First proper ride out since knee replacement ten weeks ago. Great to be back on the bike.

Had a spin round Aboyne, Masterblaster I think . Not used to routefinding at places I have never been before . Loads there I would need a guide. Managed Heartbreak Ridge as well only took one wrong turning. That's a cracker . I would love to go up the down if you know what I mean.

Finally got my arse into gear, loaded the bike onto the Buzzrack for its maiden journey..... Destination Lady Cannings

Would only have time for a few runs but ended up doing 2 of each as time was scarce today.

Glad i got out and enjoyed the trails albeit expecting them to be longer but fun all the same.

Good to test the Buzz out too which went well except not being used to having a bike on the back so it was a bit distracting at times.

Mmmmm!!! looking at youtube videos.... i might have my trails mixed up due to a lad saying " this is CookingOnGas and that one is BlueSteel " was i told a load of BS

Do you have to stop at the summit and sing the song ( Rose of Allendale ) if you ride there .
 
See i would need to sing the Scottish version then there's the English the Irish and probably a Welsh version as well , so nobody will understand anyone
 
What a day yesterday got to gym 6am, back out on bike for a quick spin (9miles) around heath common then back home. Fed myself relaxed for a few hours and went and done another 25.72 Miles (Personal Record). It’s was great to push in this weather on my old regular bike I would have done , in fact nothing I would not of gone out in this weather.
Long Live E Bikes👊

Your first pic..I'd be careful trying to ride that off piste ledge next to the canal ..I know its always better riding off-road in the vegetation but in this instance the path looks a better bet as a pedal strike would have disastrous consequences ..😉

Hope that was for a picture only. Knowing my luck it would fall in even doing that

I will let you know when my skill level gets there at the moment I will keep to riding the normal route, I only ride for fun and really can not see the fun in riding on the ledge.
