@RustyMTB I carry one of these folding saws with me, they are very sharp and quite light, cheap too.. I've cut through 7" dia trees with one of these.

Aye know the feeling but were old anuff to Ken better
Curious do you get any negative comments doing it on any type of bike. I'm seeing tracks on places that amaze me, the top of Beinn a Bhuird the other week had loads of tracks .
No negative comments at all, was a crazy mix of people going up. Guy with a gravel bike on his back, some Ebikers proper going for it on the way up, about 6 people inc my friend on normal trail bikes, three groups of charity helpers taking up disable people in special wheel chairs. But even the hikers were really friendly as well.
Was a great experience!
Snowdon has a rule where Bikes are only allowed up before 10am so as long as you are down before 10 you are ok.

Sounds good to me . I've not had many myself to be honest. I used to do a lot of hill tracks many years ago. Pick decent tracks now so don't do much damage plus a lot of places are so in the wilds you don't meet much people .
Isn't that only in the summer months ?
I hope so u wid still be coming down in the dark up here at 10 am on a driech winter's day.

Yeah snow on 1.500 meters and above. Unfortunately they closed those trails so we had to stick with the rainy and muddy part of the mountains.

Six weeks off the bike with a separated shoulder 
so good to get back out this week. Then I came off and landed on the same shoulder again 
Seems OK though, bit sore today but will be back out later this week.
Maybe the front tyre with 3,000 miles on it doesn't help, twice now it's washed out with little warning
New one ordered.

From The O.C.
Our written local history doesn't go as far back as most of yours, but I'm fascinated nevertheless. Up in the hills overlooking the county, there is evidence of Acjachemen, but they have no written history. They all assimilated and their descendants are all rich casino owners today.
One of the trails we ride is called Joplin... for what reason I didn't know until Friday. While riding the trail, I decided I could no longer live in ignorance and decided that I MUST know more.
It turns out that J.C. Joplin moved into the mountains in 1877. He ended up building a road, which over the past 145 years has deteriorated into some sweet singletrack. Thank you Mister Joplin. The dude became treasurer of Orange County, put together our exhibit for the St. Louis World's Fair, and was the Secretary of the State Senate for quite a few years.
The second dude seated from the left is Joplin. Next to him is Joe Pleasants. Pleasants came here in 1861 at the age of 21 to run another guy's farm. He soon figured out that rather than mine silver out of the hills like everyone else, he could make more money with bees. He eventually became County Bee Inspector, and one of the peaks is named after him.
The sweet slice of cheesecake on the right is Jane Murdy. I don't know anything about her, other than she took care of Helena Modjeska when she became ill. Modjeska was a Polish Shakespearean actress who built her mountain home in the 1880's. A lot of features in the area carry her name.
Looking down from the middle section of what was once Joplin's road. You can spot singletrack on the hillside below.
Lower section of Joplin's road, heading down to the canyon below.

Nice autumn colours today (in Finnish ruska) and Common cranes are moving to the south. Winter is coming..

We had a good rain here in San Jose, Ca and they usually close the trails for a few days afterwards but the ground was so dry it just ducked it all up. I can't wait for a few months when these hills will be green again.
