Cheeky midweek ride, couple of weeks ago.

Trail Centres? Pah!

It's a bit of a cheeky ride done early, not too far Bethesda.

Since its snowing in the Peak - a winter one from earlier this year

Well spotted!

I've walked up it, it's a great ridge much nicer than going up the front from Ogwen. I'm too unfit& lazy to ride up it though

OK, so it's a road ride, but the road was very quiet and the bike is technically more off-road in this picture than on 🙂

Bike eating swamp anyone?

Skip to 4:34+ for the singletrack. 😉

CaptainMainwaring's pics are ace! That's the kind of mountain biking I want to do, not piddling around in woods and through fields. I need to live near some bigger hills

I really really really need to get my arse in gear and ride the Doethie valley.

Woohoo, going over Beda Fell on friday morning...

I love these photos. They are EXACTLY what inspires me to ride my mountain bike instead of my road bike. Tis a shame nothing like this is on my doorstep

Looking south west from Carn Liath (Beinn a'Ghlo). It's one of my faves thanks to the impressive bike-tango CaptainMainwaring is performing 😀

Am I the only one representing the shandy South here? Couple more from me, then.

(Isle of Man coastal path)

In awe of some the pics on this thread. Simply amazing.

Obviously the only reason I have none is because I travel so much faster than you all, in Gnar zone 9. 🙂

You're right; there are some excellent pics there. Really outstanding, but that's what happens if you make the effort to get out into wild places.

Probably my favourite is Druidh's sunset shot, sublime, well done!

Some lovely photos in this thread.

Awesome pics. Blue skies here in N. Wales so, inspired by this thread, work can wait for a couple of hours.

Snow biking.

Great to see people putting the mountain part into mountain-biking

Riding up and down Snowdon made me realise how much more fun natural riding is than trail centres. I get the same feeling whenever I ride at the Long Mynd. Unfortunately I live in the East Midlands so can't regularly ride good natural stuff.

At this rate we could knock up a mighty fine STW forum calendar for next year. If its good enough for winterhighland its worth ripping off.

I like that idea... I'd buy one

@superfastjellyfish

(picks self up of floor) but there's no bridleway up there! How dastardly!

I like that idea... I'd buy one

Think a few people would. The winterhighland one works on the rough principle of people submit images via a forum thread and they get voted on. I just like the idea of a natural riding by normal people calendar - no huck just hills.

Couldn't be that hard to do with the surfeit of online printy places out there. Could even make a book with blurb or summink...
