Bit of an epic oldschool XC ride for us yesterday.
Inners to Gypsy Glen, Peebles, Glen Tress, Up to the boundary then open hill to Lee Pen and back down into Inners.
Wouldn't fancy it in the wet.

Show us your sunny ride pics.
Looks epic. Sorry about the anti-spam being a bit sensitive.
Day drip to llandegla yesterday. Great conditions, bone dry everywhere.

I rode to work this morning as normal... Hoping this isn't the ride highlight of the bank hol weekend, despite my old lower back injury randomly going ping last night!
46km of lovely* road ride around Gleneagles, Glen Devon and Glen Dunning. Really cold start at home (3*c) but 24*c by the time we had finished.
*apart from one utter idiot who tried to overtake around a left turn and t-junction, we ended up debating the finer points of his driving judgement and ability...
Ok, you can banish me now, because not only is this pic from last weekend, i'm riding a bike without any suspension and funny bent handle bars, and even worse, it's got a 'lecy motor on it...... 🙂

Paddleboarded 10 miles on the Avon. 5 upstream, 5 down. Quite tiring.
Parking violation
Bidford on Avon
A big day on Deeside with temperatures in the low to mid 20’s. It felt way hotter heading up the steep south facing fireroads.
I rode Final Destination, ET, Mastermind and Heartbreak Ridge. 30 miles and 5000ft of up and I feel thoroughly beat up.
The repaired bridge at Cambus O’ May
Looking to Mount Keen from Culbean Hill
We are in the Peak for a long weekend, rode yesterday evening and then been out since early walking.

Took my lad up Dumyat on the macride. Half down, with some local trails thrown in.
He loved it even more than I did!
Bah! I'm off the bike until Wednesday due to PSA testing requirements!
To add - eldest_oab is back tomorrow after an epic 11 days volunteering at this event.

Trans-Savoie looks awesome. Slight loss of awesomeness due to use of 'analogue bikes' 😉
There's a big stand of woods between home and the Forest of Dean that's had *lots* of trailbuilding activity over the last couple of years. We did our best to ride most of them.
40km, 1300m of climbing, Dust everywhere. Beer to follow. Summer needs to hang on for a bit longer....

Though I hate to admit it, I've finally decided that [ new slabs notwithstanding] the Red Bull side is actually a bit shit.
MBR on the other hand is still marvelous.
I remember the sun. Think I last saw some in June.
We popped down South to the Lakes for a little Walna Scar and Dunnerdale Fells...
My inner curmudgeon is getting restless!
Not much sun, in fact a bit drizzly at times, but hey ho! 40 miles or so down from Kirkby Stephen to Settle via Wild Boar Fell and Hawes.
