Another photo from Russia, a bit of Ural skating.
First decent ride for a while as been recovering from a non-biking injury. 31km, 1,100m of elevation gained on forest / gravel track and some stunning scenery. Also tried Shox Open Run and they were excellent as I was on my own so some nice background music.

Had to Google Shox. I have had a pair of Aftershokz for many years spot on for the bike.
Just watching farmers forecast we are getting another decent week of weather. So need to make a plan. I had a traverse planned with a walking club today. I was Ebikeing through Cairngorms. Getting dropped off by bus at Linn of Dee and cycling back to car at Aviemore. Everyone else was walking a high up route and forecast 70 mph so it was called off. Snow on tops yesterday.
The wonderfully autumn weather returned.
Riding on the rocks by the sea.
I left my emtb at home.

Another trip to Glenlivet with Drummond. Beginning to think that this is as good as Tarland. More spread out nothing too technical a few wee jumps . But mostly singletrack , there are some off piste rooty tracks as well. Couple of laps of red is 28 miles 4000ft climbing at least thats about the limit of my 700 battery. . Quite narrow so get a good speed up it needs concentration.
I was impressed with the place in 2016 ( my only visit ) ..and it's expanded & improved quite a bit since then ..( so I'm told ) .
Ew gross. Meat Power.
Yes met a couple lads from Israel on hire bikes so very cosmopolitan nowadays. Get a fair workout even on a ebike i was tired last night. Cafe and bike hire open all week 10 till 4 closed in winter after the tattie holidays I presume. Zip wire. Camper van parking 12 quid a night. Toilet is open all year 24/7 . Worth a detour if anyone was in area. I'm trying to remember when it opened 10 years anyway I'm thinking. 2013 I just read.
Need a few drams and a lift home after that. Expensive night. 11 speed I could have sent you enough broken ones to make one .

Luckily, the mech wasn't on my bike, just the cassette but they both happened in the same bit of woods.
I got a pedal in the shin yesterday last 10 metres of trail . Remember why we called them bear trap pedals now.
The day got away from me today. Woke up late, and every single thing I did took longer or went wrong, requiring yet more time to sort it out. Decided not to put the bike on the car, but to ride locally instead. That should catch me up. It is a route I first did twenty years ago when I got my first mtb. Actually, it wasn't an mtb, I just thought it was. It was actually a cruiser bike. Bloody great heavy thing (19.5kg), but hey, it had wide tyres (26x 1.95), 3x7 gears, and 50mm of front suspension!!!!! I absolutely loved that bike. One morning I just went out on the bike, without a map, and just followed my nose. The route I found all those years ago is the one I did this morning.

That was him pulling over for me. He had been doing the side of the Hawthorne hedge and he had been completely blocking the way. I just had to wait. While I was waiting, I spotted two Hawthorne spikes in my front tyre. By the time I had got them out and got my camera ready, he had pulled over.

Which way now? There are actually six signs there, the last one is another Viking Way hidden by the one you can see. I took the uphill stony one (Viking Way).

Right on top of the hill, this monstrosity can be seen for miles and miles. If you estimate the door at the base as 2m tall, then you can begin to assess how tall the structure is.

This is a brick bridge built in 1815 over the River Witham. It is just outside the village of Marston in the UK. It is no longer used for vehicles. You can see why if you zoom in on to the parapet. Those beautiful Willow trees on the edge of the Witham are in some lucky person's garden.
Not a challenging ride in any way, but very enjoyable in the lovely weather.

Most of this is scar tissue.
Just south east of the Grand Canyon!!
Pffff …if it wasn’t for all the scar tissue on my shins I’d probably almost be back to normal.That's why I always wear football shin pads. Also I'm a wimp
Your right there I have a pair in shed so there is no excuse. Not much flesh on the shin either ,even less now.That's why I always wear football shin pads. Also I'm a wimp
I resemble that remark.
