Chilled ride around all the local farmland byways. A few have been ploughed over and crops growing, assume they're not supposed to do that. Beautiful weather.
Looking East at the Water pumpimg station, Manston Road (near Acol)?
Yes 🙂
The 2nd is from the other side of Acol on return.
More Purbeck tonight with some cheeky riding on on the Ranges
Wait! Is that a snow covered mountain in E. Kent?
No, just a pile of excavated chalk in a farm field.
More likely to be dried sewage sludge
25km down to a spot in Glen Feshie where we reckoned we'd not have any overnight visitors.
It turned out a bit chillier than forecast (-3C) so I had cold toes overnight - I hadn't taken my down socks. I had remembered to lie a water bottle on its side though, so I got water for coffee this morning.
Saw a young crossbill on the chimney of the cottage we were camped at. Like us, he was taking advantage of the morning sun to warm up.

Little spin out in the Suffolk sunshine(must learn how to post images on the forum soon🤔😜)
Awesome conditions in the peak. We did a nice 40km Jacob's ladder route.

Intentions were to do a big one today but had to replace a locker door handle on the camper. 5 minutes job to change the handle and 30 minutes to swap the lock barrel over. It just didn't want to stay in.
Did a few hours local with the dog. Nice and warm.

Pretty much perfect weather! A small bit of wind and it wasn't too hot or cold, 10-13 degrees all the way round. Wasn't even busy which surprised me a bit seeing as it's Saturday and sunny. Pen Y Fan was a sea of walkers though when I drove past, guessing everyone went up there the easy way.
Stunning photos and riding folks!
Landlord duties called today, so no riding after a long morning out. And i'm not posting pictures of me servicing 8 bikes today in the sunshine, tapps aff for some of it...
Folks another great weekend of riding pics and inspiration and it's only Saturday!!!
Some fantastic images of our wonderful countryside and all that it offers. Great to see so many kids enjoying the sun and their bikes as well.
Hit the road today for a few miles in the sunshine, I've been keeping the MTB for after work blasts to clear the head.
Nice ride outwards Brighouse yesterday, was only meant to be a quick ride but turned into abit more.
Don’t think I’ve seen the trails so quiet in a long time, was great! Either everyone was at the pub or watching Philips funeral?
Showing my bro and his girlfriend around my local trails today, so will head out towards Hebden way I think
An hour at the pump track with my son this morning. He wants to go back next week. Look on his face says it all!

Great photos as always .I haven't taken many lately as I have been having too much fun playing with others on my new bike on dry trails at last 🙂
Great morning fir a bike ride!
@robbo1234biking win's the week's thread and internet for today with that look 8)
No pics but managed to get up Boltby Bank on my road bike in 8 min 40 on my first ever and last ever attempt this morning 😂. If that’s the 54th hardest climb I don’t wanna try any others, I sounded like a seal when I got to the top.
two days of riding and I'm dead. Hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow. Visited pitmedden forrest where the trails were dry and dusty. Really good trails as well.
off this jump
how I ended up lol
Found a gnarly exposed trail in the fod today, so dry and dusty!
This was this morning’s ride, a good road hack to get the legs spinning, some fast gravel, techy XC and a coffee half way around, perfect (for me at least)
Scar House Reservoir, Nidderdale. Photo doesn't do justice to how blue the water looked

Luvly ride in the Fod today, very dusty.

This is Spitfire track, formerly known as Pig slop track. Difficult to imagine it axle deep in mud and gloop, which is how it is over winter. I renamed it as I learnt that this was a former boundary of a secret development and final assembly location for Spitfire aircraft, near Salisbury.

There's so many good trails there, love the steeper ones especially
Local one on the new bike, every bugger and their dog was out - saw a queue at a pub to get into the packed beer garden.

Went walking the local trails this morning to do a bit more trail trimming as the brambles are spreading fast.
Had to do a few repairs from the MXs that decided it was a good idea to ride the jumps the wrong way last night.
Went back out this afternoon to set up the forks on the SL after the upgrade.

So glad I've been stuck in a Supermarket delivery van in Manchester City Centre all weekend 😳
So has Abigale all over South Yorkshire, was on a 9 7 shift, at least she is saving money for when she can disappear 😎
Brilliant local ride in the Calderdale dust. Whiskers lane bit my rim
.
Meh, I'll try again in the morning...
Monk - what are those inner bar ends? I’m doing a similar experiment and looking for an aero tuck second hand position option.
Did a Race Saturday, 3hrs of hard work which you can see on this last lap photo:

Limited numbers and jeez, despite me showing all my best numbers and fitness I didn't do well despite 3hrs in the threshold HR zone and no issues. Oh well.
Long Mynd Saturday with the Mrs and a couple of friends, Peak yesterday with the Mrs. Great weather and the trails are running fantastically!

There sure is a lot more action on this thread when the weather is nice 🙂
Plan A was to take advantage of our new found freedoms and drive into another county with the MTB. But a look at the forecast in the morning showed that the best weather was going to be on the Aberdeenshire coast. So I quickly sketched out a 45 mile “gravel” loop with over 4,000’ of climbing on komoot. Turned out be quite a tough day with a stiff wind on the coast, but worth it.
