Up and down the Waltonberg in a kind of Paris Roubaix homage

Cheers @davros. I'll have a look. Birthday coming up so maybe a subtle hint of two. 😁
Day at Farmer John's bike park today. First time for my lad, initially intimidated he quickly turned that around to clearing the smaller step up. Beautiful weather and top day, more like these needed. Something special about a session day shared with the best half and the kid.

The only pic I took on my Saturday ride and didn't even take a good one at that.
Great day for it though and Matlock locals will know this pub. Can't beat it on a sunny day

Road ride in glorious weather on Saturday with the wife but too busy trying to keep up with her ebike to think about taking photos.
Got out again yesterday evening but it had turned a bit dull and breezy
In keeping with the weekend holidays religious theme we went hunting for 'cross slabs' on the old Glasgow to Whithorn pilgrim route. Hard to locate these 8th century remnants as they are being slowly reclaimed by the Galloway hills.
Annoyingly planned to go out this morning as a gap in the weather looked promising. Overslept thanks to noisy neighbours keeping me up last night so opted for a Zwift ride as the rain was coming down. Stopped raining 20 ins into my session and hasn't started again since, blowing hard though! So much for all the weather apps saying heavy rain from 12 until 7pm.
Frame just back from being repaired & resprayed, quick shakedown last night then a 2 hour local loop over lunchtime today. Showery, then full-on Bank Holiday rain!
More road nonsense, steep hills around Todmorden in very heavy rain!

A weekend in Cornwall doing some coastal path walks.
But got back today and squeezed in a BH ride 😁

Later start than planned due to a surprise visit from friends heading back from Mallaig..
So shorter loop out the door around Loch Earn, a combination of gravel, grass and mud along an old railway line and a rollercoaster road ride back (into a headwind..).
Loving this bike 🙂

After the sun of the weekend today's ride was brought to you by sodden bridleways, hedge gap hurricanes and squally showers

Double round of the exe estuary. Maybe I should have checked the boat times more carefully. But the second round was just as good and I needed a longer ride
Glorious day in the Moor, still moist in places, nice and quiet around the corner, away from the weekend tourists.

The kids’ mates were all away so it was just me and them.
Sunday morning at Noosa was surprisingly dead. Empty trails for us!
Bloodwood hub has thoughtfully installed facilities for the ‘cheats’
Weekend up in Killin.
Saturday at Comrie Croft. What a cracking little place this is...

I love it up there.
Been floored with shitty lurgy, wee break away. Had a play on some fun stuff up the Barrhill then interesting costal path

Mrs_oab got back on her bike for the first time in 6 weeks today. 🤗
A gentle wander along the old railway from Dunblane to Doune.
