The Midweek Ride Picture Thread.

Just grabbed the ebike and chucked a quick couple of hours in before the rain descends. Only the one pic

Shakedown ride in preparation for Traws Eryri at the weekend.

Tried to ride the Afan Skyline trail today, there were lots of diversions and lots of fire road without much reward but it was a good day out until the hail started 🤣

Trying to get fitter so left the e-bike at home and the Bird got an outing 🙂

The delights of the Mary Towneley Loop today. Well, Widdop to Walsden, then decided I fancied an ice cream and a pootle back along the canal instead.

Spin out last night before the rain arrived to turn everything to slop again, gorgeous evening for it!

Monday evening at Black Rocks.

Unfortunately, Tuesday evening didn’t go as planned as my front brake decided to disappear while in the car. I tried a shop in Matlock but as I didn’t buy the bike from them there was a two week wait for the workshop.

In and around Eartham Woods and up to Whiteways Cafe. 36.7 miles, 2350 ft elevation. Sheep shit in all the hard to clean bits.

Well i guess the nice weather had to come to an end sometime! Last night’s ride across the top of the Bannau Brecheiniog turned a little damp halfway round. Still a great evening ride mind, but wetter than an otters pocket. At least the rain was a bit less cold than in winter.

Sendz on Tuesday night before the rain arrived. Fantastic evening for it

Somewhere on Dartmoor.

Amazed at what a leccy bike can climb up. Riding bits it’s was difficult to walk up.

Like many others, I headed out for a spin earlier in the week before the rain started coming down! North Third reservoir, looking over towards the Trossachs.

Cheeky trails evening 🥷

@jimmy748 – some cracking pictures there!

Slops back so the hardtail was out again

Beautiful night for a spin in Lapland. Just in from a relaxed 50k around this lake in pretty much perfect conditions. Cycling is ace👌

Balmoral today

Quick spin up to the moor tonight, first ride out in a few days as been feeling a bit off colour. T’was grand lad

Fab ride out on the ‘Doward’ side of the Yat. Ticked off our favourite trails and added a new spicy one to finish. Riding brilliantly just in time for the rain to ruin it. Chose to ride tonight rather than stay in a soulless hotel some 180 miles away. That means a 5am wake up call, but I definitely chose well 🙂

Cut gate plus extras from last night 👌

Cut Gate video from last Friday, thanks to @el_boufador for the info.

Quick blast after work, sadly cut short by the rain and my poor choice of clothing…

No rain forecast, but possibility of a storm, so took a coat in my bag

Wanted to get one last run on a certain section before the bracken completely takes over. Was just passable 🤣

Absolutely biblical with rumbles of thunder for most of the return leg – much of which was across a very exposed field and then a descent with a river running down it.

I was still soaked when I got back, but glad of the coat nonetheless

The weather seems to have finally improved…

Almost mid-summer, longer than usual weekday nightride.

Lovely ride around the Central Beacons last night

in

Purbecks this morning.

You seem to have lost your bike in that last one @welshfarmer?

Mid week last week 😎

I can’t find a “Weekend Photos” thread.

Not midweek either, but yesterday.

After spending a few days riding in Verbier it was up and over the Grand St Bernard’s pass and down into the Aosta Valley.

Spent the day up above Pila before the long descent back into the Valley
