Weekend ride picture thread. What everyone been up to

Up early for a ride up onto Cutgate to get back in time for the WC DH.

Dry, warm and dusty. Perfect conditions

Standard spin around Curbar on the new bike this afternoon. Was gloriously sunny to start, but ended up grey. Still, great to get out.

Sophie did 22 miles today. Her longest ever ride.

wee sprint to 20mph.

Renfrewshire council redid the pavement round the airport and made it a cycle path too. Shame about this idiot.

battered around my local flat as a pancake woods this morning on the first solo ride I’ve had in a long time. Was nice to get some headspace after an eventful week at work and also just focus on a ride.

I’m dahn sarf visiting friends. Steeps, jumps and drops in the local woods.

On the eeb for the first time in ages and ages.

This photo is probably the least sendy bit of the whole ride!

Great fun but wrote off the rear rim on a massive case onto a log.

was nice in the sun!

Creating a new niche – bike-foraging! Think of the marketing potential…

Getting a spoke fixed

Did a solo loop south of home, just fringing on the Peak and just about avoiding the crowds of Chatsworth show. Took the single speed out for the first time in ages and really enjoyed it apart from the mysterious creak it’s now developed.

Rubbish pics, but High Tor, Black Rocks – Black Rocks is ace, rocky tech at the top, loamy steeps at the bottom

Off to Molini next Saturday. Between now and then I need to restore right elbow to working order. Tendonitis not compatible with six days uplifted riding 🙁 So only cleaned the bike ready to put it in the bag.

Some great pics ^^ – very jealous!

Saturday was a bit of a blur…

Hebden bridge to Glossop by scapegoat hill, wessenden head, Holme moss, tpt and back by canal/Pennine bridleway and some awful roads between Hadfield and stalybridge. Beautiful day, not too hot.

Local 30 something miler from home round the local turbines yesterday morning. Felt like the first day of summer..

Rather than the usual weekend bash round Hamsterley, I’ve gone to the other side of the world.

No actual riding pictures because of how wet it was. There’s a typhoon close by but I judged it as good enough to go out. Stuck with the easy run as well as it was really slippery. This one is the Fujimi Panorama bike park which is the main one in Japan.

Uplift:

Bear warning:

Then the weather came in:

After a few runs:

Luckily they have a really good bike wash facility:

This one is about 2 hours drive from where I’m staying. There’s smaller one about an hour away which I’m going to try next time. Also found a really good local bike shop who sorted my slightly leaky tubeless setup and some brake pads that I worn out from yesterday.

Ride and a pint in the sunshine yesterday.

Grey and drizzly solo ride this morning. Still mostly dry and dusty in the woods though.

Cademuir Hill near Peebles

Sadly, not a great deal.  Just in time for the first decent weekend weather wise in Glasgow for weeks.

Not grumpy – honest.

Mostly smashing my mech 

Took my youngest to Swinley on Saturday to do a loop of the red route, we stopped so she could session the ‘drops’ which she’d not done before, about 10 runs later she was flying down!

25 miles and 1300m of ascent at Staunton on the Rail on Saturday. Rode a few trails I haven’t seen before and nearly ruined my under crackers on one of them…

A nice cafe stop with ice cream was most welcome.

Went for a Play in the mist and wind. Whinlatter  Up a very blowy Grisedale  Crag hill and back down to Force mine … way chunkier than I remeber .

Great turnout on the @bike.adventure.squad ride

I’ve been for 3 rides this weekend – trying to eke out the last of the summer holidays!

Singlespeeding around the Otter valley.

Tandeming and icecreams with my daughters

And I just got back from a 90km gravel ride, but it was misty and drizzly, so no pics.

AE for first time in a while. Cleared Rambo first blood, which was a surprise. Didn’t take any pics so…..

Bit of Windhill, lap of Longeleat (saw Chris Smith and his lad outside the main house) and Shearwater, then a stop for refreshments at Compton Abbas on the way home.

Been a while since we trudged through tussock and heather to find a Covenanters resting place, Auchencloy.

33 miles on the Gravel bike around Coniston for us on Saturday, glorious day

Fatbike group ride from Tromie to Feshie

Auchencloy

There were no trees when I visited, may 27 years ago?

Maybe share your pic with IWM.

Friday counts as the weekend right?

Had an enjoyable evening gravel ride (and a fair chunk of tarmac) around Loch Katrine. Was just perfect weather and temperature wise.

This one was actually from Tuesday but thought I’d post it as it is just so pretty.

Blackness, looking towards the Forth Bridges.

Does Friday count?

Friday’s ride.. Mixed road and gravel. Everything was up or down

a lot….

Back at work tomorrow…

Saturday – local Gravel Ride taking in Clumber and Sherwood Forest

Sunday – Nidderdale, singlespeed – that fine rain that soaks you through..

I razed the garden. I’ve spent so much time on the bike recently it was got a bit out of control.
