Not sure if someone normally starts these, but given I've just got back from a cheeky Friday day-off-work-ride., I thought I'd start it 🙂

First ride in about 3 months.....

I got dropped off in the middle of nowhere*

Stopped to tweak a couple of bits

Spot of smog from the Staffs moors fires

Never seen it so dry up above Castleton

Made it down Cave Dale in one piece without stopping 🙂

Steady up

Sun holding out still!

Smoke from Staffs fires & clouds getting angry before final descent, bimble back to Hathersage and coffee whilst waiting my pick up 🙂  No way was I riding back over to Sheffield - was absolutely smashed after 4+ hours

Change of scenery for me

Came up to see the Newcastle Spurs game tomorrow so had a chance for a quick hour out on the roads between some nasty looking showers!!

About the least segmented big of strava I've found!!

Annoying re pics.. they might show now as I've set them to shared. Might have to look into alternative hosting as it's getting more of a pain to post from Google photos.

No problems seeing your pics CP ..very nice too!

Recognised most of the spots from our trip down there a few years back..

If it hasn't been sanitised recently then hats off for doing Cavedale in a one-er!

Classic gap ride. We do this 27th December every year and it’s always a bit of a death march through the snow/ice/hail/wind.

Today it was just lovely 🙂

Didn’t take many pics as forgot my camera and couldn’t be bothered to get the phone out. But we got round a lot quicker than winter and had no ice to worry about riding down the gap. And for the first time ever, we managed a pint in the pub by the canal on the way back to Tal-Y-Bont.

As we packed the van, the forecasted rain came down. So a good day all round 🙂

Exploring a few tracks that looked interesting on the map, but mostly didn't exist on the ground. Fun day out though.

Finished my weekend off yesterday evening with a bit of trail pruning ..

It wasn't meant to be so..with the planned ride from Kielder Dam car park to do a circular up to Monkside aborted due to monsoon conditions as soon as I got there ..unbelievable !

I turned around and headed back south towards Bellingham and then over to Dunterley Fell into a section of forest near to Watson's Walls ..where I had a good session with my Bacho Freelander hand saw trimming some overgrown branches ..

You've got to give a little back every now and then ...timed to perfection when I got back to the car with the first drops just starting to fall ..

Dundee > Loch Earn > Dundee, about the flattest route I could think of for a century but still really struggled.

No pics sadly.

Eldest_OAB spent Saturday lapping the uplift at Innerliethan with a pal; mrs_OAB and middle_OAB a local roady/track ride at Inners.

I spent the weekend tearing the house apart following our plumbing leak a couple of months back, so pulling ceilings down and ripping up floorboards to get at electrics and plumbing... 🙁
