The Weekend Ride Picture Thread. The Clarty Arse Edition.

Solo ride for me this morning to kick the weekend off to a good start.
You know the score, show us your ride pics.

For anyone that’s racing the Enduro at Golfie this weekend it’s wet but mega grippy.

Local ride with a mate. He was getting to grips with his brand new orbea rise.

Happy NBD to your mate.

From last weekend in the Pyrenees :) Will post a few more when I get more time. Amazing trip, 4th time there and definitely the best. A proper adventure (and quite a lot of exposure!)

Views weren’t bad either :)

@Alex
Basque MTB again?
I really need to get my shit together and get out there it looks brilliant.
Tried a couple of times but couldn’t get dates to work for us.

A mixture of riding and hiking for me.

A few more trails from the NATO base and then hiked a few we haven’t riden before scouting them out for next year

It was a long slog in the afternoon heat

A blast round the Growth trail at Brechfa today.

Not really riding during the weekends as I’m currently not working so plenty of midweek ones to miss the crowds. Might get another one in in Sunday though, legs definitely can’t do one tomorrow!

Brilliant to get out for the first time in ages for a post-work local saunter.

Lovely red moon in the sky, until the cloud came.

Been out this evening for sunset, pad Thai and pint.

Sunny and dry on the Downs today.

it seemed more atmospheric at the time! first ride in 6 days!

@bonni where were you riding? looking down on the town/village looks great

Usual Friday evening local headclearer.

Went on a bit of a long one yesterday

@singlespeedstu Not this time. We’ve a mate who moved near Perpignan about 15 years ago. So he organised six days of epic riding including two nights high in the mountains. It was a proper adventure. When he’s uploaded his pics I’ll put up a thread with the routes. Ended up at 2600m at one point. Pretty thin up there.

@LAT – just above Abergavenny

Local swift one. Glider this afternoon 😳

New bike legs for mrs_oab. Local 25 miles – it’s getting autumnal

Gentle bimble to check the wolfcluech gravestone is still in situ

Local, looking back towards the Malverns in some kids cloud.

@kayak23 did you have teething troubles on that ride?

Is that what it’s for? 😂
Found it.

Wet, wet, wet. Horrible. Cold.

Pure DJ practice this morning. Honing in on the big gap line, any day now…

Didn’t take any pictures while having a great ride in the sunshine yesterday, but ended up at the Trackside on the East Lancs Railway for a pint while watching the steam trains chug past. All the better as I was meant to be working, but a client was fannying around so I went out on the bike instead. Not sure how many days like this we’re going to get this year

nothing too ambitious for me this weekend as I am still suffering but I took out the single speed for a short spin, this is Stretton Wharf, near Brinklow:

Solo ride at Hamsterley today. No mates, no faffing, no time limits. Just followed my nose and found loads of steep, greasy loveliness.

Also, why do 90% of e-bike riders look like Peter Griffin’s twin brother?

Local routes back to their best

sliding around Dyfi.

great larks

Last day in Finale for us before we move off to France tomorrow.

Shuttle and a blast back down this morning  and the finished off with hiking some more trails ready for next years visit

Yesterday,  trip to Fungi Town

Sunday, trip to the Mendips

Involuntary SS round FoD as a farewell ride to one of our group who’s off to Prague for 3 years.

Went for a ride in the local (overgrown) rain forest. Man oh man, my legs and arms are tingling like mad from the nettles!

Interesting contraption found in a field (and the metal wheel thing, arf!)

Nice doer-upper in the country

Warm and drizzly in sheff

October drizzle

Similar pic to my last one! This time top of Mortimer forest. Cripes it was slick

The only dry day Torridon has sen in weeks and there were no midges.

Great photos. Really enjoyed them all.
