Lord Wardens, N Ireland recently.

Another muddy, cold and windy ride along some of North Downs finest. Hadn't ridden Wardens for a while and it was a bog. Despite the copious amounts of storm debris and downed trees it was a lot of fun and even with boost mode it was hard going in places. But as usual I was suitably fuelled beforehand.

Another grand day out indeed.

I thought I felt something in my wheel..

I'm sticking this up again from last week not because I think photography is my super power, far from it but my daughter points out this is very accidentally a good example of the rule of thirds. It is but eh?

My untrained eye says it looks awesome.
I use the same rule for apple pie 🥧, so three big servings.👍🏻

She's almost right, on the horizontal plane it is on the left hand third but it isn't sitting on one of the vertical thirds. Technically I think it's crap! 😉 only kidding.!
 
And now for something completely different. Working on a friend's bike that has screeching front brakes. I discover the front pads wore to the point that one leg of the spring slipped over the pad material & contacted the disc which instantly bent it over. You can see the witness mark in the pad. Check your brakes, folks,

Wow... :oops: .. No chain guard ?
The chain guide got broken off by the trousers. But earlier on his chain got jammed up and the guide was stopping him from getting it back on.
That's why I never have mine fitted and never will!
 
How-do me owld muckers😁 ..not been on here for a little while mainly because I havent ridden since a very wet & windy ride on the NYM ( North Yorks Moors ) in mid December which threw up more than a few maintenance issues and due to a very large dose of cantbearsedness I've only just got to the bottom of ( my thanks to Wayne @The EMF ) for his kind help) ..and a local bike shop for emptying my wallet of £75.00..
As the sun was shining today for a change I decided to venture out from the door for a strictly road ride on quiet lanes around my village..not something I usually lean towards but one of the issues I had was a Bosch error code ( 500) which mysteriously put itself right ..but being highly suspicious that the motor was trying to fool me I didn't want to test it in arse deep mud off-road ..
Had a pleasant 13miler and its good to be back .
Just one pic taking in the upper Tarset Valley and the South Eastern edges of Kielder Forest
