Rad day at Cwmcarn today.
There's lots of pinch gates there now to try and stop motorbikes.
I still got mine through though ... 😉
Been a while since I've been there so really enjoyed it 😊
🤷♂️
Love the video @rOcKeTdOg, my kind of bimble. Just missing a pub stop
Had to drive later, otherwise 🍻
Purpecks on a geomatron!

It’s great over there, tyres are a bit draggy, but that can only make me stronger in the long run.
Went to explore a new section of the Beacons today, round Ystradfellte and along a bit of the Sarn Helen road.

Was starting to wish I had taken the full sussr rather than the hardtail about halfway round, very rocky! Was good to be out in the wild though, only saw two other riders in the distance and three walkers on the whole route.
Bit of a soggy one today. More a day for enjoying little details than big views.

Dusty, deserted Lanzarote trails for me.
Calderdale MTB marathon this morning. Beautiful day, still wet on the ground.
My mate Rich at the top of Bronkham Hill on the South Dorset Ridgeway looking down to The Fleet and the English Channel

Local trails for us today.
Bumped into the guy that's responsible for a load of new trails popping up in the woods.
Going to be giving him a hand with building a few bits and pieces in future.

More road this week, my Achilles is still playing dafty.
Posh Perthshire in the early autumn - we dodged the rain, the A9 being closed and many other riders being out. Lush.
Mild and sunny Friday, wet and windy today !

3hrs in fog yesterday morning so it didn't happen
A tough ride today taking in some views.
I thought I'd done a 73km loop onto Gelligaer common and down into Bedlinog but I don't have any pics so I didn't. I wonder why my legs are tired.
Local radness (albeit not in the pictures...) followed by coffee/cakey things.
Took the Slayer to the park, put the ride-4 chip and in steep for a giggle.
The last weekend I had off. Too long ago. Aberfeldy. Primo trails.

@kayak23 another motorbike, in the Galloways this time 😉
No pics from yesterday, 20 miles round the locals, was too dreich to take photies.
Midweek at Comrie croft
Today at Auldallan, Angus glens
First time back in the local woods for a while. Found some new bits the diggers have been working on, and witnessed the (necessary I guess) carnage of harvesting as one of our best bits of singletrack has bitten the clay. RIP Sticky Bomb...
Friday night saw my first night ride of the year. 22 miles of familiar gravel trails from the front door. Even managed a pub stop on the way home, do t think I’ve managed one of those since before child number two was born almost 3 years ago!

@kayak23 - yes, it is pretty mad riding terrain. We are off to Fuerteventura tomorrow, never ridden there before it will be interesting to see how it compares.

I went years ago now. I think it's pretty similar to be fair 🤔
Yesterday was a good day.
Not been out for a while just went up Setters for a few runs

Then was watched by the littlest boss while I washed the bike down, I think he might like bikes...

Then over to Watchtree Nature Reserve so the kids could get some two wheel time. The daughter cracked setting off by herself and the boy is really coming on with his balance bike. Proud dad moment 😊

More forest to fork trail action this weekend...
swavis you are doing Beinn a bhuird the wrong way round! which way did you come down?
Amazing Weather, Amazing Weekend!
After last weekends washout, we went back to the Malvern Hills on Saturday and rode the long loop - some pretty amazing views were taken in too

And then on to the mighty off-piste of the Forest of Dean yesterday. 20miles of simply sublime trails, hero dirt, cracking weather and some great company - had to be up there as one of the best days riding this year!

I just wish I didn't live 4hours drive away.. 😥
@fergal We did it and Ben Avon south to north dropping down to Inchrory. Over Bealach Dearg back to Braemar. Superb, tough day out. Way below zero up top when you factor in the strength of the wind but it more of a help than a hindrance, thankfully.
Saturday - No pics but got lost in a bog looking for a path I was sure was there. Turns out it is, just slightly to the left. (Jocks road).
Sunday - road loop Deeside to Donside and back. Three nice climbs though was a bit windy on one of the descents and so I never quite managed to let go of the brakes.

swavis you are doing Beinn a bhuird the wrong way round! which way did you come down?
Yes as Shortbread describes, not the wrong way round for our route choice.
I've ridden it counterclockwise too and the descent is a better climb 😉
The descent off Ben Avon to Inchrory is brilliant though.
Does Thursday night still count as the weekend?
Marsden, West Yorks after a descent of the packhorse track. Next stop Riverhead Brewery and Tap.
shortbread & swavis nice one, north off Ben Avon is a belter one of my favorite outings.
Cheers Fergal. Had we done it the other way today’s 1000yd stare would be a 10000 one. Was pretty breezy up top.
Another Thursday picture.
If you go down to the woods today...
Just back from a week in BC.
