Usually behind camera but here’s me on the Howgills backend of 2016

Today:
Not fancying driving to the Yorkshire Dales amongst mega traffic, I opted for Ripley Castle nr.Ripon. Just picked a route off the map and generally followed a large circular route over towards Brimham Rocks. Really nice route with it being dry but never would I attempt a repeat after rain.

Not clear from your post, but I assume this was a celebratory ride? If so, big congratulations! Looks like the perfect way to celebrate turning 70.

Happy (belated?) birthday. Hope I am still out riding and having a laugh with my mates when I’m your age.

*Likes*

I hope you still have many more years and rides ahead of you!

Saxon Rider: Yep first ride since reaching 70. Perhaps I should have put today’s photo first to make it clearer?

happy birthday old lad……..keep on keeping on. 8)

Happy birthday x I hope me and my OH are able to get out and enjoy the funshine at 70!

Happy birthday! 🙂

Happy birthday, Pennine!

Chapeau 🙂

Many fingers crossed I am still riding at your age and frankly that I make it that far. My ex-neighbour who introduced me to mountain biking in 2004 just bought the new Ducatti for his 69th.

Great stuff chap, I’m 62 and will definitely keep going as long as I can. You give youngsters like me hope

Happy birthday Pennine. I’m ‘only’ 60!

Maybe we should cobble an ‘Old Codgers’ ride together? 60 yrs & older only?

(Not including Ton, he can come cos he looks 60) 😉

Rock!

Great, ‘cos I can come. I’m 65 in a few weeks – belated Happy Birthday, Pennine.

Happy birthday!
I’m 55,It’s inspiring when I see people older than me still getting out there.
Gives me hope for the future!

Not quite there, 68 today. Out yesterday for short spin in the sun along the foot of the Correen Hills in Aberdeenshire.

Thanks for all your comments guys. Age is but a number they say 🙂

Another youngster here at 63. Happy Birthday, you’re an inspiration.

The plus side is being able to ride midweek when the trails are dry (it was a bit windy today)

Happy Birthday and a great way to celebrate :-)I turned 40 at the weekend and I hope I’m still riding when I’m your age.

Good work OP.

Makes my 52 years seem like I’m still in kindergarten!

Nice one OP. My 79 year old father in law has just buggered off to Europe on his Honda pan-european. Not sure when he’s back. Apparently depends on the string of ladies putting him up 🙂

Wonderful, chapeau young man 😀

51 here and now feeling like a spring lamb… !

70, that’s only 10 in dog years – err, hang on a minute… 😉

Keep on riding, dude!
