I know the grass and hedge needs cut and the patio is shite but I've been busy changing bearings and cables FFS!!
Driving on hills is okay
@Cougar, are you a mod?
I'm a former Mod, I retired a few years ago after ten years' service for the sake of my own sanity.
I don’t know what you mean by pasting directly into the editor.
It's literally copy and paste. This has been a thing since like Windows 3.1. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V.
First ride for nearly six months today on the gravel bike
35km, 550m of climbing with a broken body and knackered hamstring. It felt great to be out in the sun but I'm completely knackered and broken this evening
Another sunny local ride, but finally got my wheels a little off the ground for the first time since my return from hand injury. Landed fine and kept hold of the bars... Onwards and upwards!
First ride since September last year, 27 miles mainly flat. Good to be out!
@Cougar, either you’re being deliberately rude, or you just don’t communicate well. I’d have thought it was obvious, but it wasn’t the copy and paste part. It was the point about pasting into the editor that confuses me. What in earth does “pasting into the editor mean”? What is the editor?
I always used to upload my photos by simply clicking on the little image symbol on the list of commands in a post. But before the web update, this suddenly stopped working and said my photos were too large, even though I’d changed nothing.
So I now upload any photos I want to post in here to Flickr and then copy and paste the link into my post. This is a lot more hasssle than simply uploading directly from my photo album.
Im sure you will find a way to make this sound like it’s my fault and I’m the idiot. And I may well be. Sorry for disappointing you. Interactions like this reduce my enthusiasm for this forum too.
Ilkley Moor on Thursday before the rain arrived. Really didn’t need the mudguards
Yesterday blinding other road users with my legs on the road bikes first outing. The curlews are back on the moors!
Managed to post these thanks to the previous post about being able resize the photos on the iPad before uploading. Never knew that was an option!
Was a might foggy this morning. I could hear the sea, just couldn't see it!
Just to highlight the 'lovely' early March weather... Its the sun is now cracking the pavement 😂🌞
My best mate was diagnosed with MND last year and has got to the point where riding a bicycle is too difficult. Last weekend he bought a second hand e-assist ICE Trike and yesterday we went out for a ride together. It was great to be out with him again, bimbling about and talking ballocks. 😀

Seems like you're experiencing a completely different weather today than anyone else! Hope it cleared for you!
Big blue skies above the valley.
Finished with a visit to Caldwell's.
Todays outing. Went back to the same trail as yesterday, but tried to get further up. I failed in that regard - the snow made the trail beyond too dangerous for my liking. However, I’d spotted an alternative, singletrack descent around the hill on the map yesterday evening. It turned out to be an epic piece of Alpine singletrack descent! Really testing, but just on the right side of do-able.
Great ride today at Golfie.
Sun was out and trails were pretty dry.
No pictures as I don't want to be that guy on a group ride.
Finished off my weeks riding at 170KM/6200Meters and zero bike washes.
More pics from 140km of Tayside trails yesterday. Clearly mostly gravel but some very sweet singletrack bits in amongst it, Monks Road nr Balmerino was one highlight and would connect well with the Fife Coastal Path singletrack further west.
Came home from a couple of day work in Italy with a stinking cold, spent 2 days on the sofa, so out for a local hardtail spin this afternoon.
2 days in a row and absolutely stunning out there this morning.
Really starting to like the new Levo
And found a pub open at half past ten towards the end of the ride.
Perfect
Blimey! That worked.
First is a view across to Chepstow Park woods, second a new trail has appeared. Too steep to push up and a struggle to walk back up. Should be good.
Went over to Treorchy to ride our favorite trails only to find some joker has built a fortress around his house making access to the forestry road impossible. Locals are up in arms.... We had to make a massive detour amd use an overgrown footpath. The brambles were evil!
Spring had properly sprung in the calder valley today, gorgeous day for riding! 
Fabulous day in Grizedale with Mrs.
Rusty home made wiggly steel thing parked next to a sculpture.
Sad because I just realised this is my last image of a long serving Zefal bottle that I left by the water tap when we went through the visitor centre 😞. Only realised when we were nearly back at the van and I couldn't be bothered single speeding all the way back to retrieve it
Yep, beautiful out there again today. 62km 1200m from the door. Mainly trail riding but also took in a variety of local jump and enduro line spots along the way.
Getting confident on one of the bigger features at the local jump spot now...but it's definitely not the biggest ... Even on this mediumly big jump it feels like you are in the air for ages - cant imagine what the really big ones feel like...but we're getting there slowly...
Sad to say - it's tick season again. Crawling on the dog (not yet attached) after a play in sunny Deeside. (I am as shocked as anyone about the state of my son's fingernails / cuticles)
Lovely day to be out on local trails. Linnet Clough was still bsically a muddy stream, despite most other places being pretty dry!
I also stumbled across a car that looked like it was either an homage to Mad Max or the owner is less tht optimistic about the way our society is going!!
Pics llok huge, hopefully they will resize when I hit submit....
Took the hardtail out for a spin on eastern moors in the Peak with a friend who’s recovering from breaking himself. Great day to be out.
Not been out at the weekend for a while, but made it to Delamere for the first time on Saturday and did the blue route. Was pretty tame tbh and no problem for the 8 year old, it's a good family friendly route though so would recommend for young ones and any sunny day out on bikes with the little one was is awesome.
Family walk up Arnside Knott today was equally lovely.
After months of having a broken van, we finally got away to Surrey for a much needed long weekend. Weather was perfect, trails were dusty in places - all was right in the world for a brief moment!

Even the local loop didn't seem so bad with the Sun in the sky

Just what the doctor ordered 🙂
Went for a night ride for the first time in about 3 years last night.
Took my daughter - hadn't realised it was her first one lol
Nothing to strenuous just a lap of Follow The Dog at Cannock.
Had forgotten how much fun night riding is!
Thought it was about time I fitted my Hope brakes & Stem that I got last year too.....
Night ride seemed like an ideal opportunity to test them out lol
Teensy bit of harvesting in the local forest
I HAVE BEEN ENABLED!
Seems like you're experiencing a completely different weather today than anyone else! Hope it cleared for you!
Sure did!! By 1pm I was fettling and fighting with another tubeless set up in blazing warm sunshine.
@wheelsonfire1: Wow!
