Weekend riding pics…. let's cheer ourselves up on a Monday morning.

Club ride around Clapham, Yorkshire Dales

Well, on Friday I was riding on Vancouver North Shore, now I’m back in Lincolnshire. Struggling to see the up side tbh.

Great photo Tang – good job you weren’t on wide bars! You’ve have been harvesting that..

Tracey – saw that thread, really sad. Mate had his nicked a while ago and it’s just horrible. Hope you get it sorted soon. I reckon you should leave that mutt in the garage, he looks game to take on a burglar !

Andy – is that the little roll-in at the top of Crummackdale?

Not strickly the weekend, as it’s last week really.
Still first time my son has been above the clouds, but not in an aeroplane. Thanks to AQR for some guiding round the beginner trails for the little man. He loved his new XS sus bike with 24″ wheels.

Guess where? 🙄

Alex, great wide bar name: The Harvester.

Could decide which bike to take on the family holiday so ended up putting some Big Apples on the Rumble. So wrong but it rolls really easily.

Yesterday saw an flyer for the Rando de Huitres (The Oster Rally) – 6€ entry including refreshment before and after and as many oysters as you can eat!

25km of flowing singletracjk through the woods and then a bimble around the oyster beds over near Royan in Western France. A proper French family day out.!

Oh and (epic)steve – can’t see from the photo but I think my mate sold you a brown Santa Cruz many, many years ago. Is that it? !

I think one of the guys I used to ride with, John, who also had an Epic, mmoved to a Santa Cruz so might have been him.

@tang – excellent. We’ll go halves on the royalties. This time, next year, we’ll be millionaires 🙂

@epic-steve. Could well be. IT was a long time ago…

Golspie up in the Highlands.

Can’t say it was from this weekend but recently come back from greece and hired a bike for 3 days cheeky riding 🙂

Took my Singular Osprey road bike out Saturday evening when it cooled down, and stretched the definition of ‘road’ a bit.

Dynamo lighting FTW too – this has really opened up the times I can ride.

Had a cracking day at FOD on Saturday.

Ride to red and blue trails in the morning and spent the afternoon mucking about on the DH trials which were quite different on the hardtail! Managed six and a half DH runs which was ace.

Yep, with all the other weekend warriors.. Can’t wait to get my nav back! 😐

Plain old Llandegla for me. First clear day I’ve had there.

First photo from the other week but matching sunflower photo! Had an epic weekend with Drumlanrig Thursday, Fri morning Gypsy Glen (happy with only two dabs considering the bog and the wind) from GT parking, then the red route at GT in the soaking rain, Yair forest saturday and GT with some off piste including Broon Troot on the sunday!

Some pics from a week ago before i left for work. Bike into Val Veny above Courmayeur, carry/push up to the ridge then all down hill back to Courmayeur through the ski centre.

The push/carry up

Looking over at Monte Bianco

The run home. 1250m of decent.

Rather than the usual 1.5-2hr blast, had a ride to Bakewell over Chatsworth and Edensor one day last week. Stopped for a pint, a mate saw me on Facebook and came down on his Harley, so had another pint. Rode back to Rowsley up a farm track. Had another pint and some snap, then rode along the old railway to my local and had more pints. Set off a 1.30, got home at 10.30 😀
