Sorry to hear you’re not able to ride.

I’ve also been off the bike for a couple of months now, broken arm here.

Wasn’t too frustrated at first but strangely when the weather went crap after such a brilliant summer I got a bit sad that I’d missed all the dry fun.

Turbo trainer has helped a lot and in the last week I’ve managed to get out on a road bike a couple of times.

Oh, you wanted photos…

Banks how would you say that post has worked out for you?

Failing banks? Who’d a thought it?

Anyway, lovely in t’North…

Too big to fail, that’s you! 😀

A few from my last couple of weekends in the Cairngorms and over on the Hebrides

Think I recognise one of those “banks” 😉

Horrible being off the bike, sympathies. I´m just looking through photos because my season is drawing and I need cheering up. Here´s some I enjoyed:

Basque Coast

South Pyrenees, my guide Dave making me look bad.

Spanish Utah, sorry but that location is a secret!

Basque Coast, my guide Dave on one of our first rides together.

Basque Coast again.

Spanish Pyrenees again, off there in a couple of weeks for autumn.

oooh lovely, thanks everyone,

banks – locations, you know that i know but other people don’t know 🙂

French Alps

Cairngorms

Canada

Don’t know about you Bunnyhop, but I’m restored to full moral after that lot. Amazing pictures guys ❗

Just a couple more. This time of Ed Oxley turning it up to 11 on a wee day out we had together. Both photos are taken a few miles from the Basque Coast.

Inspiring stuff people

@Doug Awesome day, thanks. Shame the seasons ended but surely time for sleep, or lack of it seeing little Doug is surely on it’s way by now 😀
Oh and i’ll be sending you a pretty huge email tomorrow, apologies.

@Bunnyhop, at the rate the council are going all the local dh’s will be so flat you’ll be able to ride them with one arm 🙁

I’m off the bike for a while too now!

oh no. what’s happened?

Dratmoor

subluxation capitate – whatever it means : / front wheel washed out on a pretty ordinary bit of trail.

Then i was chopping wood when the axe got stuck in a particular beast of log so went to lift it and smash through it, turns i just smashed up hand/wrist even further, idiot.

BRILLIANT thread!

some absolutely awesome pictures… 🙂

heres a few from me..

Spacehopper, is that an Orange five airbourne?

Hey Spacehopper, loving those ones of our here, that last one´s an angle I´ve never considered before but it looks ace! Also check out Dave concentrating 🙂

Banks, looking forward to a long mail! Will take me a little bit to reply as I´m guiding tomorrow and then wee Doug-ina is on her way any second now.
