Top of the Worcester Beacon, Malvern Hills.

What's missing from this photograph is a) 10,000 people desperately seeking sunshine and b) trails that had the grip of a Teflon non stick pan. Still nice to be outside in the sunshine, and not being rained on.

So on that cheery note, what do you have from todays ride?

Ride? I'm sitting here housebound due to a stinking cold and moaning about Jeremy Clarkson!

Nice pic, not envious. 😉

🙁 we think - apart from a similar day two weeks ago when I couldn't ride - there has been a month when it's rained every day. This time last year it was all frozen.

There really were a lot of people tho. Even for the Malverns.

Did a (not particularly) quick loop of the Hammer (Moray Monster Trails). It pissed with rain the whole time and the trail was basically a bunch of slippery rocks sticking out of a slimy path. No way was I going to prolong the misery by stopping to take pictures. I'm glad somebody enjoyed some sunshine though.

No pics but nice to get out. More people out riding / running / walking than I see in the middle of summer. New Yr resolution syndrome I guess 😉

Complete sh*tfest out there though.

Why not Lee?

Never got my arse into gear. I'm planning on getting back into it again I've been walking a bit latterly to build some base fitness back, this week I'll be digging out my gear and cleaning it. May even service a couple of bikes.

no pics here either -- too wet & windy Alex! spent the morning ride flitting from one set of woods to another to avoid being soaked and knocked sideways..

Found plenty of slippy roots and sloppy MX tracks though!

what do you have from [b]todays[/b] ride?

Unless the Alps are having a very bad winter ski season, I think Tracey takes the honours for the most obvious flaunting of the rules of this thread 😆

Might as well join in though. This was last March.

I dunno, rules are made to be broken eh? Some great sunny shots here. Liked those especially RocketDog.

Does this still count as Sunny? More sunset. It was today tho.

Thursday's ride just north of Melbourne - 41degC in the valley - computer recorded 52deg c with reflected heat off the blacktop on final section of descent not normally that hot

Or a spring shot from near Ladybower from a few years ago not quite in the spirit of things but is sunny and has a bike in it and is very gratuitous
