Pic of the Day

Went out to find Conkers...... Mission complete 😎

Lost 90% of my ride footage but got the job done.

Conkers apparently ward off Spiders !!

I'm working out where to get the best colours this year. Glen Affric gets mention by the forestry commision . Hill walk or cycle round Glen Affric one day . And a paddle round the Loch Affric islands the next day. Plus a bonus night on my own in the camper with nobody saying your not having another whisky are you.
Have you died and gone to heaven? 😂😂

Living in old 1635ish building I got to say its myth, spiders seem to not be bothered by them.

Now we have a couple of these guys though, although my cat seems to be doing his best in keeping the grey squirrel population down locally.

Quick easy ride out today, intended to keep it clean / road miles today but that didn't last.

Chap was very friendly and had a good chat about the bikes.

Good morning out albeit a bit of a chilled ride.
 
Summer continues here in Vancouver with temperatures hitting 25 degrees with barely any rain for months. The conditions remain super dry and lose which is the best way to piss off @Crash Logan when it comes to riding new trails. We saw this trail (Mow It Down) on Trailforks on Burke Mtn. and thought it sounded interesting. It did have several unique features on it but very little flow!

Something bit different. One of my riding crew was burgled last night & had two high end bikes stolen. A dark green 2021 Spesh Levo SL & a 2021 dark red Spesh Epic from their house in Worthing. Grateful to Sussex people here who see these anywhere around or for sale online.

Horrible that. Two lads looking at me on my bike yesterday I did think why they were looking definitely not cycle types , paranoia setting in . Dare I say not much thieving in my area , small town probably hard to sell on .
 
Conditions are dry…too dry. There’s no sticktion on the trails and the weather is hot (28*), for us.
This was the view at the end of my street last week. Then another fire started on Burke Mountian a few days ago.

Not the epic views that I see on here sometimes …but @KnollyBro might know this trail. Smokey in the valley.

Hey, were you guys camped out by the gun club (Burke/Harper Rd.)for a few days? I saw a couple of Knolly’s hanging on a camper but they weren’t eMTB’s.

I agree wholeheartedly with you! Terrible ride yesterday even on one of my favorite trails, Red R..so sketchy right now! Never thought I would be saying “I miss the rain” 😑

Wasn’t us. 😉 We rode Burke yesterday but just drove in for a few hours.
 
After a day of frustration riding with @Crash Logan on our dry trails, we took an opportunity to ride around our area and lean my bike against some of our iconic landscapes.
