Weekend bike thread (31-2nd)

Couldn’t see one.

Not been riding since last Sunday due to chest infection. Managed out today for a little pottle via the inlaws for coffee. New Prime Privera 56mm wheels (and x-light bar) on bike – had to spend my teacher back pay on something. Will be out on the MTB next weekend at Thornielee

14.40 miles with a nice climb up castlemilk via kingspark.

Hopton Woods for me tomorrow.

Quick local blast to test the new fork

Spent the day at Dirt Farm with a group of mates from all over the country, it was sloppy but great fun.

No picture on the trails as I left my phone in the car but that was the state of the bike after one run, virtually unrecognisable by the end! Thankfully the mud there is still grippy even when wet (red sandstone, like sandpaper unless it’s a total bog) so actually set a PB or two.

Had a great local loop ride with riding mates

It finally stopped raining at 3pm, I went out at 4.00, blue skies by 5.00.

A tad damp under wheel but at least I managed a ride without water falling from the sky!

You riding down a stream ?

It is at the moment, usually it’s a bit drier 🤣

Nant y Arian yesterday, Gwydir today, CyB tomorrow and then again on Monday. I love this country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Fantastic weekend. Took Reeksy Jr1 to buy a new to him bike, then some bits including a dropper for his old bike to sweeten the hand me down to his little bro.

Spent the afternoon chopping bars and fitting dropper and a new front tyre, setting sags and the like.

Then a big Sunday morning shred to see if it was worth it.
Thumbs up all around.

Glorious morning this morning! Still a quagmire on most of the tracks and Waggonways, but a lovely bit of sunshine 🌞

Nice wee cafe ride in the Cairngorms on Saturday

Started off quite cold, then the sun came out

Cinnamon bun stop

I took a little sit down in a prickly bush, slimy wet wood is not the best friend of poor technique and a set of mezcals

Sunny beer garden to finish

Didn’t get out for a proper ride so went for a local pedal. Found some very large steep stuff to come back for when I’m in the mood.

Hebden classics again. Beautiful day, feels like spring is finally arriving

Did my biggest ride since I bought the road bike. 66 miles – I can’t move any more lol

A hard slog round bits of the Cheviots

Proper clarts up there I’ll bet @sofaking

@fazzini. Some areas were fine , others were down right unpleasant

Just a short 24 mile loop from home to try out new groupset, was lovely 😊

not cheap

Some fantastic pics on here.

Here’s my effort….. 70km loop from the door, headed west for a change to Box Hill, largely tarmac and some accidental bridleway and gravel courtesy of me not looking closely enough at Komoot last night… Great route as it happened, predictably the tyres were terrible/brilliant fun in the slop but the trails were largely dry.

no, though after selling the mechanical groupset, not quite so much, but yes !

First weekend (or any time of the week) ride since November, as a result there are no pics. There is a sense of enormous well-being though.

First ever visit to the pump track with the kids. Not pedalling is tiring!

Saturday a short blast in the NW Fells….

Followed by a hike up Catbells for the Festival of Lights.

We went searching for a way to cycle from Clatteringshaws Reservoir to Loch Doon (Galloways) – we failed but nobody was complaining.

Dungeon Stone

Off-piste

Bit late to the party busy weekend so I had to make the most of this evening

wow, some of you guys live next to some stunning parts of the country!
