Welcome to winter

It was 17 degrees here last weekend! Spring can be just as slippery with all the rocks, roots and structures covered in a thin layer of green slime or moss. As far as roots go, wet, diagonal or steep - pick two and you will be ok (probably). We don't call it winter until the rain doesn't stop at the bottom of the mountain and the trails are covered in snow at mid mountain
Know what you mean we went through a root garden last week haha respect. You get real snow over there I've had some great skiing holidays at Whistler .It was 17 degrees here last weekend!

I hope so, but he's from Vancouver so I thought he might be working in Fahrenheit. And its Vancouver! And the post was about Winter.
But he was stating it as a high temperature ..as it being reasonably high for the time of year ..that apart its hardly in the Arctic circle ..and shares the same seasons as this country ..
Here's Bracklesham Bay on the Solent, about 10 miles from us.Here's where the riding conditions are at round here. For non weather nerds, standard pressure is 1013 hpa

The glass is doon we used to say.
I can “bear” witness to @KnollyBro ‘s claim that the weather temperature was 17 degrees at a certain point of the day. I remember it well …it was sunny
Numbers can be confusing in this country.
After I managed to overcome my weaker self I was lucky yesterday and had a great tour before the heavy storm arrived last night.
Nice scenery with the leaves on the ground but tricky as hiding slippery stones, roots and fallen branches.
Thanks to the rangers that cleared the trail
Beautifull place to rest

You need to buy a new air pressure gauge because the pressure is below the scaleHere's where the riding conditions are at round here. For non weather nerds, standard pressure is 1013 hpa

We had a near record low pressure today, somewhere near 950hpa.You need to buy a new air pressure gauge because the pressure is below the scale
Spotted a lesser known Corten Fox the other day.... Just behind a huge Scottish Whisky bond a mile or so from my house.
Needs charging up, look for the USB port on the back.Here's where the riding conditions are at round here. For non weather nerds, standard pressure is 1013 hpa

Maybe you did knock to hard on the glas?
That is an almost perfect picture

I’ve been off the bike for 3 months due to an injury and surgery. I finally rode again about 2 weeks ago. Here are some pics from my last few rides. The pics are mostly of my bike; I clearly love this thing. Arizona has incredible riding near the city for quick rides, plus places like Sedona, Flagstaff and Prescott. The weather is perfect. It is gonna be a good riding season.

Did the loop around lake laurentian today, it was -4 when we started and +5 when we finished. Lots of icy spots on the trail and the lake had a good crust in the morning.
Gertrude the 10 year old black lab was a fu#*ing champ today! She kept up without issues and had a blast.

Contin yesterday bit wet but plenty to explore here may need a guide. Ended up on the Strathpuffer. Today had a paddle then took the bike back to get the van via Lochinver . Halloween party as well tonight . What a difference a day makes .

Apart from the cactus, the landscape looks identical to where I used to live and ride in Central Australia.
Yesterday's ride out of Traquair , Scottish Borders...with Alan, Wayne & Ant..
The ride was a mix of Southern Upland Way, Innerleithen Red Route & Minch Moor Road .
Unfortunately not to long into the ride Alan developed a problem with his brakes ..as in he had none !..
A trail side attempted fettle couldnt rectify the problem ..and after agreeing to meet up again further into the ride he rode back to a bike shop in Innerleithen ..but the temporary fix was very short lived and he unfortunately had to admit defeat
We were sorry to see him go but we will catch up again soon .
The first few pics are mine ..mainly on the first section of the Inners Red climb to the top of Minch Moor featuring Ant & Wayne ..
The Three Bretheren cairns on the Southern Upland Way ..one of which had gone on its lunch break
These pics borrowed from Wayne ..with Ant & myself

Another great day out with the lads

I thought you were on vacation as Innerleithen sounds like in Austria!
Including the guy behind the camera and the lost one I wish you many more tours like this. Thanks a lot of sharing and lightening this rainy Sunday.
