Wkd riding pics lets have them

I rode to work in the dark & then rode home in the dark 🙁

Got to see a heron night fishing though 🙂

Local woods on Saturday, bloody lovely.

Certainty was, my pics don’t do it justice!

gutted! Was supposed to be out Saturday morning but mini-cp had other ideas 🙁

Got this a few weeks back 🙂

Skipped the enduro that Kiwi was at as I’d double booked a charity road ride

Warming up

Rider Briefing (8c)

Heading out, short gravel stint to start – the top guys who organised it all were up the weekend before sweeping a line

Getting out on the open roads

Working hard

The nice bits about having a photographer along on the ride in the support car

We did it!
And done! He'll of a day and lots of mo cash in the bank by Mike Smith[/url], on Flickr

Had a Strava blip but it was my first Imperial Century, my first Metric Double and at a pace that was nearly 8kph over my 100km pace.
That is just the small stuff, so far the Hobart Mo Bro’s (and Mo Sis’s) have raised over $82,000 for Movember Men’s Health Charities

No riding, just spent most of the weekend with this view

No riding for me, but I ran up Blencathra on Friday morning. It was all kinds of awesome

My Mrs at FOD on friday

Yep, was foggy in the Vorest this weekend, butt !

took a mate to cannock for the first time, a mix of FTD, monkey and off piste, braking bumps were shocking!

Justinbieber nice! went round the Edges on thurs, not bad conditions.

Probably the worst pic here, but nice to be up there well before anyone else.

Followed [part of] one of the South Devon rivers through the country lanes and up onto Dartmoor.

Did you head down to dog kennels from there?

If so, did you manage to stay on the bike? It’s sooooo slippy near the top.

Haha. I’m so glad someone else thinks the same. I’ve never been down the top half so slowly before. It’s like riding on sheet ice, the bottom half was almost bone dry. I just can’t get any confidence back after a year out and when it’s like it was yesterday I struggle even more.

I did an unplanned somersault into a big clump of grass there a couple of weeks ago.

Took it very gingerly last night, trying not to brake on the mud, and just about stayed on.

Had to dab a few times but managed to stay upright, unlike on the lower steps in the Japanese gardens last week. Really slippy resulting in a high side/otb. Too eager on the brakes, seriously considering a skills course or something.

Visiting relatives this weekend – had to get my fun during the week.

walked saturday early up Grizdale Pike for sunrise

rode up to skiddaw house sunday then back along lonscale fell

Cannock was lovely away from the main trails. Couldn’t believe how dry it was after the downpour at the start of the week.

Bluearsedfly….

Same place my pic was taken at the top of the page!

Epic pic – very NZish

Here’s a few from our long weekend in the Lakes ?

@bonesetter cheers

Nice pics Simon. What camera is that?

Whilst not quite the weekend it was yesterdays ride. A stunning day out on the Gower Peninsular in South Wales. Makes you glad to be alive. This is why……

The weekend before last:

Riding to the cafe after bivvying out on Friday night:

Couple of laps around haldon and then a rad skills session with Evolve Mtb brushing up on wheels off the ground technique!

Great pics everyone

northenerindevon – nice shots of Rhosilli and Worms Head

Thanks @martinhutch 🙂

The camera is a little Fuji XQ2 – really under-rated IMHO so they’re pretty reasonnbly priced. Compact too so they fit nocely on a shoulder strap but you can still use the controls with gloves on.

What a job to get these on the site, nearly lost the will to live.
Picassa is now Google photos and doesn’t share well anymore. Flickr doesn’t seem to work on W10 Microsoft Edge can’t find the BB code.
A bit of a backward step to have to use old explorer to load photos.

Hungover and starting out of Coniston to Swathwaite and back over Walna Scar

There is nowhere as good to ride a mountain bike as Settle in the Dales. This was the Pennine Bridleway this weekend. Simply stunning. pic.twitter.com/OesJ2hqBU2

If you’ve already stuck your pics on FB you can just link photo URL from there.

Must have been the dodgy chilli Tom 🙂
