This is in Italy yeah?

 

[MrSimmo]

Was a great shot until my mate photobombed it

 

[etoni]

ride epic.

 

[JonnyManc]

Great ride around Ennerdale Water (in the Lake District) today....

Not techy, but a nice 16 Mike spin with a water crossing (not too deep.... But deep enough to make me nervous).
Weather just about held up.....

 

[Jackware]

Blimey that water crossing looks a serious undertaking

 

[Mcharza]

This is in Italy yeah?

Yes, it's in Italy. The village altitude is over 1800m

 

[Mcharza]

Even though I'm back in Switzerland, I can't get close to @etoni photos. This time in Lenzerheide

 

[RustyMTB]

Another loop around the downs. The trails are now so overgrown that I'm going out of my way to avoid some of the best narrow singletrack stuff because it's like a fist fight with Freddie Kreuger. Brambles & nettles are savage this year.

 

[Jcolborn48]

Easier than carrying my bike down through the small canyon

 

[The Hodge]

Oh boy ..so I've got to follow 2 sets of Swiss Pics ..but hey even though those locations are truly stunning in a different kind of way so are the grassy hills close to home which are still pretty much a mountain biking secret even to the folks in the North East of England ..The Cheviots ...and that's pretty much the way we like it
Todays ride crossed over the border into Scotland in the company of Ant , Richy & Wayne ..meeting up with Colin a little later in the ride on the Border Ridge .
Yesterday absolutely tipped it down but apart from a brief but very heavy shower half way around ..the wind was the main player today gusting up to 40mph ..and at times making it difficult to stay on the track ..
Some pics
Left to Right : Ant ,Richy & Wayne

The first climb from Rowhope

Ant on the slabs on the Border Ridge ...

Richy looking slightly nithered in the strong wind ..Wayne not giving a flying fk..

Heading into tartan country having met up with Colin

Richy & Ant ..giving it some on " The Street "

Colin ..the blue sky giving lie to the fact that 10mins earlier it was totally pouring down

Wayne ..taking in the scenery

Ant & Colin on Black Braes ..a drop down only surpassed by the very last descent down to the road at Slymefoot ..which nobody will stop to take a pic of as its just such a
buzz..
( you will need to zoom in ..but left as taken to show scale )

Another epic ride ..thanks to my mates for making it so .
Cheers also to Colin for standing the beers in the Rose & Thistle

What a brilliant road trip

Yes, it's in Italy. The village altitude is over 1800m

 

[Zimmerframe]

Oh boy ..so I've got to follow 2 sets of Swiss Pics

I think that was the least of your problems.

You had to compete with :

Swiss Photo's

Jesus ! Who apparently now lives in Cumbria and rides a Whyte EMTB.

More Swiss Photo's

The Elmstreet Cage Fighter

And Superman ! Who probably has a top cap inscribed with "Tyre Pressure Doesn't Matter when you're Airborne"

 

[Tonybro]

Quick test yesterday to see if could ride the rough stuff in my current condition (catheterised!). Working with the health team, we came up with a solution that would allow me to ride but would it be comfortable?

Answer: Comfortable enough!

It was a ride up and around Rivington and Belmont. Up to the Pigeon Tower, then up the Pike, then up Winter Hill and down 'San Marino' - that definitely tests how comfortable things are. about a mile downhill of ruts, stones, small drops and general discomfort!

Only did 11 miles as the wind was giving it a good blow and the weather wasn't great (until I stopped of course). 1800ft and 930kCals.

It's good to be back on a bike!

 

[The Hodge]

Good to hear Tony
Loving the "face" of that building ..

Sounds like they're taking the piss to be honest ....

Usually do this run at least once a week . Pleasant surprise today they are filming at Cullen ( the shed on Tour BBC 2 ) never seen the Star but most UK folk love him .Friends got a pic with him yesterday. Remember the bar scene in Only fools and horses .

C'mon @etoni, can't you do better than that!

 

[Kostya_1975]

Local Competitions in the enduro format, category e-bike

 

[Slymobi]

Out and about with my lad today, building confidence on his new bike and progressing well.
His 1st ever down slope conquered

Coasting whilst upright

One hander

He has a bad experience history on bikes so it has taken a lot of courage to get back on one ( about 6/7 years lol ) so it's like learning from scratch again but he is doing fantastic. Very proud dad here

 

[etoni]

C'mon @etoni, can't you do better than that!

..demonstrate

 

[Mcharza]

Jump ahead...didn't jump that
Gotcha freeride trail Klosters Switzerland

 

[Just gan]

Bringing me back there , skied there 1999 I think . It was the start of a long line of solo ski holidays for me . Took wife to Zermat a couple years before that, it was too cold she said go your self next time.
