You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
OK so this was today, but what's the point of working for yourself if you can't take an extra day in this weather!

Not the no-wash ride I was hoping for. Some deep rank puddles still up around Hayfield.

@OCB, what saddlebag have you got there.
It's a small Wildcat Tiger, with an Alpkit Airlok XTra 5l drybag in it.
The 'extra' strap around it is a home-made, extra long toe-strap - I've *always* carried a toe-strap on a bike to give me some extra versatility / redundancy, that's just a longer version.
Took my lad to QECP to try out his new (STW purchased) Boardman.
Such a fab day for it!

I think he needs a new lid though 😐

It's video (but quite a good one), can I still join in on the fun?
Thanks OCB

Ah, thanks mate! iPhone 5 photo too 🙂
It's not so much the quality of the photo (no offence!) but the way he's clearly flippin' pinning it! Knee out, serious face on- looks fun!
Somehow managed to do 242km and 2,500m of ascent over Sat-Mon. About half of that on a road bike.
Here's a photo from Monday

munrobiker - is that last shot of yours Whiteless Pike above Buttermere?
Did you go up Grisedale Pike to Hopegill Head then across?
That ridge looks awesome - gonna do that some point soon.
Rascal- yes, it is.
Our way up was from Stoneycroft, up to Sail then Crag Hill and down to Wandope, then down Whiteless. It was excellent, it's tough in places but if you have your wits about you it's all rideable.
The way up towards the end looked excellent as a descent- a good ride I reckon would be up from Stoneycroft, left to Causey Pike (this isn't on the map) then right along the ridge from Causey Pike to Sail. Turn right at Sail, descending back toward Stoneycroft then turn left and over Barrow. Going to try it later in the year.
It's video (but quite a good one), can I still join in on the fun?Isn't this just an advert?

Another shite day riding in the burning sunshine, shorts n' t-shirt weather 😀 Ryvoan Bothy to Nethy Bridge route.

Not sure how long the Easter period lasts, but I'm happy to report that Pitfichie is dry and in places you might even call it dusty!

First ride for a long time where I haven't needed to take my shorts off before getting back in the car! Forecast is for a return to a more normal 9C and rain by the weekend, so it would have been criminal not to sneak a ride in really.
Big weekend of amazing dry and (almost) dusty riding in North Wales 😀
