Friday, 5pm and the suns out, that’s the weekend. Get your pics out.

Yesterday was the last day of our two weeks out in the Alps with the brilliant

Enduro Mountain Bike Holidays France

Ridden all around the area and over into Italy.

Sad to be going home but at least we have the Tweed Valley to go back to so not all bad.

First decent-length ride since Covid last month, up to Dent across the Dales.

Quick pedal today up Bullpot and down into Barbondale. Boy, I needed that. Now time to relax with the three year old…

Local woods, loads of filming kit onsite – maybe another Outlander series?

Edge of the Peak District. Nice bumble and a pub stop after not being able to get out on the bike for a week, due to life ?

Edit: Image upload broken, I give up. But imagine a slightly hilly scene with rolling green countryside, a nice tree and the sun setting in the background.

I’d planned to ride Friday night but accidentally got pissed. So that wrote off Saturday too.

Nae bother, I squeezed a ride in after tea tonight – weather came good just at the right time. I was just going to ride locally but it was sunny and I was feeling good so I ended up doing probably my favouritest local ride which is local trails, woodland enduroing, moorland trails then more enduroing to finish. Train back home to Leeds.

Was ace!

Bearing change yesterday. Local today making sure everything was torqued up properly before we head to Scotland midweek (Dunkeld, Ballater, Laggan and Aonach Mor will be more of a test than any North Northants woods!).
