Guys, so easy: Pale Rider
Pic of the Day

Tarland Trails yesterday... a bit foggy in the morning, but turned out to be a lovely day. 27.4 miles, 5800ft climbing... and today, my body feels like it's been hit by a bus! Muscles I didn't know I had are aching 
7 am start - no one else in the car park. I didn't see another human until about 8.30am when I went back to the car to swap over my Range Extender and have a snack. Maybe 4 or 5 cars at that point. Even when I finished up at about 11.30, there were only 15 cars. A big difference to last time I was there, where people were having to park offsite as the car park was full!
Up to the top, and the blue sky was visible. It gradually crept up to about 22°C, which was just fine.

That's a decent ride!
Good! It wouldn't be fair on the rest of us if it didn't hurt!and today, my body feels like it's been hit by a bus! Muscles I didn't know I had are aching
How much does your LSL2 weigh?
I was at it for 4 and a half hours… and ended up coming down the last run sitting gliding as I was so exhausted!That's a decent ride!

How much does your LSL2 weigh?
Normally it’s just my legs… but today it’s abs, arms, shoulders, neck. A good workout!!
Bike is a fraction over 17kgs at the moment. I reckon if I took off my Garmin mount (front and rear) it’d be under 17kgs!
Levo SL 1.2 2023 - from the frame up!
I'll start the thread with a picture... and then explain what I've done!! This is a thread detailing my build so far of my new Levo SL. I’d class it as my dream build, as it’s been built using the components I want, without considering the cost of the parts… so no holding back. I’ve...

Thanks! It’s a Jaguar F-Pace SVR.
Me?! I only had a full fate (Trek Rail 9.9) for about 2 weeks and thought it had too much lower. Swapped it for a 2019 SL, and couldn’t be happier. I then swapped it for the 2023 model a couple of months ago. I ride it in my own Eco setting of 15/45 so I’m still putting a decent shift in. I can get about 40 miles on that setting without the Range Extender.

Cheers for that, good to know, looks like it’s a contender based on those figures
I had an interesting day yesterday. Took the train to Ribblehead for an easy ride round Cam Fell
Then everything went pear shaped. My buddy’s chain jumped off, then we tried a short cut and met Mr Grumpy and his angry son who made turn round. Then I got a call about a family emergency and had to sprint back to make the next train, which had no room for the bikes. I got on and left my mate with both bikes to wait 2 1/2 hours for the next train
It all worked out in the end, except for the M-in-L who was finally admitted at 03.00

It wasn’t you on that gravel bike was it ?I was cycling around Horton in ribblesdale yesterday
It was a tad warm though.
Yes it was warmish, should have chosen a forest ride really
Not me. We rode around pen-y- Ghent and did a 30 mile round tripIt wasn’t you on that gravel bike was it ?

So you sometimes meet the ( Get off my Land ) types. Not bad where I am to be fair. But the looks I get from some walkers a lot of folk anti bike.
Taken the other night. With the temperature we've been seeing in the UK this last while, thought it easier to go out at night. Was brilliant fun.
I've ordered a torch for my helmet, as realised going through trees at speed with just a fixed one is, erm, interesting

I’m thinking of doing Heartbreak Ridge tomorrow morning, before the weather turns. It’s about 28degC in Aberdeen today, which is unheard of! I had my 4 year old along the beach on his bike this morning for a quick 4 miles end to end.
Don’t want to do too much today if I’m going to go round Heartbreak Ridge twice tomorrow.
Last time I felt exhausted on my second climb. This time I’ve got a range extender
Early( ish ) start for myself today ..to avoid the " worst " of the heat and also a
s I have my son to ferry about this afternoon ( new student digs ) ...
A ride of two halves to avoid the 5 mile slog ( climb) on tarmac in the middle of the Bolts Law loop in the North Pennines .
So a there / beyond & back to Bolts Law ..then transporting the bike to Blanchland for the loop over to Slaley Forest & back on the Carriers Way ....
The Lead Mining Trail ( Bolts Law )
Part 2 ..The Carriers Way
Still got more than a little sweaty..
Still waiting for my boy to get in touch ..no doubt nursing a house-warming hangover from last night !
Youth of today ..I never did..

Went for a jolly round to St Cyrus and around today, just 20 miles. Think I've lost a couple of kgs with fluid loss .....

Yep you need one pointing where you’re going and one pointing where you’re looking. Some folk I ride with go to far though and look like a UFO

I'm not a small fella, that's not helping. But, I've never been a fan of the heat. I'm looking forward to the colder weather
