Great thread!
January: A great month. Lots of dry, frosty rides, spent more time on the mtb that month than any other bar June.

[img] 
[/img]
March: Damp out, camp out.
[img] 
[/img]
April: Away with work.
[img] 
[/img]
May: Top of the nearest hill. Shame it's out of focus, but just about good enough for instagram.
[img] 
[/img]
June: Pembrokeshire
[img] 
[/img]
July: local ride with Paul and Adam
[img] 
[/img]
August: Couldn't not have a picture of a ditch with water in it.
[img] 
[/img]

[img] 
[/img]

Been a vintage year on the bike.
Looks it 🙂
Must've been a pretty dull August eh nedrapier?
Ha! Not really! 2 weeks of drainage work, including a week of becoming steadily less poor at operating a digger.
I can't compete with the majority of the stunning locations here, with the exception of a week in Majorca in October...

Is September out on the West Pennine Moors somewhere near Tockholes or Entwistle? Looks familiar from my road rides.
Good spot chakaping. That's exactly where it is! About half a mile past the turn off to Tockholes if I remember correctly.
Nice pics Russ, need more February though 😀
And yeah... A675 just before Bolton Sailing club...
Get off my land!

Did you not get the paperwork through Lowey 😀
And yep, sadly the mountain bike has been a bit neglected this year. I'll do my best to rectify that in the new year.
Not going to be all about bikes here

Erm, yeah, more snow photos. This day in particular was a surprise. Not a huge dump of snow, but the 1st sun we'd seen in a while and still enough to get fresh lines.

Fresh lines again, sometimes a little boot packing required, but sometimes you just need to earn your turns.

I'm the one in the middle.
Sorry Leku ..Am I missing something ?
He looks like he’s missing a kidney...
Had a week in Molini with Riviera Bike. Went over the bars on first day and thus the bruise. Santa Cruz were in town later in the week and one evening I ended very drunk with CG (top bloke).
First year living in the Quantocks, like a kid in a sweetshop.
Not sure what happened in January, but...

This very enjoyable thread has made me realise that I’ve totally wasted 2017.....
12 wasn't enough 😉
Here's how mine went. I've not included any bike pictures since they're all basically on [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/2017-a-year-in-mountains ]the "Year in Mountains" thread[/url] already.
January - Went up to Calderdale to see some friends and got roped into taking some donkeys and a three year old for a walk.
[img] 
[/img]
February - Our favourite guinea pig, Harris, died in October. This was one of the better photos I got of him this year.
[img] 
[/img]
March - Blazing sunshine on a bike ride with my mate Rosie and her dog Scout.
[img] 
[/img]
April - An amazing day of cocking about fixing cars and playing on fifty year old motorbikes.
[img] 
[/img]
May - Bought a Porsche in February, drove it to Stuttgart in May. Went via Spa for some classic motor racing, Koblenz for some great trails with the guys from Canyon, the Alsace for more bikes and Carnac in Brittany for some sailing.
[img] 
[/img]
June - Mucking about on the Avon at Stratford. Definitely didn't crash into any bridge pillars.
[img] 
[/img]
July - Finally, after 15 years of trying, got in the top 20 at the nationals for our boat, despite the spinnaker downhaul being waaaay too short.
[img] 
[/img]
August - Sheffield Folk Train with my wife's Appalachian dance group.
[img] 
[/img]
September - Holiday to Cornwall and kayaked from Falmouth to Helford and back.
[img]

October - Got to Matlock Bath Illuminations after four years of living in Matlock.
[img] 
[/img]
November - We go away for Thanksgiving every year (my wife's American), this year we went up to the Lake District and canoed about Windermere. Absolutely no offensive jokes about First Nations were made.
[img] 
[/img]
December - A delayed fifth anniversary trip to Whitby, where we spent our honeymoon.
