A thread containing pictures from rides that have taken place this weekend.

Definitely a wet one up in Aberdeenshire. I had to take a wee diversion to get to Drumtochty Hill today. A lot of the trails were streams and there were a lot of deep puddles. ‘Twas good fun though.

A wet & muddy couple of days on the new bike at Glentress 🙂

@kayak23 where is that? That building with the conservatory looks very familiar.

I arranged a fried breakfast ride...

Weekend 1: Torrentially rained off
Weekend 2: Everyone busy including me
Weekend 3: Success, except I stayed at home with covid 🙁 (they sent me lots of pics to remind me what a rubbish idea it was though!)

Thanks @kayak23 - I wouldn't have guessed that, but now I'm wracking my brains why I'm so sure I recognise that view 🤔

Mega wet and muddy in the peak.

Fleeing the scene of a vicious arm breaking.

Mutt on the cut

Can Harold see past all that hair?

Nice spin up Ennerdale on the Titus

Nice fun weekend riding at Yair, slightly spoiled by a running race marshal.

Sums Saturday up really.

Molly got a bit damp, enjoyed the fire when we got home though.

Some snow on the mountains overnight so I thought I'd best dust off the fatbike in preparation for "proper" Winter.

35km round Rothiemurchus and Glenmore again. A bit wet on the trails and the air definitely feeling a bit fresher than of late.

Lochan nan Geadas (geadas = pike). A view that only recently opened up as they've been harvesting the timber.

Hebtech on the boneshaker today.

As ever some great photos! South Downs and Stanmer park for us yesterday - surprisingly dry, and a carpet of leaves in the woods:

What's that hardtail @davros? Looks tasty.

Reeksy, it's a sonder signal ti. Back to the hardtail for the winter slop.

Ah, I should have known. Saw one in the shop in June in Ambleside and thought it looked tasty. Even nicer in its habitat. Don’t see them in Oz.

All I got was this. About half way round QE Park...

Ah well, I wasn't in the mood anyway 😛
Just gotta wonder why I was stupid enough to put that spacer in the drive side.. meant the actual BB cup came unwound! Never had that before.

Popped down the A76 to Ae, mate thinking he might need to swap his 'summer' Ikon tyres out soon.

My new bike, next to an old bike... 😉
