    Out exploring around teeside. I’ve been meaning to get up here for ages, never managed it for some reason.

    Today the forecast was bright sunshine while most of the rest of the country was under cloud so it was too good and opportunity to miss.

    Trails were a mixed bag, some really good magical dry loamy carpets covered in orange larch pine needles. Long descents too, some great flowy stuff and also some properly gnar committing steeps.

    Also some absolute death, very steep, slippy slidy no-grip-at-all rut tracks. Several times I had both wheels locked accelerating down the rut and had to tripod my way out of it gracelessly then have a little involuntary sit down.

    Glad I was on’t eeb today as otherwise I’d never have been able to find half the good stuff and would have spent a lot of time being a bit annoyed that several of the descents weren’t anywhere near worth the climbing.

    I don’t think I saw it at it’s best at all though. Id like to go back when it’s drier and grippier to try some of the harder lines again.

    I had plans today but got dropped in it. Stuffed my face and watched YouTube all morning. Then felt lazy and guilty so pedalled over to Parkwood Springs.

    We’ve just had 3 days on Mljet in Croatia. We hired bikes to get around. Unusual for Mrs Ampthill to be on a bike these days. Lovely area to explore and accessing hiking trails and swim spots by bike worked well. Yes i found a WW2 88mm flack canon

    Cheeky Monday off work and a local ride in some of the best conditions we’ve had all year, ferns have died back and everything is dry?

    Drifts of dry, crackling leaves on this morning’s local ride. Great conditions, but it’s looking like the trees might be bare before the sun next shows itself. There are blue skies up there somewhere, but not on moorland at 400m. I’ll have to get higher tomorrow…

    Tuesday morning tear up.

    No bike wash needed again.

    That’s five rides in November and not one bike wash.

    I’ll take that.

    Breaking through.

    This guy had been fishing in the same spot for the whole of my ride. 😀

    Went to Bedgebury. Still very bad at riding bikes, but it was a gorgeous day out.

    Still in the honeymoon phase with the e-bike, so I’ve been enjoying autumn, wet, muddy biking more than normal. But even so, I’m starting to get a bit fed up with the slippy, muddy trails at the mo:

    Skived off work this morning and went out to Stainburn for a few hours. The Aeris AM has just had it’s fork and shock serviced, and bearings replaced, and was running sweetly. Also new, a 2.6 Magic Mary (non Radial) ultra soft up front for a bit more confidence/skills compensation for the loamy/rooty steeps and the chunky rocky ‘official’ trails. Gorgeous golden morning and the trails were mint.

    Lovely crisp clear morning ride.

    Zero degrees at the bottom but a fair bit colder up higher.

    Crisp and clear.

    Yet another ride with no bike cleaning.

    This isn’t normal for this time of year.

    Post ride and not a spot of mud.

    First ride on the new bike after months of procrastination over buying it. Also first exercise for a long time, felt it!

    Whitelee wind farm.  Great views today if a little chilly at -2°c

    Slightly disappointing snowfall last night in Leeds, but made for a pretty (and actually quite rideable, rather than a muddy/slushy mudfest) hour and a half out on the local trails this morning.

    More Leeds commuting. Took the eeb because I had to carry a reasonably big bag of crap into work this morning.

    Trails still in decent condition, not much mud at all. Main hazard is all the leaves on the floor.

    I actually quite enjoyed it being cold, being able to wear all my winter stuff again and check it all still fits and enjoy it keeping me warm and comfortable
