Natural riding pics

The trail centre thread has me hankering for natural trails. Got any pics of recent rides? Here’s one of mine from the weekend gone (a ride out from home no less):

Is that Chesire?

Doethie valley last Saturday

Is that Cheshire?

Nope, North Wales

Chilterns, dry, in March.

where abouts in north Wales is that top pic?

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

And a couple from a while back on the rather excellent Seb Rogers photography course with Cycleactive

A bone dry, red hot cut gate pass last week. 😀 Something tells me it won’t be like that up there today. 🙁

Carnedd Dafydd ascent?

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?

The best natural riding I did was in the Alps with the White Room.

Skip to 4:34+ for the singletrack. 😉

Milkie yeaahhh gangsta! 🙄

Up above Langsett on Saturday, you cant get to it today as the main road is closed due to snow and dumped cars

Weekend before last. Pics courtesy of Sanny

Dave on Beda Fell[/url] by Will Slater[/url], on Flickr

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…

Bottom of the Garburn a couple of weekends ago

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

Where is the second last one drookit?

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.

This thread makes me want to a) ride big mountains more and b) take a camera more.

Gypsy Glen

Cairngorms

North 3rd

Aye, great pics all round. Good inspiration in this raw wind…

From a ride on the north side of Loch Maree, covered here… jeez, nearly 2 years ago – must get back in the saddle!

The Eildon Hills in the Scottish Borders:

Practically on my doorstep, as in 10 miles away

I’m no photographer, but this is just one of those times when you point and shoot and get a great picture..imho!

Last Friday 15 minutes from home….

ormondroyd – where’s that second pic?
