Bike is ok though!

Ouch, heal well mate. It’s a real boy thing to worry about the bike even though the body is busted ??

The custom armour looks hot and itchy ..

And it's white, so easy to put some custom decals

Up on the Quantocks today, looking over the Bristol channel and south Wales.
A stunning place to ride. View attachment 39340

It's a great place. Did you explore many Coombes? I was down on one of the beaches you can see in your pic this weekend...

That is a real summer bummer. Hope it you get it soon and you end up spending Autumn shredding

At least you are on 2-wheels

At least you are on 2-wheels

Very true. It's been a fun summer biking anyway, despite the dodgy knee ??

Near Burrator Reservoir on Dartmoor. The descent to here from Whiteworks is an epic.

What`s up with the vintage seats !??
2020 bike with a 1920 seat ? No Ergon . Why ?

It's the only seat I find truly comfy for long rides. The Brookes leather saddles take a while to break in but over time moulds to your body shape. The wife is still using the seat that came with her bike and is happy with it.
No padded pants needed for me!

Fridays > Mondays

Dunkery beacon today, 520 metres above Porlock our base. Lots of climbing and descending on route.
The 3.75 mile, 400 metre descent from Hawkcombe head back into Porlock on single track is totally brilliant.

What I think you need here is the BEAST technique.

Dunkery beacon

My subconscious read that as BACON .... I know what I'm eating this weekend ..

I think @Gary could help us with advice on the Cow Hop, or alternatively the "Shepherds Swerve" aka "The Shitty Shoulder" ....

Wanna know a little trick to move any amount of cattle from your path?
Simply pick up a stick/twig.(It doesn't even have to be big) and hold it in your hand, arm outstretched to the side of you while looking at them. The cattle will see it and retreat. You don't even need to wave the stick or make any sound.
Try it.
Thank me later.

 

[Patchinko]

Black hill on the Quantocks again, amazing 360 views.
Back to the flatlands of the new forest tomorrow.
We've really enjoyed our trip to the hilly south west northern coast.
We'll be back as soon as possible.

Can barely see Fairmont Ridge with smoke from Doctor Creek fire - west Rocky Mountains north of Columbia Lake in British Columbia

Just love the pics. My return to MTB via my ebike has been temporarily halted due to a mixture of wet rocks and over enthusiasm which resulted in a fractured wrist so its good to be inspired by these pics which remind me what Im missing and what I have to look forward to again in a few weeks!
