Looks like a change from grim-o-vision riding this weekend with a blue sky theme and rare sighting of the glowing globe in the sky.
Me, Sim and One Industries Olie are off to the Lakes for a bit of Cumbrian Classic riding.
We'll be in the Red T4 Multivan so wave if you see us.
Where's everyone else off to make the most of the blue skies and frozen ground?
Off up to Wales with others for a weekend's bivi riding on the [url= http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/pages/Mach-n-Back.html ]Mach 'n Back[/url] and I'm particularly glad the forecast's cold and sunny and not wet and miserable 🙂

I might take a ride around Baildon Moor/Shipley Glen, hopefully the ground will be a bit firmer than the mudfest it's been for the last 3 months...

Working, just done 25 miles on the new road bike though 🙂
Maybe a short dusk blast this evening around the Bath hills, then tomorrow it's picking up a bike for Mrs Transapp followed by the first ever family ride incorperating mini transapp. Never looked forward to a completly flat, short ride so much before!

Both early doors so I can take advantage of the crisp mornings. 😀
Been to Gisburn today, that's probably it except for a towpath blast to the pub for Sunday Lunch.
Just coming back from chesty problems, so just a 20-30m local road pootle.
CyB on Saturday. Going to try & get two laps of the Tarw trail in (40km) to see if I have enough in my legs to enter the Goldrush race at the end of March; I suspect not.
Then Sunday off to Penmachno, not sure if we'll do the full loop or just the short loop, but will be good whatever.
Need to be on the road by 6am tomorrow morning, so not looking forward to that bit, but otherwise I can't wait.
AND the helmet mount for my Christmas Muvi camcorder turned up today, so no doubt I will stack in spectacular session (probably before leaving the car park!!).

saturday local loop and FOD off piste natural stuff on sunday 😀
Forrest of Dean Sunday
Off to Minions on Bodmin Moor for a ride with some mates 🙂
Forecast is good with dry sunny weather if a tad on the bracing side too, might put my string vest on.
Mabie looks to be busy tomorrow then, hoping some of the other 😉 trails are a little less waterlogged than they were last week!
Been out for the first time this afternoon for 4 months. been planning it all week watching the forecast, to good an opportunity to miss. Just a 9 mile pootle locally over Deerplay Moor (Rossendale) and then to pick my daughter up from school suitably covered in mud. Was colder than I expected, was breaking ice on the puddles this afternoon, glorious sunshine though. Might get a few miles in on the road bike on Sunday, this year WILL be different!
The secrets entrance is fine and the afternoon trail is dried out. Kids trail and new zeland are always good as not many people run them. Deer fence is minced but the new trail of its ok. The white walkers may even be dried out but will be mega slippy
Quantocks early sun morning to enjoy the lovely weather and hopefully some quiet trails. Hopefully my mate doesn't bail on me like last weekend!!!!!
A twenty mile road loop round Falkirk tomorrow.
Why wait ? Just got in. Ffin cold feet though...
mabie as well.. looks like it'll be busy!
Potts, cheers that sounds good. It was the entrance to secrets last week where the water was pretty high and was hoping it had gone down! Afternoon trail was a lot drier than I was expecting, new trail off Deer Fence was good. I walked up and came across it rather than rode round the long way, does that link up with the small drop off the top of the old trail?
Was it you I was speaking to last week in the cafe with Tally and Rob? Have a good ride, I can't remember the last time I rode with no monsoon or hurricane weather!
Yeah I seen robbie last week in cafe. Yeah links of the others tart to the other side then switches back. I was bored at x mas so went and built it one day. Glad you like it.
Why isn't this a sticky?
And let's have a 'Coming Events' sticky please mods.
Brickhill woods this afternoon and again on Sunday on route to marston moretaine cafe
Not "where?" so much as "what?". My Orange Pure 7 frame arrived today and the rest of the bits I ordered from Merlin should turn up tomorrow, so hopefully it'll be rideable by Monday. 🙂
Coming off the back of a month of feeling unde the weather and a couple of months of crap weather I'll be taking a gentle poodle round the Nevis Range trails.
Having said that I'll be going for my first ride on my new Dialled Alpine so it's entirely possible I'll be getting carried away 🙂
Another Mabie rider on Sat @ 10
To work on Sunday........
Looks like the Howgills on Sunday, working tomorrow!
Spin the legs for an hour tomorrow morning then national trophy sunday
Another one out around rivi tommorrow.Looking forward to it,first time off road in 2012,been on the roadbike or turbo-trainer the last few weeks.There'll be five of us,me on a silver Giant NRS,plus two on Lapierre's & the other two probably on stumpjumpers unless they've acquired some new bling over Christmas,give us a shout if you see us.Blue skies,winter sun & (hopefully) frozen mud,perfect!
Heading up to cann woods near plymouth to practice my techincal skills, love the place, plenty of dh trails for all abilities that were made by the riders themselves, and the slogs back up are good training as well 😀
Mach' N Back for me too 😀

Had an awesome ride today. Trying to find new trails at the moment as I tend to ride variations of the same thing. Been following bridleways some of which are turning out to be awesome bits of singletrack, loving it. Trails are drying out nicely and even saw some dust clouds today!
