Only managed to take 1 picture on today's ride, got lost and stumbled into bog, rock, ditch central ! Decided to just keep following a fence then had a gut instinct to change route... Found an amazing but very gnarly down which was extremely fun and scary.

I got out on the analogue last night to test how bad my fitness was since being an ebiker for a year now.
Turns out, not too bad.

The biggest scotch egg i'd ever seen, apparently it was a venison one and he made all sorts of gooey noises eating it.

A deer laying a giant egg (“apparently it was a venison one…”): new to me😎 But then one of the early entries in Wikipedia was all about rabbit eggs…. That author posts about Covid and Trump these days🤣🤣🤣

Yeah when he said what he'd ordered i was like ...............errrrrrr. made sense when i saw it.
 
Evening ride in the Doña Ana Mountains, part of the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument. Las Cruces, NM, USA. It was a good ride until I noticed the front tire had gone flat a 1/2 mile from the parking lot. Easier to hike out than try and fix it trailside at that distance.

I always image these places littered with the shallow graves of dead drug dealers or hookers!
 
You suck etoni! Stop posting those pics or you'll end up with a tribe of frothing emtbers knocking on your door.
Is this your hoemtown or is it a tourist spot or both?
About the trails - do you drive up to them or ride from town & if so what elevation are they.
How long are your typical rides up there?
 
Strawberry Peak Loop: One of the best rides in Socal.

Dark patch of buildings off in the distance is Downtown Los Angeles. The tallest building is just over a thousand feet tall. Despite the millions of people down in the flatlands, few people venture onto this trail.

The trail is narrow, steep, loose, off camber, with a lot of exposure.

Strawberry is the highest peak in the front range, at 6,147 feet.

@etoni In Switzerland, what are the rules about riding on ‘public trails”?
Looking at your map, there are lots of trails and they all use the same type of dashed line. On a U.K. OS map, because the markings are the same style, that would mean access was identical on all those trails. You’ll no doubt know that in the U.K. there’s more than one type of public trail; some can be cycled on and some are just for walking (there’s more mesmerising complexity than that, but I’ll not go there 🙄). If you can cycle at all on a trail in the U.K., you can always take an unmodified peddled eeb on that trail, unlike in some countries (e.g. U.S.).
Thanks — learning so much from your amazing posts 😊💪🌈
