Stunning February sunshine. A grand day out in the mud(borrowed someone’s catchphrase there🫢)

No threat of bears here, just the odd deer or moose. ..

...and then there was this large male grizzly that we cautiously rode by as we made our way along the Bow Valley Parkway outside of Banff.

...and then there are some that will allow you to get close up and personal to take selfies with.

I came across one of those today:

I wasn't supposed to be riding today ..but my 2.30 pm appointment got brought forward to 10.00am so as the sun was shining ..it would be rude not to..
A 40mph westerly threatened to spoil things and had I been riding a normal mtb might well have have thought stuff it as I was heading straight into the teeth of the Gale..but as it was a there and back ride I knew the return would be fantastic ..and so it turned out ..
As a bonus the bike behaved impeccably..with no repeat of the 500 error code that had me worried a couple of weeks back .
Bolts Law route ( there & back to the Rookhope road from Edmundbyers )

It's getting closer to the time when 8 bonny lads from N.E.England head to Torridon in N.W Scotland for a four day trip ..as mentioned previously you would be more than welcome to join us for a ride ( 10th to 14 th May ) ...
 
Riding with wife tomorrow. So yesterday went on a recce ride to see if I could get to one of our favourite rides which I'd tried to get to a couple of weeks ago but was defeated by silly thick mud churned up by forestry vehicles.

South Downs north of Chichester UK

Finally got there after trying many different no longer existing tracks shown on my obviously out of date Ordnance Survey 1:25K map app. Turned the corner and ... fook, looks like a massive celestial reaper has been at work! Nope, won't be doing this route tomorrow ...

Should manage a day . Keep in touch.
 
Wet out today but not horrendous. Few trees down but got past . Hardest part is lifting bike on to rack. Never noticed till I came back to van lot of beer tins and wet wipes , drunken Ebiker obsessed with cleaning or a bit more sinister mmm I wonder. Could find a better parking space than that for whatever was going on.

I was about to say that there must be something wrong as it started fkn raining again here and that rain usually passes the island first.

Due to the continuos rain I did only one quick tour last weekend….since Dec. 10. :poop:

Happening here more and more often that you have your favorit tours out in the woods / countryside and one day you come back and it became a plain.
