Not that warm in the midlands when the pic was taken.
Chilly wind on the Malverns but a beautiful day

And the trails are dry, fast, loose and dusty 🙂
No pics but I had a lovely early 40 mile spin on the road bike and though it was a bit nippy first thing it really did feel like the start of summer 🙂
It was a bit nippy at the Chase first thing this morning. I got whipped by a passing branch on a cold erect nip....that really stung! Didn't take long for it too warm up though and it felt lovely.
The off piste stuff was riding really well, with all if the gloopy mud pretty much gone.

Was up riding around coniston taking in walna scar and the cracking (bone dry) singletracks of Dunnerdale. Best ride of the year up to now 😀

How do you post images?
It says to post the "URL" but the image is in my phone gallery and there isn't a "URL"
It needs to be hosted somewhere on the internet, so there is a URL. Flickr, Picassa, that kind of thing.
How do you post images?It says to post the "URL" but the image is in my phone gallery and there isn't a "URL"
Print it out and push it against the screen really hard.
if its on facebook right click the image and click "copy image url"
Not sure if you can do that off a phone tho, maybe only from a desktop.
Ridgeway was nice and dry and sunny.Bit windy in places quiet around there.Busy on the canal by Wotton rivers etc.Big canoe race on.Never saw any boats race delayed dead body in canal in Devizes.

Stu : There's no power in my legs these days so i dunno if it's worth coming out riding wi you's as i'd hold you up big style but I'll certainly meet up wi you's at some point, the weather up here in Aviemore for the past week has been amazing so i've been happy to dawdle everywhere and take my time and admire the views….get sunburnt…drink from my hip flask 😀
mrmo : we'll have less of that thank you very much, go and start your own thread entitled "[i]Show us your shit weather pics"[/i]
soma.
It's not about the speed.
But it is about the company so don't give us any of that shit.
A ride with you is worth it at any speed. 8)
We can have a nice bimble with a few sips of something nice and just talk shite in the forest.

Awesome day in the Cotswolds today. Never ridden there despite being 45 mins away and working in Cheltenham for the last year! Endless dry singletrack. Blooming brilliant.
Some ace pics on this thread... keep 'em coming!
Our pootle in the sun, with some lecking around. It was great until middle_oab didn't concentrate on a seriously potholed bridleway and took off (I was quite proud of the initial jump he did...) then baled into the dirt knees first... 😕

Matt is there now a cycle path to Doune from Dunblane? It needed to be done to link up to the sustrans route from the train station. I've only been on the road (once, and funnily enough it was the day I met you) and it didn't feel particularly comfortable mixing with the fast traffic.
I had a bit of a local epic yesterday. Along the Forth to Boness, over the Bathgate Alps and hooshed it across to the very southern end of the Pentlands. I crossed over a track that looks like never sees any traffic and came out at Little Sparta - Ian Hamilton Finlay's garden full of art. Quite wonderful - it's going to be open to the public this summer so I'll be heading back there again.
I then rode the length of the Pentlands, crossing over Monk's Rigg on the way back to Leith.
I feel like I squeezed every drop of spring out of the day.
