Yesterday’s local ride felt like either riding on sheet ice, or clay/peaty mud or green slime on slick roots.
That is because it was.
Today we went trail building at Balquhidder with the local chap who is behind all the trails. The quarry now has some spicy new lines to session or pontificate over…
Posted 4 years agoBloody cold and snowy here, above 400m was very wintery. Shorts and inappropriate gloves were not a a great choice.
Summit pic was at 800m ish, the chute through the forest turned out to be alarmingly traction free.
Great ride though, if slightly ‘type B’ fun 😆

Not exciting but much needed

[url=https://flic.kr/p/2hL1pQS]2019-11-15_09-03-18[/url] by multispeedstu, on FlickrPosted 4 years agoThese are from Friday, as I had a day off and the Sun made it’s first appearance in a couple of weeks.
I was out exploring an area I know lot of people ride in, but hadn’t visited myself. I had also just fitted more autumnal tyres, which proved out to be a lot more appropriate than the DHF/Aggressor -combo they replaced.
It had rained non-stop from Tuesday evening to midday Thursday, and it showed in places. The night before was below zero, and in some microclimates the mud had a crunchy crust on top.
All the moisture meant that there was plenty of God-light to go around, but unfortunately I only had a fairly mediocre point-and-shoot with me.
Posted 4 years agoUlverston cx. Plan executed to perfection. Started near the back an slid steadily backwards. Clarty as, the mini Vs were a distinct disadvantage and had a big chain drop where everyone I’d battled past swept by but that’s all I’ve got excuses wise. Need to start training again. Or not.
Posted 4 years agoI introduced a mate to the wonderful world of riding fat bikes!

Posted 4 years agothe groomers have been out and done a lovely job. I think I’d prefer clear skys.

Posted 4 years agoIn need of some quiet time to get away form the current climate here, so a good old hike a bike session was called for in the west Lantau mountains.
