Another, great but wet ride in The Cheviots😜
 
Super dry conditions on a trail rated Black but runs like a Double Black resulted in a grade 3 sprained ankle. :poop:

I was googling knolly to see the ebike.... then I realised you have slapped a knolly batch on a kenevo sl just to confuse ignorant plebs like me.

PS. Bring on the double blacks. Not many ebikers smashing big stuff. Load up some action shots. That track sounds sweet.

Haha... I made a wrap for my Kenevo cuz of the obnoxious SPECIALIZED that is splashed out all over the frame in GIANT WHITE letters (you missed the Ohlins Kashima forks... the colors messed with the Feng shui! of the bike!). Have you ever noticed when you say "hi" to anyone on the trail, they always look at what bike you are riding first? I have owned 10 Knollys and only 3 Specialized so my allegiance lies else where.
I tend to ride by myself or when I do group rides, no one wants to stop for photos. You can see video of the trails I ride around here in my tag line. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2zZG25wQ970XJ2Amk1yC9A

Chunky. I like it.

I must be the exception to that statement as I always greet the rider first .. I often ride off after having a chat without having a clue what the other bloke/ss is riding ..😁
 
An explorer ride today out of Mosedale, Cumbria ..the very eastern edge of the Lake District ..at least 50% of the trails ridden were unknown to any of us ...and truth be known a little naughty 😉
These " wild ponies " were on the first section of the ride ..

Mike , me & Richy are the other wild ponies 😁
The first off-road bit on the Redgate b/ way ..which then turns into a path ..

We were wondering where Dave was ..turns out his chain snapped ..

The tracks over Lowthwaite & Longlands Fells were something else both up & down in terms of steepness

Skiddaw House was open ..and Dave both made & bought everyone a cuppa with a contribution ..gotta say at that late stage of the day it was the finest cup of tea I've ever tasted ..cheers mate !

The drop back down from Skiddaw House is fantastic on a techy bridleway ..but to be honest the whole ride was spot -on 👌
Cheers lads
Edit: Wayne's numbers for the route ..that might explain why my legs feel a bit hollow this morning 😁
