Mr K can i be a nuisance and ask how my pics are doing please? Only just over a week left in work and i would like them to see an alternative to cooking sunday lunch !!!lol!Good pics as usual btw.

I love that terrain!

I was in that London this weekend, so only a nice 40 miler around the Surrey Hills for me. But a large part of my heart belongs to the chalklands…..!

just sealed the envelope down tonight………..

Good pics as always knottie!

Is that another injury you have??!!

Is that the infamous log drop Knottie? Need to come back to the Quantocks soon, but can’t find a free weekend until late August 🙁 I think there is a date for a Marlborough Downs ride at some point, is that right CG? Kinda hoping my winetasting falls through so I can come to Brechfa…

Marlborough downs ride Mmmmmmmmmmmm Barbury castle loop etc sorry rich but do not waste your time get back to the Q’s ( please note I speak with 15 years of experiance riding there)

Rich – Wiltshire ride on Sunday 9th August for the STW creme de la creme 😀

It’s all good Saladdodger, the lack of singletrack gives you more time to appreciate the scenery 🙂

Irrelevant though, as I’m driving back from the alps on the 9th so can’t make it 🙁

yes the scenary is nice soft and fluffy but alas

The ride I did enjoy when I lived there was from Barbury Castle to Cherhill via Avebury, it was always a nice run and I lived in Wroughton then so I could ride from my front door.

bloody hell Knottie even I can do the log in one piece

But water is a differant subject 😕

I’m with Saladdodger (and I remember us concurring on the Classic Qtox ride earlier this year) that there is no comparison of Marlboro downs vs Quantocks. Except for the phenominal speeds (67mph) to be had off barbury on a road bike 8O.

Another social ride missed by me, hey ho, i had a great weekend with my brats instead.

Knottie..how the hell did your bike land there?

You shouldn’t land till your past the tree just in shot on the left.

Ahhhh!! i get it, you were trying to ride over he tree drop whilst climbing back up the hill and the bike looped out……..

Looks wet, is it or just the pics?
