Quantocks. Great days riding. Got lucky with the weather. Missus trying to get something out of her pack and being hassled for food by a pony

Unsurprisingly busy on the Malverns today. But I didn't care, the sun was shining and I was having a skive ride. First time on the Chubby for a month or so. What a fab bike that is. Sometimes I forget it's a hardtail.

Fell off. Into someone's garden. Fell a long way. laughed about it. Could have been a lot, lot worse. Another couple of feet further down and a not so handily placed stone wall would have broken my back.....

Long way down...
[img] ?oh=ecd4d11e116d63b6f53b40aa45f782b1&oe=5786FF17[/img]
Still, dusted myself off. Rode some of the Mytholm descent. And Mmbop. And Rodwell Zig Zags. Got to love Calderfornia...

A paltry hour in the rain yesterday re-asserting my unsuitablility for gravity stage racing. Never found this hut before either. Quality.

Still did get a chat with a old danish dude brewing up out of the back of his camper, his opening gambit was'Like little boys rolling around in the mud, yes?', indicating my bike with a nod, grinning. To which I replied 'Yes!'.

A little late, Easter riding jollies in Chiang Mai, Thailand, lots of long dusty descents, mucho fun with the X-Biking crew.

It was a busy weekend but the guides gave our small group a pickup truck to ourselves so we could go our own pace.
[img] [/img]
As typical with this group, there were no action pics so only we know our full awesomeness.

Yes, Chang was available at the end.

I'll get some pics up later, had an ace weekend, 8 of us heading south for a really wet but awesome 3 days in the Lakes.

Quick night ride of the best bit of the Bash on fri night.

honister pass - Wharnscale - Rigg beck - walla crag - watendlath - back to YH on the Saturday

The awesome Sprinkling tarn down to Stockley bridge on sunday.

Feeling it this morning mind!. Just confirmed to me that the Borrowdale YH is not only ace, but has enough amazing riding nearby to fill any number of days without having to drive.

Someone updated God on the weather front, thanks 😉

So this weekend will be a dry hack on Rapha's Hell of the North, followed by Beer & Frites and Mr Fabulous winning Paris-Roubaix..

Such hilarity.

Beautiful evening, could have been the perfect ride - if only I'd taken a tube with me.

4 mile walk home.

Had a cracking day in the Peak, started in the thick fog and 0deg in the valley but soon climbed above it and onto the snowy tops and sunshine:

Looking at those pictures of the Peak above I'm really looking forward to a week Friday when we had back up there for a week of Riding 😀

This weekend we rode at Woodbury Common - a slightly disjoined ride as someone had just got a new camera and wanted to take pictures for once. Some of the pictures were better but alas it would appear I pull all manner of silly faces when riding 😳

We started with some of this

And then spent an hour sheltering in part of the forest due to a sudden hail storm.

Went to show off my Enduro Sled at a pretty damp Llandegla, actually managed to ride with a friend for a change. Rode the red, black and blue so 48k in total.

Cripes, some of your local trails are spectacular !

Niiiice

Not sure if that refers to my picture (there are a lot of great photos on this thread), but what mine didn't show was the bitter wind! The 20 minutes after that shot was taken were spent with the bike on my shoulders trying to stay upright and the choice was between walking through six inches of slushy snow or walking on the heather covered bog to the side of the track. Either way my feet were freezing. I love a god epic though and conditions were a lot more benign as soon as I dropped back down into the glen.

Suffered yesterday. Don't know if I was just sub-par, but it's the first ride in Swaledale I've ever had which I really didn't enjoy. Headwinds, bit gloopy, very cold in the hands and feet, couple of minor mechanicals, got to Great Pinseat and just decided to bail back to Reeth.

Northern Beer Snobs visit Shandyland. We found out that Chilterns Mud is very nearly impossible to ride on.

Poorly Missus meant just a snatched hour on the local trails yesterday, planning a proper one for next weekend

1 second off a KOM too, grrrrr (although given the inherent inaccuracy of Strava, I'll claim it!)

Well I had Friday off work so me n mar mate could drive to Wales. We stopped in Talybont on usk and set out to do the Gap Route in the afternoon. That rocky tramroad is hellish, up and on and on and up and rocks and more rocks. The descent back down from above the resovoir was fantastic and we had a great time. By this time the weather had turned and we were cold so instead of climbing back up to the gap we opted for the road back to Talyont and the pub.
On Saturday the sun was out in full effect and we had a fantastic days riding at Bike Park Wales. My first time there and loved it. We managed 8 uplifts, we only did 2 red runs and the spent the rest of the time on the blues whooping it down the mountain. Loved terry’s belly the most, espicially the bits towards the end, so fast and so much fun. We didn’t stop to take any pics.

I built up the Old Skool Gnarpoon last week & took it for a shaedown around a surprisingly dry Rivi on Friday

Then had a hoot at a equally surprisingly dry Antur Stiniog on Saturday

It was all going so well then this happened 🙄

Of course it happened 5 seconds into a descent. Not even a tyre boot could save me. A 1,000 foot descent on foot and 4 miles back to the van. I could've cried.

Ouch

Big thanks to the four riders who blasted past me when my bike was upside down and didn't even acknowledge me never mind ask if I needed a hand.

Cant let anything coming between them and their Strava time...

doesn't surprise me, even when you try and flag them down for help they avert their gaze head down and carry on.

Next Monday I start on my Coast to Coast via the NCN 6 from Kendal to Seascale, pick up the NCN72 all the way up the West Coast via the Solway then across the country to Whitby, then ride back on a mix of NCN's back to Kendal.

Yay!

I did the northern half of the recently opened South Peak loop. Nearly 50 miles of off-road, quiet lanes and old railways (e.g. Monsal Trail). Had a grand day, although I confess the Monsal Trail is a dull ride when you've no one to talk to #billy-no-mates.

Bit of a fail today. Weekend away near Edin. Planned to ride Inners on the way home till I realised I had "lost" the key to the motor homes "garage" doh 🙄
Went for coffee/lunch ar Cafe No1 and met the guys from CRC who were demoing bikes at Inners, guess where my riding gear was? Yup, locked away safely in the back of the 'van 🙄
Anyway, went for a stroll round the demo, gave Tally a wave and spoke to Trev Worsley and Clive Forth both of whom I've not seen for a while.
