Fabulous conditions tonight in the Derbyshire Dales

We love a bit of X-wing Kenevo.
You should add a second rear mud guard zipped to the chainstay which overlaps (on the outside of the existing one) the first one, otherwise all the crap gets funnelled into the linkages/motor hole - there's more in the 2018/19 Kenevo thread.
But something like this (just a cheapo under saddle clip on guard cut to size)

I have a much better one than what I'm running at the moment, just won't fit with the 2.8 Eddy Current. The one in the pic is getting binned as it does nothing
Anyone else?
In answer to your question ..Yes....but I'm not saying which option
Fabulous! Thank you very much for sharingAn 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 ..View attachment 122644View attachment 122646
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 ..View attachment 122648
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

Popped my Greno Woods virginity today 
like nothing I've ridden before ( Smashes Cannings out the park ). Above my limit but had a great couple of hours riding within my limit here. Was hoping to get over to Wharncliffe but I twinged my back and it flared up so had to call it a day early. Cased and rolled nearly all the features lol but still had an awesome time and more importantly survived to ride again.

Evidence that THEY are dumbing down the trails on the North Shore. Then again, we are all getting older and a little extension to our wood, could come in handy. Do you agree?
Looks straight forward enough...

When seeing it first time I thought it is the „Specialized trail“ 
Then found it is „N“ and part of the Neandertalsteig:

A very very muddy bike ride
Bike standing up on its own purely from the sticky mud
I must admit to pushing my bike through this horrible clay mud, which took ages and ages. Never going back to that route again.

E.T. home.
Visiting Lapland and bike parks. First park Ylläs. Might be the only park where you have to be careful because reindeers 
Daily morning ride to get to some trails. Glad I look up once in awhile. Surprise!
Tried backing up but he just kept coming.
Eventually backed into a hiker. (Not sure who was worse).
The hiker and I backed into an exit of another trail. The big guy just kept coming.
We let him safely pass. 400lb+ black bear…couldn’t even care about us.

Then these two guys went squirrelly 
Is that Burke? I wonder if it was the same one I saw last month when I was riding up the road to Deliverance. I yelled and yelled at the bear but he kept walking towards me. I pulled off to the side of the road as far as possible but it kept walking and eventually went into the bush beside the road around 20 feet from me. I was shaken but not enough to ride back down THAT road!
If I lived where you do a spare pair of undercrackers and a bog roll would be an essential part of my back pack kit ..
He was a big lad !
If you had carried on riding towards him and shouting would he have run into the hedge or attacked.
Obviously you were on your way there ..did the battery last until you got to the summit ?
You're completely safe . . no way can hiker run faster than you can ride!
Yup, Burke. Woodlands walk side though. I’ve seen this guy several times around Six and upper Franks. It’s likely the same guy that you ran into …big, slow moving and not getting out of the way.
I did have a face-to-face with a bigger guy, just above Franks trail, a few years ago. Scared the crap out of both of us. We met on a corner. A few months earlier he took my backpack, iPhone and energy bars. Lesson learned.
A Boy-Scout is always prepared
,. I still hate when it happens though 
.Most bears yes…but not this guy. I had to give him room. You could tell he wasn’t gonna move out of the way.
He’s probably the father of some bears we see here. The grandfather is friggen big though.
Climbed that long long ago. Only by the "tourist" route mind you. Not been back to the Alps in years unfortunately. Nice pic.
Now that's what I call a HAZARD! Scary stuff. There's nothing in the UK that can harm you apart from the usual rabid humans. There are endless debates about should we reintroduce Wolves or Bobcat/Lynx. Nothing doing on that front as the farmers and landowners don't think much of the idea. Don't think that anyone has really suggested bears in the forest!
Haven’t had an encounter with a Grizzly or Brown Bear yet but the black bear can be just as bad …or worse. I really worry about Cougars though.…oh! and some hikers.
Went past Deliverance and followed the power lines down a few weeks ago. Connected to Jump Line. Rode up Jump Line for a while and then followed the trail back down to that steep road. Some of the features are way above my pay-grade, but a lot of work was done there. I should have took pics…next time.
