Did an evening ride up and down Dumyat. Lovely sunset followed by blindness in the woods lol
Very dry and dusty coming down. Felt a few squirm moments on the rear.
Does Thursday avo count as the weekend?
Blast round Golfie. Too hot to stop and take pics so only got this one from the start of the ride.

@singlespeedstu - Thursday's definitely count, I'm retired, every day's a weekend! 🙂
This is Middlebere Heath (Dorset) at the end of Thursday night's ride in the Purbecks, perfect end to the day.

Did a double ride on Thursday.
8am on the Quantocks to beat the heat, and then a ride around Bath/BoA in the evening of with a pub lunch in between.
Glad I got out, cos it's pissing down now!
Yesterday: hot ride to Loch Eanaich and back for beers at the OBI

Getting a bit overgrown round here.
A couple of bits of trail have vanished into the undergrowth.

You sure there is a trail in that second picture lol
A loop around Cross Fell and Great Dun Fell.
Big climb up to Cross Fell
Down from Greg's Hut
Source of the South Tyne
Pretty much all singletrack from there to Great Dun Fell, the occasional washed out section
Then it was down the Great Dun Fell access road
It would be better in the opposite direction and with a different BW descent off Cross Fell. More shots and text at https://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=20380
Camping at Llandegla. The cold beer after a hot ride was sublime
Some proper overgrown seldom used trails in the south lakes Yesterday. Lovely ride out.

Only managed a day at Windhill with a few of my riding mates on Saturday, two of them I haven't seen since before Covid! The bikes even had a chance to catch up with each other, socially distanced.

Was knackered after my first week back in work for nearly 9 months plus the heat all week ruining any quality sleep so I didn't get many laps in and was riding like a sack of spuds too, still great fun though.
As my life is one long weekend at the moment I'm counting todays ride as eligible for this. 😉
Couple of hours over Golfie followed by a trip to the top of Glenduro. Then over to Inners for a couple of trails and finishing on The Classic just as it started to rain.

Had my nephew up from down south for 4 days. He has never ridden MTB trails before but after a little skills assessment/tuition he had a little tour-de-trail-centres where he enjoyed riding red trails at Mabie, Drumlanrig, Kirroughtree and Glentress. I handed him back to my sister unbroken and grinning ear to ear.
Absolutely, and I've gotta say that doesnt look like a lad on his first time riding proper MTB! Looks great!
Todays ride was a little different.
