Pretty dry in Wales first day of May. Rubbish since 🙂
😆 The Blackley Clough descent in the second photo is anything but boring!
its great around hope cross, which ever way you climb/descend is a great bit of fun! hardly boring even as climbs!
A couple of the slower riders on the Welsh Ride Thing 😉 basking in the sunshine that blazed down upon us, almost non-stop, for three whole days...... 😉

Got to say we've hardly needed to wear coats at all this year (oops I mean summer) so far. We must be just lucky living in sunny Manchester, hem hem. Anyway, here's a dry picture out taking the bikes for a walk from last summer

snowslave - what route are you on there? I live nearish but I've never been riding in the Trough of Bowland.
It's been good here since the middle of April. Even this last week I managed to miraculously go out between showers, that was until yesterday, when I thought I might drown.

grum - that's on Whin Fell, going from Brennand Farm towards Rams Clough. Also interesting the other way, due to the big drop. It involves carrying, as you can see... 😉

I fear that normal service will resume shortly.
why look at a view when you could be texting your mrs?
more to the point, why take a road bike when there's singletrack like that around ❓
