yeah nearly ripped my knee off 5 minutes after getting there... but persevered and glad I did. I have no where to post videos or I'd stick the clips up.

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... ๐Ÿ˜•

One from today.
3 days, 3 rides, 3 different bikes.

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.

Ardverikie Estate on Sunday. The high pass crossing is still a large snowfield so yet more hike'a'bike and down scrambling to avoid it. Snow should be cleared in a month or so!

Above Valmayor reservoir, to the west of Madrid, with El Escorial in the distance. FWIW it's pissing down today.
