Durham City Centre?

Rode, first time with the drone, other people were there. For someone who rides and doesn't usually stop, or take photos on 90% of my rides, it was hard to put my shit down and get a drone in the air.

I always thought it would be interesting to document the network of trails around here with a drone. There is footage of GoPro’s for some trails usually taken from a helmet mounted camera and 10-15 minutes long. The rider’s are very skilled also.

A drone perspective might give a better view …especially a drone that can follow a rider through dense forest. That could be possible now.

However, drones are banned from this area …along with ATV’s, motorcycle’s, smoking, hunting, tree cutting, off-leash dogs, camp fires, and probably a few other things.

But class 1 EMTB’s are allowed. But I’ve seen Vespa’s, E-unicycles, E-skateboards, Surron’s and a remote controlled toy truck.

Just a couple shots from yesterday. It's a relatively new section of trail. I've seen the entrance for a couple years, but it didn't look like a worthy trail. This is the first time I rode it, and it's pretty good. It's a little technical and strenuous.

Looking super dry out there. Don't think we've had rain for over three weeks now.

Yeah, everything is looking super-parched our way too, but least it's dust instead of thick sticky mud.

Tick country that the tweezers will be out tonight , probably have to phone a real good friend.

Something completely different on today’s ride… Rain! Nothing like the smell of desert rain. About as grippy as it gets. Little rutted but nothing too severe.

 

[RustyMTB]

Got stuck behind this guy for ten minutes, using the bucket to clear overhanging tree branches.

Back to Kirkhill today in the glorious sunshine. 25 miles and 3300ft of elevation. Bumped into two guys I'd never met before but ended up riding with them for a bit, which was cool.

 

[HandsomeDanNZ]

Finally clicked over 1000km on my ebike last week
Quite a milestone for me.
Flawless operation for the most part, too.

Tried out a new route in the Black Mountains yesterday, It was "ferntastic". My riding bud totally failed to ride this one out

Stunning day tho, even though the route wasn't without som Nav issues!

Tick country that.

 

[AlexLeigh]

It is! We were in Somerset (Porlock) a few weeks ago and were pulling them out daily. I gave myself a thorough tick check post ride and post shower and seem to have managed to avoid the wriggly little blighters this time out!

In terms of the bracken shots only, the Sherwood Pines and surrounding area guided ride was like that. Complete with the arse over bars shot! (Oh allright then, it was me!)

you must get a lot of kids wanting a go.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Wondering if @Just gan will warn of ticks when playing in with RC cars ... 🫪

 

[Pizzman]

They actually just like to watch. It’s difficult to drive on a narrow course. I have a smaller 1/18 for kids to drive makes the course “wider”

ah yeah!
loving the little trees - helps with the scale
I nearly rode over one of them when going down a hill near me (Leith) - was a whole RC club going up
I felt like a Giant

Keep the windows shut you never know. So is that toy cars ? .

The only thing missing is a crazy South American rally fan running across the track in front of the car.

It's a real car. Poor Pizzman was born with a rare condition that only allowed him to grow to 5 inches tall. I'm surprised he could find a Levo that fit his tiny stature.
