I thought turtles were always in the water and tortoises on land.. Every day a school day
I'm no phlembotomist, so I can't be sure...

Yeah me too..initial thought was that it sounds like something you spit / or shit out ..but I've never eaten a tortoise so probably not ...I will have to google Phlembotmist now cheers for that
Edit : turns out that its a professional / medical person ..or being a vampire ..disguised as someone who draws blood ..

Out on the NY Moors; nice single track from Clay Bank to Carlton Bank and on to Snotterdale then some easy sightseeing across the top to Laskill. Returning via the top to the very steep Trennet descent - always an interesting drop but easier in this dry weather.

Tarland Trails yesterday... a bit foggy in the morning, but turned out to be a lovely day. 27.4 miles, 5800ft climbing... and today, my body feels like it's been hit by a bus! Muscles I didn't know I had are aching 
7 am start - no one else in the car park. I didn't see another human until about 8.30am when I went back to the car to swap over my Range Extender and have a snack. Maybe 4 or 5 cars at that point. Even when I finished up at about 11.30, there were only 15 cars. A big difference to last time I was there, where people were having to park offsite as the car park was full!
Up to the top, and the blue sky was visible. It gradually crept up to about 22°C, which was just fine.

That's a decent ride!

How much does your LSL2 weigh?
I was at it for 4 and a half hours… and ended up coming down the last run sitting gliding as I was so exhausted!That's a decent ride!

How much does your LSL2 weigh?
Normally it’s just my legs… but today it’s abs, arms, shoulders, neck. A good workout!!
Bike is a fraction over 17kgs at the moment. I reckon if I took off my Garmin mount (front and rear) it’d be under 17kgs!
Levo SL 1.2 2023 - from the frame up!
I'll start the thread with a picture... and then explain what I've done!! This is a thread detailing my build so far of my new Levo SL. I’d class it as my dream build, as it’s been built using the components I want, without considering the cost of the parts… so no holding back. I’ve...

Thanks! It’s a Jaguar F-Pace SVR.
Me?! I only had a full fate (Trek Rail 9.9) for about 2 weeks and thought it had too much lower. Swapped it for a 2019 SL, and couldn’t be happier. I then swapped it for the 2023 model a couple of months ago. I ride it in my own Eco setting of 15/45 so I’m still putting a decent shift in. I can get about 40 miles on that setting without the Range Extender.

Cheers for that, good to know, looks like it’s a contender based on those figures
I had an interesting day yesterday. Took the train to Ribblehead for an easy ride round Cam Fell
Then everything went pear shaped. My buddy’s chain jumped off, then we tried a short cut and met Mr Grumpy and his angry son who made turn round. Then I got a call about a family emergency and had to sprint back to make the next train, which had no room for the bikes. I got on and left my mate with both bikes to wait 2 1/2 hours for the next train
It all worked out in the end, except for the M-in-L who was finally admitted at 03.00
