Lovely day for a bike ride.

Cloudy, damp and cool (50-60F) "winter-time" on the coast in So. Calif. this week, so we headed to the Anza Borrego Desert State Park for some sun and warmer temps (70-80F). Fun times playing in the arroyos and narrow side canyons.

Great footage! Did you use a drone to take the pics, or a riding partner?

What no snow?. Boring?. It must be so hard to motivate yourself to go riding when it’s 70-80F. ??. Looks fantastic. ??
 
Post Snow here too .... No snow means unlimited grip right ?? So you can go as fast as you like ???

Messed up my line coming in though ... so the Kenevo ended up in one of it's usual poses ... Fortunately some nice springy trees caught it mid exit and their friends were nice enough to leave me alone and let me safely fall to the bottom unhindered .

I think I see what happened here. You were going way-too-fast therefore you’re an inspiration to me and others. ???

Ambition and ability. Strangely they are two different words with two different meanings. ?
 
The thaw has started in my part of Scotland, the biggest problem was getting the front end to stick the snow would breakout below it causing violent highside sometimes developing into full on fishtailing, trying to stay on was giggletastic fun , snow was to deep and soft to run eco so finding grip in trail mode had its challenges, bring back the frost ?or summer would be nice?

What's this post snow you speak of ..
True the weather is set to get a lot milder next week..but I had the same thoughts as Kilham ..its probably the last day ( for a little while at least ) to go out riding in it ..
Please forgive me as I have been a little self indulgent with regard to the quantity of pics ...
Another local ride ( never more than 5 miles from home a.t.c.f.) in Pundershaw area of Kielder Forest & over Shitlington Common ( snigger ) to return ..

There is nothing too exciting about this next pic ..until you zoom in on the track that veers to the left and see Mr.Fox .
I watched him for a good couple of mins as he was totally unaware of my presence..

I can't believe you got your chopper out in these conditions !

@TH, great transmission from the Pundershaw Forest!

I think Mr.Fox was well aware of your presence, but he was acting cool in front of Ms.Foxy Cleopatra, saying: “check me! these motorised humanoids have nothing on me!”
