Couldn't see one, so.....
Still plenty of mud around, but definitely signs of things drying out nicely. Almost dusty in places. Played a blinder today and dodged the showers almost timed to perfection.
Headwind in seemingly every direction on the tops, so glad I took the cheat bike
Chatsworth/Bakewell loop
Still very boggy Manchester way
I think this is it (possibly).

I wish people would put WRPT in the title though! I got caught out last week also.
Good to hear it's drying - where about a were you riding? I'm mulling over a trip to the peak tomorrow. Probably cut gate.
Last bit of rain here in central Italy was 12 days ago.....

Was a bit warm and muggy.... Wouldn't mind some rain.

No mud here, after 4 grey days, the suns out with a vengeance......... between Koblenz and Mainz, heading south on the Rhine.
Our local trails are now as dry as you want them to get, some of them on exposed hills are getting too dry. The kiddie winkles have been busy building some rather spectacular trails with lots of challenging features; speed jumps into berms, straight into track gaps, into a bend and sizeable gap jump. It took me a few run ins to get the courage up for the final gap, but as one of the teenagers noted, I “greased it” apparently:)
Sorry for the rubbish pics, these were just some randoms from yesterday, I was having too much fun to take any today!

Only Derbyshire Dales - 17 mile loop from home through Chatsworth.
Guess cutgate will be a similar picture, some dry bits, but some still very boggy bits. Think Tracey was up there last week though (pics in one of the other picture threads)
If you're on Facebook, check out a group called The Rides - they were up Jacob's yesterday.
Also a good group for people trying to find riding buddies. They do group rides every weekend round the Peak and beyond that anyone is welcome to join. Been meaning to join one, but not got round to it yet

I was out round Hope this morning. The rocky stuff was wet but riding ok. Everything else was a shitfest. Plenty of trails looking VERY tired after a long wet winter.
if I was riding there tomorrow, it would be Jacobs. Pretty much all rocky, so you might still get soaked from the ground up, but at least you won’t **** the trails up.
Thanks @JonEdwards - that's good to know. I definitely don't want to wreck any trails, so maybe I'll give it a swerve (or, at least swerve anything not rocky)
Had a look on KoftheP and not much info up
Mount Keen today. Very windy up top!
Local woods dodging showers

Quick play in the woods at lunch today while Mrs Noise and the dog were off visiting friends for brunch and a walk.
The WBI (Wakerley Bog Index) currently oscillating wildly between a 4 or 5 and totally off the scale depending on which bits you choose to ride. Today's playground was pretty much dry, but had to ride.push through a bit of a swamp to get there...
"I wish people would put WRPT in the title though! I got caught out last week also."
It was deffo in last week's title, admittedly disguised slightly though... 😛
What does WRPT mean?
Weekend Riding Picture Thread
Those Chatsworth pics 'almost' make me want to get the bike out again!!
That combined with a physio on Thursday saying the best thing I can do to build muscle around a dodgy knee is get cycling.
I may have to drag the Ti Inbred out of the back office at work! I'll rock the trails with my Olde Worlde 27spd machine! 🤣

If you fancy a steady pootle round with company I'll bring the HT out, give me a shout
Shipley Glen/Baildon Moor, shorts and t-shirt weather 😎 Dry and almost dusty in places but the flatter bits of the moor still saturated 💩💩
Betraying Wiltshire for a bit of Somerset riding.
Bugger! At least it still holds air)
Little 1hr blast on the gravel bike today - first ride in months due to injuries and illness. It was surprisingly quite dry in my part of West Yorkshire after recent rain
I even took a comedy tumble. It was just nice to get out!
Got up this morning in time for a ride, procrastinated, decided not to bother and give two of the bikes a VERY long overdue clean instead. Think I knackered the older of my two batteries for the ebike in the process. It was already showing signs of being on its way out though tbh
Put everything away then realised I should have given the gravel bike a wash too 😬
Boring clean bikes pic
Shouldn't that^ be in the WCBPT instead?
Yes it’s the bottom of the Deer Park, the first is climbing out of Mirfield woods
Not sure what's happened to the built in rich text editor and image upload. Back to ImgBB.
Anyhow, nice ride out on what now appears to be my weekend standard Easter Moors Loop and other bits. May try Chatsworth way next weekend.
Drying out, but still lots of slop if you know where to look for it. New rear tyre helped a lot with traction. Was spoilt by a pretty dry Laggan Wolftrax earlier in the week 😄
Out and back on Cutgate for the second week running. Cold wind and the top was a bit wetter than last week
Always good to be out on the bike
Thought better of cut gate today as per my post on this thread from yesterday (thanks @JonEdwards)
Went to some woods in North Yorkshire instead...it was prime 😎😎😎😎
2100m fully leg powered ascending, 40Km in lots of little circles. Didn't mean to do that much really, but I felt good so just kept going.
This cheeky chappie always comes to say hello at the spot we park at usually.
It seemed to like Gregg's baguette with a bit of tikka mayonnaise on it
Loop from marple over chinley churn on Friday. Still wet but drier than it has been.

That's quite some climbing!
First dry ride in some time.
Thats not mud.
Stage 2 today on pmba was mud.
Relentless mud but hey least it was soft
Starting the fight back to "holiday" fitness...

Ha you got me second guessing myself :- just pressed the Strava 'correct elevation' button and it now reckons a measly 1500m! I think my watch altimeter must be playing up.
Good to see the bluebells are out
Still on the big bike (it was on top of the bike pile in the garage), but gravel type route today. Didn't fancy a second ride in two days dodging the swamps.
Devon, and especially Woodbury, has dried out a treat 😎
Managed to get a ride in Friday, Saturday and today.
Friday and Saturday were both solo 50ish km rides with lots of techy singletrack and beautiful Devon countryside.
But today's was my favourite - only 15km, but out with my 10 year old daughter and my 82 year old dad 😁
took the boys round Woburn this morning to fend off their back to school blues
And it was brilliant to be riding in short sleeves on dry trails , with blue skies! 
Thats not mud
I didn't photograph the muddy bits 😉
Quoting without quote buttons - I wish people would put WRPT in the title though!

I vote for 'WRAPT' - Weekend ride and pictures thread, as it's also like a cool modern spelled a bit wrong buzzword.
That's the weekend WRAPT up! 🙂
Chilterns drying out nicely.
Middle bridleway from Coombe Hill to Wendover running nicely. Boring pic as I’m not stopping on the rooty spicy downhill bit to take photos.
Inspiration from Colournoise of this parish.
Bluebells are out and looking better than I’ve ever seen.
Dodgy knee & a bad back meant a fairly chilled weekend, but managed a most pleasant gentle pootle last night. Warm, dry and the Bluebells were popping!

I've a scratch on my shin this morning - Becasue yesterday I rode in shorts and a short sleeved tee-shirt! Rode an old route in the Chilts with some mates, and it was dry and sunny and warm and not even that muddy. We even had a beer in the garden afterwards. Miracles will never cease. Looking out the window this morning though, and it's blowing a hooli and pissing down, so I guess that was it for the time being.
Second time in shorts this year, first time in both tee shirt and shorts. How depressing is that?

5°c on site near Chesterfield right now and sideways rain. It's getting f'in depressing now
OK, I've put new knobbly tyres on the bike after waiting too long for drier conditions to be able to eke out another few months of service, bought some riding trousers, warmer gloves and a rain jacket.
If that doesn't cause a hosepipe ban I don't know what will.
(Sorry no pics of a soggy Gisburn ride)
But today’s was my favourite – only 15km, but out with my 10 year old daughter and my 82 year old dad 😁
Brilliant.
I'm sure the Instagram embed function is still borked, so I'll have to ask you to click to see my pics from Grizedale yesterday - sorry.

Monday off is still the weekend sort of.
Rode from Whitby along the Cinder Track to Ravenscar and then followed the Moor 2 Sea route to Pickering and train back.
Was very windy on the exposed bits but only got caught in one rain shower.
Also saw my first swallow of summer despite the car showing 3 degrees when driving over the mmor to Whitby at 9am.
