road @ llandegla then followed it to the Pondarosa, was nearly 1ft deep in mud on the moor.

Cracking ride though.

Am from the wirral and try to ride the trail every other weekend, if any mates don’t come I get on the train then ride from wrexham to the trackand do the black run. Your welcome to join us next week as we are doing the same route again

But I like it.

A couple of my recent favourites from the Tour Doon Hame

Llangorse Loop

Its probably my favourite Black Mountains route and I ride loads round there.

Cheers Hugor.

Lord herefords knob looks sweet too. I’ve not ridden that one yet (though I have had a go on fan y big).

Love the reaction of the crowd in Steve’s pic

Burton Dassett Hills, The Warwickshire Alps.

@ Rob Hilton’s pic: looks like another lecture on trail passing etiquette taking place!

PATRIOTPRO How do I upload a photo? Thanks

You’ll need an online photo account like photobucket.com

Upload photos to the online album, then copy and paste the image URL into the post on STW. If you use Photobucket, hover over the album view thumbnail and then left click on “Img Code” box at the bottom of the dropdown that opens up. It’ll copy the code for you, then paste this into a reply on STW.

Not mine, but just a compelling image for me;

Strathpuffer 2008

Nothing like some real-world awesome pics, as above, to brighten the day.

Couple from the Pentlands, great when dry…

Towards the end of a group ride organised here, looks like a summer evening but is, in fact, November. Like the ‘relaxed’ vibe. (L-R; Alec, 13thfloormonk, AlasdairMc, Northwind, V8Shinprint)

And horsing down ‘goat track’, led by TheBikeChain of this perish (sic). Same background ridge, btw.

Me:

Alps (spot the riders!):

Not me (nicked from Dirt):

Too hard to pick out an individual picture, but Sterling Lorence is the first photographer I remember seeing whose pictures seemed to reflect the conditions we usually ride in. So many pics are obviously taken in 5 minutes of sun but his make me want to go riding regardless of the weather.

Some great shots here. Love all the “wilderness” shots.

Pic taken by a mate of mine, of a riding buddy having a not-so-successful jump session. Makes me wince everytime I see it, but also chuckle, because I know he walked away with nothing but a bit of bruising!
