This not riding isnt fun ! Today I went out on the Qs met up with Sharki and walked a fair few miles . Cream tea at the Combe Hotel went down well . Sharkis handling being off the bike(broken collar bone) sort of ok-ish .We had a great time taking in the views and chilling out.Comments ?

Just got back from a quicker 20 miler up there, the trails are bone dry and there's hardly anyone around as all the "grockles" have gone home for tea 😉
I was looking for the "Oblivion" descent into Bicknoller, I haven't done it for a long time but I think I found it (its VERY fast) 😯

Correct jam, scone, cream interfacing.

Masterful cream teasmanship.

take it you're not 'on top of it' yet then knottie? 🙁
if it's any consolation i spent yesterday going up and down the step ladder into the loft, pi55ing about with cable connectors and aerial leads, making holes in walls i now have to fill, all to arrive at a configuration for lounge furniture, tv etc, my GF doesn't really like....
hey ho.
get well soon fellas.

Looks good, liking the little stove thing you have. Surely though there's some crossover potential with the pic of the deer?... A little one would fit 😉

Looking forward to next weekend, hope it will match up to a Q's ride. There is a fair bit of road 🙁

Nice pics knottie! I always thought cream was a topping...... like, apple pie with cream on the top? or chocolate cake with cream on the top? JAM on the top?? Hmmmmm. Interesting.
Took some Purbecks pics today, riding ones for a change, will get them posted up soon.

Knottie - is that deer pic for real?

Sharki/Knottie - just look upon walking as cross-training. Enjoy the different pace, take in the scenery and chill. You're outdoors and that's what matters.
