This is a good point though. Some KOMs here have been drastically quicker to the main pack due to obvious glitches in the tracking device. Not that we take this seriously! 😂
 
Ride round local lanes, amazing what you discover locally - guess what the first is?

Had to give myself a bit of a motivational speech this morning to get out of the door ..but the missus had already left and nobody else around to call the men in the white coats for a ride to the loony farm ..so eventually made it ..
It's been a good while since I started a ride from the door and as usual by the time I got back I chided myself for not doing so more often ...
I can get to the first bridleway within 5 mins of leaving the house ( Bellingham, Northumberland )
which would take me over a moorland stretch and into the Pundershaw section of Kielder Forest ..but sacrificed this for 2.5 miles of tarmac to get there a bit quicker ..

At first I thought; “Those are some of the coolest black & white photos I’ve seen”.

But then I realized you added some colour with photoshop. 👍🏻😉well done.

Its like winter has arrived! The trails were pretty slippery with the snow and trying to figure out where the roots and rocks were as a challenge.

Below the snow line the trails were wet but grippy if you avoided the diagonal roots.
