Didn’t take any photos because the weather was shite and the fact that on taking my first shot the camera announced “Battery exhausted” and shut down! Some pillock hadn’t charged it.

We were down in Mid-Wales on the Bearbones Winter Event. Saturday was spent avoiding then riding into a gale, then it started raining. Stopped at Nant Syddion bothy then headed back today in more gales and a little less rain.

Bit of gravel riding in North Yorkshire

Overnight rain turned the claggy Northants clay into slippy sludge. Bailed on the off-road stuff half way through and headed home via country roads instead.

Should have been overcast, windy and showers….

30 miles around Gower with only 30 minutes of rain on the homeward stretch.

How do you pinch flat a tubeless tyre that is..well, tubeless?

@rOcKeTdOg snake bite…? Whatever you call it when the tyre is cut due to the rim impacting on the tarmac and cutting your tyre. Thought that was a pinch flat… 🤷‍♂️

Had an explore up the Wrekin yesterday, will definitely be heading back.

Short and sweet, or should that be short and steep! . Decided to head over to the Wrekin for an explore this morning, probably some of the steepest trails I have ridden. . . . #telford #wrekin #mtblife #someview #shortandsteep #lastbikes #glen #spankindustries #ridefoxuk #rideformula #oneupcomponents #crankbrothers #wildernesstrailbikes #garbaruk #burgtec #29er #enduromtb #endurobike #lifebehindbars #windyuptop #trailrider

Well I never, everyday is a school day, maybe we should invent a tubeless pinch flat specific word. Hope you get it sorted @k1100

Again more great riding weather this weekend so managed to sneak in a little New Territories and Lantau riding in on Saturday thanks to some ferry action…

Then took part in a DH race on the Sunday, managed to bag a 3rd in the old blokes category (40-49 and 50+ groups).

Good weekend all round.
