Couldn't find one for this weekend
I've just had a 3 hour MTB ride on my own. It was epic! Just perfect playing in the woods. Every turn, pedal, corner was superb. Even the headwind home couldn't dull it.
Sometimes riding is such a simple pleasure in its own right, it gives me a sense of fulfillment and completeness, I can really explain properly, just when you're in the moment hitting a trail, taking a berm, or popping a root, you're so absorbed that nothing else exists, nothing matters, the world just melts away.
I used to get this with motorbikes bit these days only pedals can find it.
Mrs weeksy thought I'd be sleeping as she's away, last night she called at 2am and I picked her up in Reading at 2.50am as her train options were expired due to it being 3am lol. I took 3 of her mates home first.
Sure, they could have got a cab, bit I was happier getting them myself at that time.
Pizza, cider leftover from Pembrey and a hot bath.
Awesome

Not ridden a bike for a good few years but still look on here every now and then and it’s threads like these that make me want to go out again but I never quite seem to manage it 🙁. Great photos Rdog.
One from midweek local ride and one from wharny yesterday.

Been busy packing the house up so just managed a blast round the local trails
Did the Calder Divide Trail this weekend. Zero prep and almost no riding of any distance in the weeks before made it a tough two days. But the riding was fantastic.

Couple of hours out
Spent an hour or so yesterday with my lad sessioning a hip jump at our local.
Think he might get it a bit flatter than I do.
This evening,
When Monday is the weekend too.
Spotted the most mushroomy mushroom ever by the side of the trail too.
That's a parasol mushroom. Yummy.
Picnic ride today with the Ukgravelco Gravel Gang
Special mention to Tim for getting 2 cheese and pickle sarnies, a flask of coffee and 4, yes 4 baked potatoes with cheese and jalapenos in his bar bag 😀

The moon will do that to you Stu
With an extended weekend, I couldn't resist a last minute weekend to the mighty Forest of Dean. Got shown around a new (to me) area and as always, it delivered some amazing trails!
