Nice find. I’m not sure if it’s worth restoring though. Maybe you can identify this one. I think it’s a Pony?

Lol - cue "Twilight Zone' music
Funnily enough, the guy I was riding with I met on this forum a couple years back, after briefly bumping into one another at Kuitpo
He has a great You Tube Channel "Get Fit or Die Trying"
Heaps of Adelaide and regional SA Trails ridden and rated
Worth a look
Even get to see my lard arse in a few !

Enjoying the super-bloom in nor-cal. We get about 5 minutes of greenery before everything turns golden brown (Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland CA).

First ride at Nockamixon this season, they close the trails in the winter. Cut the ride a bit short when I crashed going into a berm too hot and low. Right shoulder is paying for it now but I'll be back out in a week... or 2.

Yes I had once had a book about how some places got their names a fascinating read .
Beautiful pictures, thanks for posting them.
Two days trail building & tidying .. 20 something KM's, absolutely bolloxed.
And no crash?
No Bike = No Crash ...And no crash?
Did a mix of solo and team, solo where I know the trails well/have previously tidied the most, or ones I built in the first place which needed re-routing after logging - sometimes it's more efficient with one (4 guys came down the one I made a new start for yesterday morning, probably unaware they were the first down it and amazingly all on EMTB's) and Team on bits I've ridden once or making new sections which are normally closed off.
Lots of Ticks ! Beware anyone in Europe, seems to be crazy numbers this year. Took 15 !!!!! off the dog after one section. 5 later. 5 more this morning. 1 off me. One guy had one on his left testicle... Not sure who had the worst deal there.
No crashes, but one guy had a machette accident and cut through the tendons on the back of his hand, fortunately they emergency operated other wise you get shrink back and it's not easy.
Helping out for (running, so don't look if you don't run, though you can ride it if you're hardcore, it gets ridden as they film on bike and final course check is normally on e-bike) :
Trail de Guerlédan
Le trail de Guerlédan, 5 courses pour tous de 8 à 65 km, des courses enfants et une course ado.

Last day for this part of the trail build. Been here almost everyday for the past 4months. Rain, snow, hail and some mosquitoes lately. No 
bears though.
Bike needs a rest after a 10km ride to the site.
I need a rest sometimes too.
There’s the end of this 1.5km trail.
A few jumps at the end of this section.
Tying into this jump line. This is just a warmup.
Chainsaw, sawzall, Rogue, small rake, shovel and a dirt-bag with two old tickets to Iron Maiden. Oh…and water.

bears though. Do you pack all that gear on your bike? Or, are you dragging a trailer?

I love riding here. This is 6 miles from my house.
No trailer …just backpacks. I use 3 different packs, which depends on what I’m planning to work on. I’ll stash the tools in the area but carry fully charged batteries with me almost each time.
The Evoc Trail Builder pack can carry a heavy load but the added weight can throw off your balance somewhat. The extra 15-20lbs gives ya a good workout during the ride. Sometimes I need to pack in materials and hardware also.
Trail Building Tip; Don’t leave your iPhone and energy bars in the same pack. The bear
will take it and run away. 
Looks a long way to them mountains.
Nursey said as I'd been a good boy and my wound was healing well I was allowed to go for a ride today as long as I was careful not to fall off ( obviously hasn't seen me ride 
)..
Quite what the missus would say is another matter ..but she's in Turkey on a girls jolly holly..so while the cats away..
Did a Bolts Law there & back in the North Pennines and having travelled down in brilliant sunshine as soon as I got there it started to "persist" down ..oh joy ..but at least the recent Endura Singletrack ll jacket got a good workout ..(I've two MT500 Jackets and much prefer this one )
Some pics ..
Did I fall off ..hell yeah ..it ain't a proper ride without a tumble ..

From that spot, I’d say it’s about 16 miles (26 km) over to the Doña Anas. It’s actually a really nice ride made up of a little pavement, a lot of dirt and 2-track roads, and some singletrack. It’s my favorite close-to-home bikepacking overnighter.
100% with your character assessment..and yeah I did

Last afternoons ride, another top day on the Sunny Coast for only a couple of weeks away from winter. Still manage to work up a sweat getting a KOM up Mt Beerburrum climb which is a grade 4, heaps easier on the Bosch motorized Focus over my old Shitmano powered Merida

This is why we ride tubeless in the High Desert. And these Acacia thorns are small ones, at that. These things are a bitch when old and dry.
Surprised even tubeless would stand up to that. I wouldn't like to fall on that .
