That looks amazing @MOG I'd loved to spend a week or two riding in Wales.

I'd happliy host a weekend of camping here on my farm in the middle of the Black Mountains with some tours of the best emtb rides if there was enough interest.

I love this thread to see all the different and very varied places that people ride in. I used to love hiking in the Black Mountains when I lived in the UK. A very beautiful area and I'm sure you'd get a lot of people to take up your offer!

The midgerigars arent quite as severe as the Scottish ( NW Highlands ) strain ..but they come a close second ..

"midgerigars" I absolutely love that term!

I will be using that where appropriate.

Now then ... Here's one you won't see too often. Last Friday my partner and I rode up to Minch Moor at Innerleithen, got ourselves married at the Cairn stones, then jumped back on the bikes and descended down the red trail, Angry Sheep, Cresta Run etc before hitting the Golfie

Still waiting for the official photos, and they'll be a YouTube vlog of the day released soon from a well known veteran of the mountain biking community

Fantastic! All the best!

Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile!

Way to go Steve and Lou. Many congratulations and good luck on the trial ahead.

 

[billwarwick]

Another milestone for the trusty Bosch gen 4. Still no issues or maintenance done. Onward to 10k. If you want next weeks winning Lotto numbers , let me know!

I’m sure he meant ‘trail ahead’ not ‘trial ahead’…..or maybe not

I contacted old fat fingers to ask that very question ..and you are indeed correct ..on both counts

Evening ride, found a nice evening sun photo spot on my way from trail to trail. Photo taken at 20:43, it's the Finnish summer and all the light in the day.

Late afternoon ride in The Simonside Hills , Northumberland .
Crazy to think that after riding in these hills dating back 30+ years that there are still tracks unridden ..
Beautiful day 27c ..but with a lovely breeze which more than made things bearable ..
The eastern end of the Cheviot Hills in the background

Met these three lads from Berwick ..( we havent ridden this trail yet Wayne )..good craic

Had a snack in the beaters hut then tackled the flyer down to Hepple Whitefield..which was a great way to finish

Hopefully will have both cars again for next Saturday ..so look forward to having some company again

Nice pics my wordsmith friend

 

[The Hodge]

I meant to add this pic to my post yesterday evening ...which just goes to show the difference between summer & winter riding ..
14.5 miles / approx 1600ft ascent and mainly in emtb mode..and this is what was left at the end ..

Not bad on a 5year old bike/ battery ...

 

[Stihldog]

Finished this feature today. 16’ long, 16” wide, over a 3-1/2’ high ravine.

My resting place.

Some helpers.

The decking.

My buddy on his feature. Rock’nRoll

It’s a puzzle.

 

[B-man]

I was parked way down there.

This guy didn't look pleased I was riding by.

No emtb pics here. Last week’s vacation at Lake Chelan, Washington. The wood was washed out of the forest by heavy rains earlier in the year and floated “downstream” (there’s a dam at the SE end of the lake). I sucked a small piece of wood into our jetski (not the rentals in the photo) which got wedged near the impeller with the resulting cavitation resulting in a one hour trip back to the dock at the blistering speed of 5mph.

We watched water bombers scooping water from the lake to fight the Chelan Hills fire (forgot to photograph the aerial tankers).

Son and his fiancée rock climbing in Mazama. I don’t like heights so I was the photographer.

 

[MeatBike]

No MTBing today as my youngest daughter wanted to go out. We did 30 miles in total, with our usual mandatory ice cream stop at the beach.

We have some close friends in Manson a bit northwest of Chelan, beautiful place. Also amazing how deep that lake is for its small size, 1,486 feet (453 meters).

Our time-share is on Wapato Point in Manson. It's the third deepest lake in the U.S. It's a beautiful area. We got lucky that there wasn't any wildfire smoke in the vicinity this year. In August, 2023, the smoke was so bad you wouldn't have been able to see the other side of the lake in your photo.
