I took a picture of my riding buddy. It's just too dark for the iPhone to take burst pictures, so everything is blurred

Two trips (Sat & Sun) to Darwen Moors/Jubilee Tower.

Saturday, on my own, 20.5 miles, 3000ft of climbing (3781ft if you believe the OS Maps app!) and 1400kCals burnt off. Had the Orbea Range Extender on for first time to see what effect it had. This ride used all of it pretty much (so 252wHr). It was particularly boggy up on the top of the moors - went up to the bottom of my brake discs twice!

Anyway, some piccies...

Sunday, with my good lady. 16.7 miles, 2100ft and 1020kCals burnt. (No pics)...

That's nearly 46 miles since Friday night and 5900ft of climbing... No wonder I feel knackered! :ROFLMAO:
 
Quick, two-hour inaugural ride of my new Mondraker Crafty R. 😁

Starting point next to the Abbey of Einsiedeln, Switzerland.

Across the viaduct, the first milestone of this ride is visible, second peak left of the lamp post.

After a short gravel section, the road turns into singletrail again. Lovely.

Don't mind if ride across your dinner table?

I you look closely at the track, you'll see the reason why my first upgrade will be mudguards.
