You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm really hoping that the weather forecast is some what correct, meaning at least the water won't be falling from the sky and all I'll have to worry about is standing water on the trails. Either way its going to be a wet one.
Starting in Marple and will play it by ear as to how far or long I'm out, defo finishing with a brew and at least one cheese and bacon toastie at The Roman Lakes Cafe.
Cambridge Big Bike ride. Choice of courses: 20.12km or 201.2km. Road either way but alternative of slogging and sliding round sliithery bridleways and byways does not appeal.
Hertfordshire.
slainte 😉 rob
Ladybower. Possibly sessioning some bits 'cos we is sick and rad innit.
On tarmac probably, looking at the state of the local trails. I might not even bother with that, might just stay in and watch the Tour on the telly instead. **** this summer. 🙁
Bedgebury sunday morning, had an awesome ride there this evening. Didn't see a single person!
the alps.
Haa ha.
dartmoor
Bingley Bash for me, see what it's like as it's a first ride on that route. Believe there's a chance of no rain - well lets hope anyway
35 mile loop round trails on salisbury plain, think i better wear a snorkel, was up to the top tube in places a couple of weeks ago and we hadn't had this much rain.

the alps.
Haa ha.
That was SO last weekend when it was dry and dusty 😉
Was thinking of heading up the road to either CYB or the Marin but depending on t'weather might just do a local loop (Llangollen)
Sunday evening/night ride for me in Bringewood!
Kentmere,tomorrow
No Ride this weekend. Taking a boat throught the Crinan canal instead.
Rossendale brewery ride.......... 8)
Local isle of man trails taking in some final mapping for the Legs of Mann 100 event at the end of the month.
SDW to Arundel then down the Arun to Littlehampton, back along the beach to West Witts.
The alps not sure what yet though, and a short walk tomorrow am and ride pm, Sunday towards chatel to see the freeride stuff
Woods above (flooded) Ross on Wye. It's a thinly veiled excuse to go to the pub really. I don't expect any trails to be above the water table. Still it can't be worse than Mayhem can it?
Delamere, then back for British grand prix with some birthday beers - perfect day!
Up in the lake district on Sunday morning. Weather doesn't look to bad atm, no doubt that will change 😐
Llandegla Sunday morning.
The Chichester Challenge, mud uber slippy chalk and more mud, wisely chose the 30k rather than the 55k !
Off to Lee Quarry on Sunday morning.
Bring your snorkel & goggles for Marple!
Grizedale forest
@Banks - is it still that bad?? Thought it drained quite well over there. Can't be as bad as Penmachno was 3 weeks ago, thats was just like riding upstream for the duration.
Commited now so it'll be what it'll be.
to the cafe, scoff cake then back for the 1st mountain top finish in the tour
#AllezWiggo!
Starting my LeJog tomorrow. Train at 6am to Penzance and then do the bit to Lands End and back tomorrow and start the big days on Sunday.
Wouldn't say It's bad, its just a ride up stream. Then downstream. But I like the rain
Tomorrow morning I'll be out on the roadbike doing a 30 odd mile loop around West Lancs,mountainbike's gathering dust at the moment,I'm waiting for the trails to dry out..
Tarmac for me seeking out hills to climb in preparation for the Wild Wales, was planning a 60 miler if weather is not too bad.
after seeing this severe weather rain warning for Dartmoor.... indoors!
that's from the met office.. surface water flooding.. they recommend 'taking action'

Road this morning for a couple of hours. Working this evening & all day tomorrow so all I've got time for.
Local loop in the macc area - avoiding anything remotely muddy
Rode the Cli-Machx trail yesterday in the rain. Good fun riding down the rivers. Off to Coed-y-Brenin today and Nant Carn on Sunday. Weather is looking a lot better today.
Just on my way out for a Stockport to Chester and back 100 miler (or the train back if these shingles things flare up again).
or the train back if these shingles things flare up again
have you really got shingles.!?
are you being treated..?
If that really takes hold you can forget riding, or even leaving your bed for a month..
are you sure it's not chickenpox..?
Chatel
All riding from the door this weekend on the Moray coast, last night was somewhat nicer than this morning 🙄

I have a spare ticket for the Wiggle Isle of Wight Ferry Sportive. If anyone wants to come along, drop me an email ASAP! Small contribution to charity would be much obliged.
Bailed my sdw trip, got to Arundel , called MrsBouy to collect me. Been pissing down since well before my start at 9... trails hard going, soaked through, misty, fallen off 6 times as too sloppy...
Looking forward to a hot shower.
Just in from a couple of hours on the cross bike. At one point (near Campbell Park in Colinton) the road dips down under a bridge. It was flooded, but "How deep can it be" I thought, "I'll just pedal through". I ended up pushing, with the water fully covering both wheels (700 wheels too, not 26s).
Still a fun ride though, apart from two punctures.
That didn't go as well as expected 2 hours riding in total. I've got to get better for next weekend.
Yunki - shingles. 2nd time I've had them although they didn't blister this time and they're fading.

Bring your snorkel & goggles for Marple!
Well it wasn't bad at all nothing that required the above. Rode round in shorts and just a long sleeve jersey and yes I got wet but not the soaking I thought I'd get.
Got just as wet walking back from the pub in Prestbury this afternoon with the Mrs and dog
Very muddy, thorns and nettles everywhere, filthy bike (oh the sound of the mud/sand in the mech 😥 ) and one broken spoke. Still better than sitting on my backside! Lost of my cheeky trails pretty much lost in the bracken and nettles today. Glad I knew where the drops were. Hard work uphill in wet mud and roots though.
swinley - 3 hours muddy , boggy and sandy singletrack , But Big smile been there so many times now but still found stuff i had never did including this insane jump on a slim ribbon of singletrack , whoever does that bonkers ... love swinley and strayed away from most of what id usualy do Jump gully lab etc .. as im a pussy and did not want to faceplant and hurt myself before the alps next week .. cream crackered after all that gloop though !
goin to give the mtb a work out 90 mile liverpool to chester via delamere never tryed it before but should be fun. the bike looks crap with slicks on and even worse with my fat arse purched above!
I'm just back from the dirty, dirty woods.
Pishing down, loamy filth in every hole-in the ground and I- and a cheesy grin to boot. No-one about, just me & full blast Maiden in the ears.
It's Scotland, it's Summer, once you're wet... you're wet.
Marvellous.
Desperate to get up to Dartmoor as not been out for three or four weeks but think it might be a bit 'damp' so will prob stick to Haldon. That's if it ever gets out of the clouds...anyone tried Woodbury in the last few days?
Southdowns Way ......Meonstoke - Winchester to the Hat Fayre and back. That muddied up probably thought that we were one of the acts!
Saturday was well nice in the end 27 dark peak miles in shorts & tshirt with the sun - the perfect Saturday except for when I rode into a gate square on
