Pic of the Day

[Powerslider]

Couple more from today at Hawes trail system. Bottom picture is the beginning of a DH jump trail called Dirt Therapy. Opens with a tabletop into a right hander with some exposure. The traverse on the right is (dark) blue climb, Cactus Nectar that has exposure the whole way.
The top pic is Iron Goat and has some steepish switchbacks in that pic I promise.

Got out amongst it while there was no snow (as it’s mid summer).
Actually it was almost too warm for a ride, but I braved it and had a great time.

Then caught a spectacular sunset later in the day.

Almost too warm we could handle some of that over here. Remember to drink plenty liquids now.

Must’ve had four bottles of water in two hours.
Then of course the obligatory beers when I got home.

Finally snow

Got a little more than 9 miles (14.5km) in at Phoenix Mountain Preserve this afternoon. This is looking at Chunky Monkey trail. There’s actually a chance of rain here the next couple of days, but it was perfect today at 72° (22°C) and mostly clear.

New Forest on a cold winters day, 22 mile ride, sunset was a fitting end to a great chilled out ride.

Beautiful, crisp morning on Dartmoor. Perfect ride; with everything frozen, the bike stayed pristine!

The pogies look the business are they warm ? . What's on back of bike ?

Second visit of the week to Surrey Hills, this time I took the gopro, see other thread) nice little loop with a mates brother in law who's just got a eeb. Perfect conditions, if a little cold. 2' outside the pub at the end.

They are bloody brilliant in this weather. This is my second season with them and I wouldn't do winter without, now. I was wearing a pair of Briskers underneath, to keep my fingers toasty, and they work so well in combination. Briskers on their own would have meant cold, painful fingers today, in sub-zero temps, but not with the poggies! The bike has bikepacking kit all over, a rear fat rack from Aeroe and a mudguard from SKS (though that's being replaced soon, as it simply doesn't keep my clean and dry in filthy conditions). I highly recommend the Aeroe kit, which I've been using for a few years now, on different bikes, it's just brilliant on eMTBs.

I use pogies on sea kayak and rivers always warmer than gloves.

NYE mudder, should take care of a couple of hundred calories before a few thousand go in.

When it’s 115° (46°C) in the summer people ask how I can live in Arizona, but then there’s scenes like this…

Wife and I were going to ride this morning but I hadn't charged the bikes. So it'll be tomorrow with the same mucky result. Yuk.

Happy New Year. Hopefully it’ll last the year.
