Language skills are impressive in here for sure. But can anyone speak and understand “Mumble”?…anyone?
I can eat in several different languages, but I’m still perfecting Kraft Dinner. (a skill I acquired during college).

My life’s work is complete. I will die a happy man . But if I’m now a Geordie , does that mean I have to take my shirt off if I go to a football game in February?Quite impressive Bill..

Guilty every Saturday at that ,speaking and posting rubbish on here.I can and regularly do talk bollocks, does that count for anything
Don't biteWho me ?....Nah ..I'm pure pussy cat ..which is why I haven't told Irie to Fk.off
Yeah ..afraid so and you'll have to get " MAGS" tattooed across your belly for the full experience ..
I actually know a Geordie who tattooed himself on his knuckles with the name of his then girlfriend MAGS. It was in black ink and scratched in with a pin. It looked awful. We were on the same apprentice course back in the late 60's. I don't know what happened to her as Geordie boy and I went our separate ways after a couple of years. I liked him and often wondered what happened to him, but I left the city of my birth and never looked back.

Great day out today with my old muccka Jaco ..who I've been riding with for nigh on 20years ..
One of the elder statesmen of the group ..but you wouldn't think so to look at him ..and could still whup all of our little collective up a hill..
Having had the nod ..we headed to Kielder and great credit to Forestry England for the work they have done since Storm Eowyn in terms of clearing fallen trees the "new" sections on Lonesome Pine are open Inc.Skydive ..but the final Bewshaugh drop is still officially closed while they are still felling trees
.
Deadwater ..fully open ..and the first section of the Osprey Trail which follows the Forest Drive ..but be aware that the Osprey Chick section is or should be by now ...closed due to lots of fallen trees across the trail ( we found out the hard way as there was no closure sign on this section ..but reported it at the hire centre) .
We also paid a visit to the newly opened( today) Team Cycles shop & hire centre ..very impressive which has been re-arranged in terms of layout with no expense spared ..got to see the workshop ..which has Park Tools everything ..a motorised bike stand and a top of the range parts cleaner ..the staff kitchen is better than mine at home ..and it also has a shower room !
However by far the most impressive thing was the futuristic coffee machine which dispensed one of the nicest Latte's I've ever had
Anyway ..some pics ..
A real shame that Wayne & Ant couldn't make it today ..the former due to illness ..the latter due to domestic duties ..but hopefully we'll get together next week ..
Cheers again to "The Don" Jaconelli ..Scicillian hit man extraordinaire

Very nice area! 
On my local trails they did end of last year the same „improvements“ like this to some of the tracks. Looks nice and runs smooth but I prefer it „basic“(?) and less accurate. No doubt, it soln will turn back to more „natural“ trail.

There is a good reason for that ..Very nice area!
The trails on these sections were "basic" ..indeed rough as a badgers arse in places ..and the first pics were on a trail which had basically been closed since Storm Arwen ...with very little chance of it being re-opened ..the same could be said for the very last section ( Bewshaugh ).
Forestry England played an absolute blinder in terms of securing funding ( £150k)from Northumberland County Council ..on the proviso that the trail(s) were accessible to all ..which meant that they were widened more than previously to accommodate adaptive bikes .
While the trails are smooth they do have some quite savage berms / jumps etc and as you have alluded to they will bed in ( deteriorate over time ) ..
Faced with a few miles of trail never seeing the light of day again ..or what has been created I'm delighted with the outcome
Down here (West Sussex/Hampshire) Forestry England are also generally very good at keeping trails and Bridleways properly maintained, the local authorities less so.There is a good reason for that ..

Yes but it doesn't really rain down there does it . Someone goes out once a week with a sweeping brush and a cloth to dry up any moisture .
I have a son living in Aberdeen and a daughter living near Stirling. I do get reports.Yes but it doesn't really rain down there does it . Someone goes out once a week with a sweeping brush and a cloth to dry up any moisture .
Eberdoom I know it well. Started work there at 15 as a apprentice trawlerman. 1970. Some place then 50 miles from me.I have a son living in Aberdeen and a daughter living near Stirling. I do get reports.
Not much for views here but I thought I’d go for a winter ride before the 25% Tariff was imposed on our weather …
…but he doesn’t realize that Canada
controls the weather.
Moahahaha

When I lived in Courtenay BC, Vancouver Island (most of my life), we had an annual race there called “Snow-To-Surf”.
DH Ski, Cross Country Ski, Mountain Bike, Road Bike, Half Marathon, Canoe, and finally a swim.
There was always a big party at the end of the race in Comox, BC. Good times
Yeah but we have bog snorkelling!

I wouldn't have posted that pic ..you look to have waaay more than your fair share of the white stuff..
If Plump sees that it could go to a 50% tariff..and Mexico could get the wrong idea as to what that white powder really is ..the whole world economy is teetering on the brink ..

Yeah
, now that I think about it,…ended kinda early, 1:00 pm.A mass start at 8:00am by numerous teams stating high on Mount Washington ski hill. I think 7 athletes per team. Some pro teams from as far away as Australia. I did the road bike portion one year.
If you could still walk straight, you could play a round of golf in the afternoon.
We liked the social and reunion festivities after the race instead.
