i NEED to fly. i'm off to herts for a ride for the day then chill out round the fire with a cold beer.
enjoy your rides people and let us know how they went. 🙂
enjoy my good man .... i would if i could. how ever ive been to the gym on the spin bike and a walk round the heli deck is about as good as it gets out here 🙁
bannished to be indoors now as well since they are doing heavy lifts overhead all day 🙁
RIDE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Grey here, and I'm a bit battered and scabby from yesterday's crash. I'll have my cup of tea, gobble some Ibupofen, repair my bike, then go riding!
I'll be trying to finish my build 🙁
As soon as I finish putting some new tracks onto my mp3 [s]faffing like a girl[/s] I'll be escaping into the semi sun for my first ride in a week 😀
Taking the kids out for an hour's thrash round the woods, then back home for cricket & football (come on Oxford!) then a 50 miler on the road before BBQ on the beach.
Oh and I've got next week off work 8)
Legs* deceased after Top Bloke Sharki showed me around the Q's yesterday.... 🙂
*XO front shifter and cassette also knackered + tired legs = lazy day internet shopping then a stroll with the dog, off into Taunton for a lunchtime pint 🙂
Enjoy your rides one and all 🙂
Been already. 2 hrs of Drifty singletrack in the mist. Eating bacon and eggs in the sun now
Aching like a mofo after yesterday's little pootle around Longleat in the (unforecast 😕 ) deluge, but coffee is having its usual restorative effect. Once I've got some mud tyres on the Fargo, yup, out for a quick one to try out the freshly-fitted flipped Mary bars.
And I do believe that's some blue sky breaking through too 😀
45 hilly offroad miles yesterday. Normally that wouldn't be an issue but my legs feel a bit loose for some strange reason today. So much so that when my front brake broke within 5 minutes of setting off this morning, I wasn't too bothered and just came back home.
Lazy day today methinks.
I can only dream of riding been off the bike for 6 weeks with a dislocated knee 😥
can manage a bit on the exercise bike but it really smarts
Can't wait to get out on the bike again
Safe riding everyone
did 2 rides yesterday, just cut the lawn, very hot out there already, got a shoulder injury from the "deckchair incident" so will probably ride on the road later as last mights off road ride has left it a bit sore
Great 2 hours of cheek this morning. Fox, ravens, sparrowhawk for company, no other humans. Back in time to cook pancakes for the family breakfast.
had a nice relaxing ride and a chill in the sun.
A wet one over on Penmachno this morning (surprise surprise). Took the Alpine 160 out for the first time in ages having fallen out of love with it somewhat. My god it was good fun although I got over-cocky on the last decent ending up in a tree. Just before that I was thinking to myself, 'hmm best take it easier as I'm off to Cham in a couple of weeks' and BANG front wheel gives and off I go. Full brekkie after that and a play on the decks this afternoon. 🙂
yep i was out with my son this morning 10-1pm ish in home of singletrack land.... quite boggy under foot today the peat was sodden..lol...did lots of rocky stuff and lots of singletrack stuff too... great when its not hissing it down...lol 😉
i demand photographic proof you lot went out ......
im off back to the gym for a run...... sitting around watching movies and eating roast dinners isnt good for me !
Went out on the road bike in an effort to be uber fit, sooooo boring.
3 hours of excellent dusty Surrey Hills singletrack with Gee for me. Knackered now.
no ride for me - broke wrist
rode out to the pentlands and back and did a few hours trail repairs.
i retro biked it today 😀
still regrowing a collarbone and watching the Vielta on ITV4...
One more week of having a brace for my back, the hopefully be able to get out on the bike in 8 days after 8 weeks out 😀
Tour of the surrey hills audax today. 72 very hilly miles with another 18 getting to the start and home again.
Had a nice ride through Hayfield up to south head and down beet lane, and back along the canal
Missed the sun but chatted with an attractive young lady who was coming down Highgate Road on a hardtail
Fairly chilled xc ride but with some fairly evil hills. But the climbs were dry and my climbing Fu quite good. Shame my descending Fu was a bit absent due to yesterday's crash damage. Cracking views across Somerset..
Planned a quiet spin through Chicksands on my own. Ended up spending the afternoon there with my four year old on his Rothan hitting the 4x track! He wants to spend 'a week' there! Good times 🙂
After a nice solo ride yesterday to test my theory that my heart is fine 😉 I went out for a pootle with the G/F today.
In 5 minutes she managed to hit a gatepost, crash off the bike, ripping up her right calf with her pedal. Then, she managed to get bitten by the farmers dog as he came past on his quad bike (the farmer, not the dog!)
Now sporting semi-matching puncture wounds on both calves....
Out round Mellor/Marple/Hayfield today. Really enjoyed it, was expecting it to piss down and it didn't, thought it would be a mud-fest and it wasn't, thought I'd be a bit bored but was really good to be out.
Didn't even seem that busy which is surprising given the weather, thought I'd be stuck behind loads of horse-riders and dog walkers etc.
After chatting about wanting to build new trails, I found some new ones down my local (Stanmer Park, Brighton).
Off camber, dusty, skinny, wiggly wooded singletrack after a day's work. I'm slowly connecting it into an epic circuit of awesome magnitude.
4hrs sat 4hrs 2day around woburn nice blue skys and warm getting ready for morzine next weekend, only 5 days of work in the way then 7 days of fun
Lead for the first time round Swinley, got lost lots, snakebit my new bargain Rocket Rons & put a wee wobble in the back wheel but all in all had a great time happy days 🙂
i'm buzzing that my daughter began riding my skills trail and loved it!!
Great ride round Swinley was had
