    Rip round the Golfie this morning in sub zero temperatures.
    Makes a change from riding in the rain/fog/snow.
    As a bonus we bumped into a mate who pointed us towards a brilliant new trail. So nice to ride freshly cut stuff over there.
    Show us what you’ve been up to?

    no pics but I commuted to school by bike today as I wasn’t striking. Probably wouldn’t do it when the kids are in though.

    We are out in the Peak for a long weekend for my birthday. Arrived mid afternoon. Just got back from a 4 mile walk and finished off with fish and chips. Will be hitting the trails tomorrow morning.

    Missing the rain so had to find some other wet.

    What’s the difference between a Shag and a Cormorant? I can never remember.

    Mrs_OAB and I set off into the Trossachs from home on the road.
    However, her shifter crapped it’s guts leaving her with just three gears. No problems, I’ve a new shifter at home, I just need more outer cable from Roots Cycles on the way home.
    Well, that escalated.
    It’s NBD next week for mrs_oab…

    Good effort @mattoutandabout, whad is Mrs OAB getting (I know you said it was hard to get demo bikes)


    @rocketdog
    – I still have one, it looks like it’s come off an old and rather shaggy cow but I’m saving it for a special bike.

    Those bikes of @jimmy748 looks so short, so high and so steep angled!

    No riding today, out tomorrow and hoping for not too much mud. A forlorn hope I expect 😉

    Managed to find some snow on a high gravel road today. Not much left below 800m

    Also found a new forestry road. Not quite finished though. Still a bridge to build.

    No pictures taken today but I had a brilliant day at BPW with a few friends. Two of us have really struggled with our riding mojo the last few months so a day mucking about without the ups was called for. Took a few runs to get things going in the right direction but by lunchtime the flow was back and we were all buzzing ready for the next run. BPW has also made massive leaps in their offering since our last visit a few years ago too, we’d had a few successive visits where poor attitude from the drivers and a feeling of it becoming too corporate meaning we had stayed away from the place. Today though was good with an efficient uplift, friendly drivers, a quick check-in and they kept the cafe open for a while after the uplift finished so there was a good chilled atmosphere over a warm drink to end the day too.

    Really needed a good day to set me up for the year ahead and that’s what I got.

    Friday – a variation south of Dumyat.
    Some very steep gullies if you go exploring.

    I wish I was well enough, fit enough and had the time to ride bikes again 🙁

    After three days of descent based riding in the week it was a nice change to do a more xc focused ride out on the open hills with a stop off for food at a cafe on the way back.
    Cold but sunny and the first ride in months that didn’t involve washing bikes at the end.

    Local blast again, some trails I’ve not ridden for 10+ years. This gravel bike has made fall hopelessly in love with riding again. The thermos full of nice coffee helped, although I broke my cup on the first descent…

    Not this weekend but not worth a thread of its own, couple of videos from last weeks after work trails behind the office.

    @singlespeedstu yes mate, pieced together a nice loop with Himley, Baggeridge, the common…nice mix of canal, footpath, singletrack, the railway. Could do with inspiration if you can remember any of your old stamping ground!


    @rOcKeTdOg
    I’ve been digging around your corner of the internet so you are least partly to blame 😂

    I think you bumped into us at the Three Brethren @singlespeedstu . It turns out we were both at the first stages of a cold so we were fully out of it and not as chatty as we could have been. When you said “enjoy your ride” I thought you said “on your right” and I was a bit baffled when I turned back and you weren’t moving!

    No one else wanted to play so a morning of winch and drop. Exactly why I got this bike. I think if you look carefully you can see @singlespeedstu and @munrobiker in the distance.

    @munrobiker.

    not as chatty as we could have been.

    Master of the understatement.😂


    @sc-xc

    the common…

    Did you partake in any of the other activities that go on over there.😮
