Please bear with me on this, as I'm experimenting with the bargain SJ4000. This is an unedited clip from last nights ride with Jnr. Please forgive the:
a) Inept Camera work
b) Frustrated dad - volume down to cut out the moaning - Jnr was having a bit switch off brain wise but I made it up to him post ride with cake
c) Its was much darker than it looked in the forest hence the quality, also its a £50 camera.
Here goes:

There appears to be some sort of weird fly crawling on your lens.
Just got back from todays ride to find this hidden behind the car.😁

An amazing 3hr training ride today. Half dry, half of it in the rain. Yesterdays rain did nothing but dampen down the dust which led to a much grippier trail today, awesome.
Much grippier here too after a bit of rain.

I just can't get into sour beers, I love the stout fixed wheel do though 👌
Picked the new bike up this morning so spent the afternoon swapping stuff about. Wheels, bars, mech, cassette, chain and shifter. Just got the forks and brakes to do before it gets ridden.

Went out this morning as the forecast was better today - it still rained almost constantly! I'm still running my near slick summer tyres which made for a slippy seat of the pants descent in some now muddy sections...
Officially the summit is 6 miles from my house. #naughty
When I went on my ride there were 4 Eccles cakes in my bag.
When I got back there was only one.
And now that seems to have vanished. Spooky.
Haribo? Ha! I sneer at Haribo.
Pitlochry
Loch Tay
Quaich road, Kenmore to Amulree
@eddiebaby Haribo should be from the tub otherwise there's not enough. (Tubs are kilo each from cash n carry). Good effort on the eccles cakes though.
First drive to ride since March and finally got the new bike muddy.

No real MTB from my door step but always finding new skinny walls to ride off.
PS I'm not 12, honestly.
Completely missed this thread, so here's a few (no MTBs though, sorry).

Rode to work, did my shift and pedalled home, 53 mile round trip so I reckon that counts as one a day
@rocketdog - are the masks any good? I'm thinking of getting some for my parents for when they go to the supermarket
Great idea donating one to healthcare workers too!!
Seem good quality
Myself and Mrs Ready having much fun at Danbury on a midweek day off.

Ok, it's 7 miles away. However we didn't see anyone on a 10km bog hop and forest road bimble.
Of course it stopped raining as I started the last descent to Dunblane...

First paddle of the year, stretching "broadly 5 miles" to 8. Ran back home afterwards too, so I guess that's 2 today!

Back in the van for 9 after a great ride.

Funny, it's actually been great to explore all the local stuff. Got no desire to drive anywhere for a ride at the mo.
Dropped the Levo SL in at 18 Bikes to finish of the final fettle, weather was so good so did a four hour walk out of Castleton. It was hot and sweaty.
Picked the bike up on the way back, just need to get it out on the trails

@colournoise – you should get that front wheel fixed.
Haha. Was waiting for that comment.
Years ago I had one of the first Google phones and it had an early version of their 'photosphere' app. As a fan of lofi photography I love what that did when you used it to take 'normal' photos (as well as the odd mismatched bits it processes colour and tone in a really interesting way). When I borked the phone I thought I'd have to go without, but finally found out at the weekend that the algorithm is still part of their Streetview app so installed that to have a play with.
We went up onto Cutgate early to do an out and back and test the Turbo Levo and the Levo SL back to back. Rode quite a bit of it twice to get a feel for the SL on the same stuff with the same conditions. It was a bit wet and boggy up on the top. Not surprising with the rain we have had all week.

Dusted the lights off to avoid the worst of the heat. Wonderful.
i am by no means the oracle of lakes riding, but ive not found many better views than this last night... note the gammy seatpost!
Trouble posting...
A quick ride out to the local DH trails today for me.

#enduroline 😉
Jump down the 4 small stair sets, nibble the brakes and hop up the middle set and then up the final 5. Pleased to get timing & weight/position right today to avoid dinging the back rim on the HT. End of 20 mile of xc/urban/coast.
