Right I can't see one unless someone has hidden it again.

Went up the most local set of jumps after tea for a mess about. They're a bit shit, but it was lovely.and sunny and there are bluebells so it was very pretty.

Cleared the biggest table un-cased (well a table kind of thing) which I haven't managed before and is about 2.5 bike lengths distance cleared.

Thursdays (missed the midweek thread) ride from Canterbury to the in-laws in Barnet involved route 1, Thames path and some exhilarating (for me) cross town pedaling. Finished with a serious bonk a mile from Barnet, cause I forgot to eat once I hit London🤔. Never ridden in the south before, thought it would be purgatory but had a blast!

Whitelee turbine loop yesterday late afternoon, hoping to bring the eMTB out of hibernation tomorrow for a Mugdock spin

I didn't know that Whitelee had mountain bike trails, I do now.

This little thing is giving me aches and pains in places I never ever knew I had.

Still fun though. I'm going to persevere until I don't look like a stiff backed wannabe.

I did some laps in a t-shirt and it felt naked and dangerous for some reason. It felt like riding a motorbike with no jacket on or something.

‘I didn’t know that Whitelee had mountain bike trails, I do now.’

It’s just a tiny taster/skills loop, not really worth riding tbh. The miles and miles of gravel however.., 🤪👍

Did a loop above Derwent Valley. Peak was busy with walkers but only saw a couple of bikes out. Couldn't have wished for better weather.

Bluebell day in the FoD. Some stunning displays and about the same not out yet. I managed to convert potential energy into a flight vector landing me on a very abrasive fire road! Thanks to the FC for putting a new ditch there. Great trail conditions tho, driest it's been this year. Ended up with a 62km/1380m of climbing day.

First Settle - Carlisle train then up to Ae via Lockerbie and Lochmaben. Quick circuit of the woods, small healthy/not healthy combination lunch, then train home. Mudguards came off this morning, which I'll admit may be premature...

Temptation to put the gravel bike on the uplift trailer for a giggle was strong 😀

Spin round Holy Moor, Chatsworth, Youlgreave, Birchover and Ashover.

Lovely weather, lots of walkers out, usefully holding gates open, very little mud. Multiple cafe and pub stops 😀

A quick overnighter to where I camped with a mate for his birthday last year. The funeral is this Friday.

Trip to SoYo today - Greno and Wharny. First time down the new (ish) steel city track - it's mint!!! Did the first decent sized gap but not the second - something to go back for...

20240421_08492820240421_09310420240421_10004820240421_113358

Had a bit of an unexpected lie down at the bottom of the cross land slab track...sniper root. Put a big hole in my shin but no proper damage done 👍

Local "lazy" loop.

Ruined by all the high winds, so many trees down that half the tech stuff was hike a bike😔.

South Wicklow.

Glorious out this morning, if a little chilly.

27 miler on the ebike around some local woods and Ashover

6 decent descents, but obviously they don't get snapped

Sunday local spin. Bit of trail maintenance. Bit of pedalling. Bit of testing out a new trail that's finally dried out (just) enough to ride.

@rocketdog - I think that's the first time I've seen a pic of you on a bike without drop handles.  It suits you!

Sunshine on Saturday made quite a contrast to recent riding conditions. Full a11y clan inc Mrs a11y and the mini-a11ys for a couple of loops of Carron Valley trails. Great improvements in confidence for the mini-a11ys after coaching during the Easter hols.

My eldest nicked my new bike for a spin - thankfully too small @ 157cm tall for my XL frame. Won't be long though...

Then I sneaked in a quick Dumyat ascent and descent last night while kids at a sports club. Followed quite a bit of rain earlier in the day so trails squidgy in places but still better than they've been.

Whereabouts are you Saccades? I've just got my bike out of storage after moving to Bray, starting to explore the local trails. Got to Ballinastoe last weekend, which was perfect for getting back in the saddle again.
