Pic of the Day

[Mabman]

Didn't even have to ride my bike to gather these Lobster mushrooms, they were in my neighbors yard up the hill!

They are a very dense mushroom and the ones shown weigh 3-4lbs. total I would guess? Sliced thin and fried in some bacon fat is my go to for cooking them. After cleaning of course.......

4 weeks of no bike, just got it back from repair, it was good to get out again, was starting to go mad

A lovely ride with wife in the South Downs today before heavy rain forecast for tomorrow, the Autumn Equinox.

Done this pic before - looking south towards the Eastern Solent with Chichester cathedral spire just visible.

Bangor, N Ireland yesterday early evening.

A cracker 18 mile pootle around my local trails which are uncharacteristically dry.

Ive replaced my riser bars with a narrower and flatter bar and I really noticed the difference in steering. Seems much more agile. The hire bike I recently rode had the stock Orbea bars and I liked it - no wrist ache either.

 

[Artoist]

Time for long pants I think!!

Kentmere yesterday

Caught these two fools at Gisburn about to enter a red trail with no helmets! Tried talking to them about it but they just casually sauntered off......I dunno some deer

It’s things like this that really trigger me! What else could you do but worn them?

 

[Hobo Mikey]

They got no ideer.

Even when silly hot we always wear long trousers and long sleeve tops because the Brambles and Hawthorn bushes are savage.

Oh deer me….

Seriously thinking of building a cheaper bafang powered bike with one of the Chinese frames, seems a month for a Bosch repair is above average.

I nearly converted my tourer but bought a gravel ebike piddly 250 battery but it's cycleable on the flat with battery off. Tempting to convert it now though as wife uses gravel one as well . I could put a hub motor in it with a 1000 battery and do some touring. Too muddy in winter fed up cleaning bike 3 times a week .

I had a dry 23 miler last week bike was still quite dirty , about the same as yours. I fitted one of those horrendous looking rear mudguards , so kept the trousers clean. It will only get worse quickly I'm thinking.

 

[Hattori-Hanzo]

Bigger mud guard isn't a bad shout, it's just a pain in the arse cleaning the bike after a ride.

Enjoying the great weather and autumn harvest. View attachment 147137

Came across Ole Mate Dragon in Central NSW ..... I gave him a drink ........ I wanted to move him out of the middle of the road, so he didn't become roadkill, but he was having nothing to do with it ......

Very dry and dusty out there, but some beautiful pastures as well.

Some of my mates riding MTBs. But boy did they regret it on the hills .......

 

[Sudastone]

Went up to Calero County park and rode 17 miles after I took out the inserts and put on new lighter tires and in my mind it really made a difference. Bike feels a bit snappier.

 

[The Hodge]

@Sudastone .
Did you "find some peace of mind " there?

Met a few on a humongous climb last week we were descending they were all climbing. . One lad from Botswana nearly cried when we told him he had 400 metres still to go to the top.

Today on local trails, it's just a pity that the switch said goodbye...
