That way up the hill looks like a reaaaaal challenge! Respect!
I didn't fancy the 5 hour drive or the cost . Mega bus for me £1 sleeping in Corrie villagehall £ 10 a night not that im greedy yiken.. Someone will have a bike to borrow 25 are going. I've never been before so looking forward to it.
Other side was more technical I should have took pictures. Its a popular walking route so has loads of step sections. You just traverse over the heather at a easier angle. Snow was a surprise.That way up the hill looks like a reaaaaal challenge! Respect!

Grateful to have the time to sneak in a ride in Southern Colorado before a storm!
Mate of mine just sent me pics of the snow he's at Steamboat Springs I think he said. Real snow that

Bangor, N Ireland quite recently.
Another very enjoyable but wet and slippery pootle around my local trails. Everytime I ride my bike I realise how much I love getting out and how important it is to me.
Top Tip # 1 - if anyone is using Marzocchi Z2s I strongly recommend checking the lowers for oil and adding O rings. I have never touched forks until yesterday when I took the headstaggers and serviced my Z2. Very straightforward and fitting O rings was a cinch. Bit surprised at lack of oil in lowers but adding 10 ml, O rings and a slap of Honey Butter has totally transformed the forks.
Top Tip #2 - when following your chum across a muddy, slippy, wet and smelly ditch, keep a sensible distance between him and you.
Another grand day out and as usual preparation is key.

A lesser rider might have ended up arse over tit. I now identify as a lesser rider.

Birthday ride on Slickrock.
Happy birthday!
Slickrock trail! I was there 2011 during vacation and rode a rental bike. Amazing grip on those rocks, like grinding paper. I think I drank about a gallon on that trail and met a nice guy whom I helped fixing a flat tire.

The best thing that happened to me in my life. My son Milan. He won't be a hockey player like his father, but he already loves bicycles. 4 years and his third bike in a row. Custom 20" from Slovakia, hydraulic brakes, 10" derailleur and air fork.

We’ve got these ‘calming’ barriers here as wellAnyone ever ride their bike on those Cycle routes that incorporate those stupid choke points? one side is for bicycles and next to it is like a jump for horses to go across... bars too wide to ride through them .....
I went through about 6 of them today...

Went up this hill for the view, that Viaduct I guess was at one point for trains but now it's just part of a cycle route

Small lake but kinda scenic and nice

Was basically a touring style ride, but some of it was proper trail like, mostly just dusty cycle paths though.
37.3miles and still had 31% batter when I got back home :O kinda crazy, 750watt battery and Bosch CX in tour+ mostly but I did around 5 miles in EMTB/Turbo when it was a bit of a climb.
Mostly boring and flat

I actually fell off at one point and scotched the top tube of my bike a bitthere was a steep hill heading down with 2 stupid posts either side of the narrow muddy path, then a stupid metal fence with a gap about as wide as a house door.. and you know what these 780mm wide bars do when you try and ride through... I was holding the brakes then did a benny hill fall to the side going about 1mph, couldn't put my damn feet down.. probably should have lowered the seat for the descent...
how some cycle routes are designed is just ridiculous. I'm talking proper cycle routes with signs telling you the destination as well... why incorporate so much anti cyclist crap on them?
Sinking to new lows and bored everyone in the Levo SL Gen2 thread...
Can't beat @etoni for stunning out of this world location shots ..... FAKE IT !
Don't have a chance of blending culture, decent pictures and classic locations and beating @RustyMTB or @Tonybro .. FAKE IT !
Can't even imagine Bling like @VWsurfbum .. FAKE IT !!

A casual explore around burry port.
Coincidentally @VWsurfbum where should I add more red to my bike (imagine it was purple)
Oh and before it gets mentioned, I have just cleaned it, don't worry I have been getting it muddy

Kicked my own ass today. Managed to ride a lot further than I intended and made it home with a bar to spare and no go juice in my tank.
I earned this beer. And the one that followed.

Two beers were obviously one too many for your doggie ..Kicked my own ass today. Managed to ride a lot further than I intended and made it home with a bar to spare and no go juice in my tank.

HUSH PUPPIES!
Haven’t thought of those in years. They’re DogMocs and seem to work well here in the desert.
But, damn, now I gotta call em Hush Puppies.
Is that another spy ballon in pic #3?
Probably checking out the new technology on your Trek.
