So many places to post photos now!
Had a great ride with the boys at Jack’s Ridge today. First time there, lots of fun ‘Woodstacles’ and a really nicely maintained few loops in forestry just outside Nambucca Heads.
Quick spin round this morning trying to miss the rain.
I failed. 😂

Overcast, but nice temperatures. Still heavily overgrown, but it seems to have reached its peak at least.
Quick spin before the rain came in.

Moved on from Leogang and now just over the boarder in Italy. Spent the day on the trails in Livigno with just under 5000 metres of descent
First #coosday of the school holidays. Have a wee calf.
And the blaeberry are out early. Not perfectly juicy yet though.
Moved on from Livigno and now had a few days in Lenzerheide.
Today was a big one up both sides of the mountains and finished off with a couple of laps of the bike park
Nothing even approaching Tracey's pics.
Quick impromtu local blast last night

Another great day out for us today.
****ing hot in the valley bottom but a lot more pleasant once over 2000 meters.

Managed to get out for a ride yesterday am - loop from Kirkby Stephen to Ravenstonedale via Smardale, then Pennine Bridleway over to Mallerstang, followed by a loop to take in Abbotside Common and The Water Cut sculpture. All in all quite enjoyable, made more interesting by the occasional sharp shower.
A couple of gentle days' riding keeping an eye on our bronze D of E students. Getting paid for riding my bike. Sweet.
Back to the hardship of one of my local spots after a week away.😁

Leisurely ride round my local. Even found some stocks for Boris.
On the Moray Coast Trail between Findochty and Portknockie.
Weather was decent last night. 19 miles around Beeley/Chatsworth/Stanton and another KOM. Average pics though

Ride onto Norland Moor, just short of 30 miles after riding home from the pub.
Cracking evening, saw several other bikers and unusually no e-bikes !
Monday Night Pub Ride took advantage of a brief gap in the deluges, but we did a normal winter route - the Tour de Reservoirs - to stay on the hardpack as the moors are a quagmire
A quick spin round the local local this morning.
Nearly eaten alive by flies.

Steady one last night and the only time we stopped for pics was on a road section. 3 emtb's, 1 HT, 1 fatbike - gues what. We all rode at the same pace 😉
Looking down over Matlock

Went to do Fox House, Cannings, Stanage, Burbage
Punctures in Cannings and tubes that wouldn't inflate aborted the mission. Gutted, not done that classic for some years

Went to the pub
Top of Blackford Hill in Edinburgh.
Took the 'big dog'' out for the first time in a while. It has a posh new damper in the Zebs and I was keen to try it out. Conditions locally are puddly but grippy. Blooming humid though. Luckily a suitable re-hydration point was located at the end of the ride 🙂
Went back to do the Fox House loop this afternoonv after yesterday's failed attempt. Mint ride

A sunrise ride this morning was a great way to start the end of the week.
Saw probably the largest echidna I’ve ever seen… though it tried to make sure I didn’t see it.

Fake internet points for anyone who can guess correctly which lift....
Clue: I think that's Mont Blanc framed in the front triangle.
