Pic of the Day

[Mcharza]

Second day here in Bike Republic Sölden.
Today was very warm day, even up in the mountains.

 

[Bike Barn AZ]

Levo Expert Size S1. Who else thinks this looks like a DJ?

 

[Just gan]

Torridon part one. Hopefully biking tomorrow is as good as today .

Nice ride alone today because wife's away with her pals in Honfleur to see the Bayeux Tapestries and Normandy beaches, and go shopping of course

Tracks are getting quite overgrown concealing a lot of barbed wire side fencing so if going to fall off must remember to bail out on the other side.

Finally a view of the Eastern Solent, the Isle of Wight, and Portsmouth in the distance.

We shuttled up to 9,200 feet among the sequoias in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and dropped down into a distant glacier-carved river valley far below. I assumed it would be an intermediate level trail, and the "black" rating was due to the remote wilderness. That wasn't the case. The black rating was well deserved. Sure, there was a lot of flow singletrack and grassy meadows. But some of the climbing was quite grueling, and the downhill was treacherous with serious exposure. It was Pho King GREAT!

Zimmerframe has been digging holes in his back garden again and happened upon this ..

Apparently worth $92 billion ..
Got any spare change guv..?

 

[Stihldog]

Work has finally begun on the damaged fire roads, culverts and bridges in our area, after the attmospheric-river last October.

Lots of red-tape and hoops before this day finally arrived. Soon there will be better access to trails.

Tea Hut loop Torridon dry and plenty Midge . Lot of knarly bits going down to Ashnashellach so walked a lot I could have ridden. Funny how I think more about the consequences as I get older. Seen the Famous Five names in the bothy book , Hodge and his muckers. Aye lads as we turned left we could see the route you would have took , not for me . I walked it many years ago that was bad enough.

 

[Mcharza]

Moved to Leogang. It's all about downhill here and you see a lot of DH bikes.
YT Mob guys are also here signing autographs.

Findlater castle today for a shifty. Preparing for filming The Odyssey . They repaired the track so managed to cycle the few dodgy bits. Boats in Buckie be interesting to see them sail over to Findlater 8 miles away.

if you're on about the box with sockets and cables it's for lights when filming.

Filthy bike . I got mine dirty a couple weeks ago I was not happy. Only takes about a mile of wet muddy ground to do that.

You local? I'm just up the road near Kinross, mate that I'm going in there tomorrow with is from Dunfermline. He just bought an Amflow a couple of months or so ago, makes my Levo SL puff and pech a bit not to mention me as well.

Epic ride today through the trails of Ravna Gora and a scenic loop around Trakošćan Castle!
Perfect mix of forest flow, fresh mountain air, and stunning lake views. Croatia really knows how to spoil mountain bikers!

Dunfermline. Was there on Tuesday and Thursday. Before the rain. Was ok then. But, now, not so sure. I've only had the Amflow a few days, but liking it so far.

Aye it turns back into primordial swamp pretty quick nowadays. Been riding the trails in there for 30 odd years, I'm no a youngster nae mair. Need tae avoid the swampy bits the morra. Might bump into ye in there some day. My mate loves his Amflow, we had a wee trip up to Boat of Garten to pick it up with a couple of days riding in Cairngorms. One of our other riding mates has a Specialized Levo SL Carbon like mine.
