I rode my wife’s Turbo Levo SL today instead of my EXe; the Levo SL needed some love. Pics below at Hawes in Mesa, AZ.

Tequipas trail in the Santa Ynez Valley Mountains of CA USA. 180 deg view at the peak, looking to the right is Cachuma Lake, to the left, the Pacific Ocean overlooking Santa Barbara. Its a short 8mi loop, 2300ft up If you are fast, 13min or less down. Rode with my 2 analog bikers so had a chance for some pics.

the ends look like rose hips, bigger fruit than what we would see in western Canada, we make rose hip jelly from ours and rose hip tea but a lot of work for what you get

Yes you could be right. I will be looking at the plants in spring and summer to see the leafs etc. Seen a recipe for rosehip gin . I would need to buy jars for making it and probably 2ltrs gin just want to make sure before I poison myself.

Loads of great random pictures of folks bikes leant on stuff or just great scenery.

Is there a place for "Picture of the Day"
Can be your e-bike or the great terrain you have ridden.
Only stipulation, it has to be recent.

Might not be everyones cup of tea, but I love the places I ride.

Can I kick off with this evenings "daily exercise" run in beautiful Bilsdale, North Yorkshire,UKView attachment 28181

Apologies if this has been done before and died.

Edit: Oh and can we keep it to pictures (preferably one or two), and not degenerate into chat about what mudgaurd / tyre/ cable end , or whatever?

Juniper? I don‘t think so. Would be perfect choice for gin. If you open one it will look like this, at least good for tea!

View attachment 128966 I could leave them frozen till spring or summer . Then could probably identify it with the leaves on the bushes by then. Not giving up yet. An hour of my life picking berries i will never get back.

Great photo but something doesn’t add up! How did you get your bike to a location like that in the Lake District without a single splash of mud or sprinkling of dust? Even the tyres look brand new!

So my guess is this was your first outing on the new bike after the Hope bling conversion, car park is literally just out of sight 50yds to the left, and you found the perfect backdrop to get the camera out 😀

No it was about the 5th ride out after the Hope parts were applied just wanted a Langdale pike backdrop in the photo to keep for myself but decided to post on here as I thought it might appeal to fellow mountain bikers, I love to ride my bike in all conditions but love cleaning it well too

Keep posting. You’re bound to get a a few ribs poked when posting a perfect photo like that, especially as now we’re in Autumn, almost winter, and seeing a shiny bike in perfect condition is a rarity 👍🏽

Nice background 👍 I've been around there last year. Going to the lakes next week for two days and we have skidda and what I considered to be my most enjoyable ride in the lakes is the loop around coniston.

It’s fine I like a bit banter myself, just I have to defend now & again if I’m right

I think that when you are relatively new to the forum it's very easy to become too defensive ..from what I've read the comments which have offended you really were meant in a light-hearted manner..truth be told most of us like to start out on a clean bike .
Cracking pic by the way but although you gave its location I'm struggling to find it on a map ..is it near Loughrigg Tce..?
Do you ride solo most of the time ..or do a bit of group riding ?
There is quite a healthy collection of riders who meet up on a fairly regular basis from all across the North East & beyond ( 5 of us in Northumberland ) ...you would be more than welcome to join us on a ride whenever it suits you ( by way of showing that we are a friendly bunch ) 😉

It is, simmer! Let's not get off on the wrong foot pal, there's a bit of leg pulling on here most days, please don't take it the wrong way. 👍
