Pic of the Day
- Thread starter Kilham5
- Start date
After the snowfall. The paths are narrow and tight.
You must notice how cold affects battery in Finland or do you have a special battery ?
I'm glad that it's not just Shimano mechs that snap through the body! Of which I've had a few, but too few to mention. (Three in fact).
Ooh err! I didn't plan this, but my second sentence above made me think, so I looked up the lyrics and I was surprised at how relevant they are. Could be the trail riders anthem!
Good old Frank!Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
Top of Alps (Alpe d’Huez trail) at Hawes today. Been super busy everywhere lately. You can tell it’s vacation season because it’s busy beyond the snowbirds.
Does your Rise just have the smaller 420Wh battery,23 miles and 2490ft of climbing. Got home with 6% battery
or were you riding it pinned in Turbo mode full time?

It is spring trading for MLB so that’s a big increase in visitors.
630Wh, riding mostly in a mix of 4th, 5th and 6th assist modes. I'm not fat, but at 15.5 stone, I'm not light either
I need to tweak it down to around 5 modes tbh, but still figuring out which levels I like best.

The chute, was still a bit too slippy up there to handle the steeps on the bottom part of lovers lol especially with an assegai up front, had a hairy moment on hips n whips before riding up and taking that pic
Walking is good for the soul. Ben Rinnes yesterday about 40 minutes drive from home. 3 hrs up and down. Start at 300 mtrs top is 840. Walk it a few times a year also cycle up another way on Ebike.
It doesn't make much of a difference here on the flatlands. I'd say 30% and 25 km.
Today it was a perfect sunny winterday, though I'm looking forward to summer season with summer tires hopefully within three weeks

Within 3 weeks? I wish!
After today, which turned out to be one of my less wonderful decisions on where to ride, landed on my arse three times - twice when the rear spun up and dumped me in the mud and other time just slid out on a corner taken too fast.
New front Shorty 2 turned into a slick.
New High Roller 3 turned into a slick.
Was a bit mucky ...

Santa Ana Mountains: Starting in the OC, looking down on the IE.
There are some nice trails in these mountains. In the first pic, I'm looking down on a trail named Tombstone. It's not the direction I'm headed today. Frankly, Tombstone and a couple others in this area are not my cuppa. They're more for the big kids. They're steep, loose, and straight down. Don't let the beginning deceive you.
The second pic is the beginning of a trail called Motorway. It's some nice single track that starts at the top of the mountains and ends up in a small community down in the canyon. It's loose shale with a little bit of exposure, so you need to pay attention.
The day's route wasn't super technical. The appeal is the wilderness aspect and the casual vibe.

Ok
Brilliant i had first week in February at Serre chevalier area brilliant too much snow a couple of days though. That's my last ski trip
definitely too old now.. Only fell twice but that was coming back from pub so don't count . Lot of snow this year in France. Luxury holiday skiing nowadays.
Akshirly, wasn't my first choice. Was on my way to my first choice but there was a serious car crash in front of me and the road was blocked. So turned around and went to the above location but in retrospect now realise that could have got to first choice using some lesser known country roads.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing 'innit?
Took a chance and went to Glenlivet no snow at all so great day. Red loop was 15 miles then did Berties Berms 4 times a short blue really good fun that one. Only a dog walker a lad sorting the payment machine and a few lads building a new trail . Someone arrived to cycle as I was leaving.
Someone once said to me that Pennsylvania looks like Scotland and now I can’t unsee it.
Never heard that one before and not sure about Pennsylvania so
. A lad I know been to New Zealand a couple of times and said it's like Scotland on Steroids.

Today’s ride at the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve. First photo looking west from the Sunrise Ridgeline lookout and the second facing east towards the McDowell Mountains. A perfect 80 degrees (26.7). 25.3 miles, 2,818 ft vertical, 55% battery used at 45% Eco and 55% Trail. None of Satan’s serpents crossing the trails today.

Yes, but we don't hunt Haggis down here Gan. They're a protected speciesNever heard that one before and not sure about Pennsylvania so
Ive only been there once ( a few years back ) with a similar result in terms of being the only rider there ..things have moved on in terms of development since my visit ..
Might be under consideration for our trip in May ??
( 4nights from 1st May Bank Holiday Weekend ..staying in Ballater again)
Yes it has changed , I never rated it but think it's great now. Nothing technical a few wee jumps you can avoid on the red . Jump park .There are quite a few short black runs appearing now going off the red route. About an hour from Ballater so worth considering. Great drive coming over the Lecht as well. Not far away May. Tak the bonnie weather with yous like you did last year please .

When I was invited to a weekly Tuesday night ride at Phoenix Mountain Preserve, I was expecting maybe 10 riders. There was over 35 last night! I guess when people heard there was going to be carne asada afterwards, everyone showed up. What a great ride!
