Weekend Ride Picture Thread.
You know the score.
Ride your bike.
Take a couple of snaps.
Post em up with a few words about the ride.

Mrsstu's none working day today so we headed out for a spin round.
Five degrees, raining and still a shit load of ice and compacted snow about.
Great to be outriding though.
It sure beats working no matter what the conditions.

Slippy sloppy fun in Shropshire. A astoundingly fun ride ticking off all the drops, jumps and dangerous bits on the local trails 🙂

Home a bit too late for a proper Friday evening decompression ride, so just a quick spin over to the village pump track.

I had every intention of going for a ride this afternoon after errands.

Yeah.

It was warmer and drier indoors.

Fair play to you lot out there.

Weird blue coloured sky I don't ever remember seeing before, usually grey with water falling from it

A mates birthday ride. Will forever be known as the 'lethal leaves' ride. As slippy as I've ever ridden, compressed wet leaves on still semi-firm dirt. Lots of comedy sliding about for 50km/1100m. Ended up quite late in the pub and needed lights to ride the 10km home. At which point it was proper dark, so we went to a different pub 🙂

Wet but very enjoyable group ride today. Really need to sort some winter gloves and waterproof pants though!

Weather was grim, and I've never seen the Golfie busier. Forgot to take pics!

Did the Dirty Santa ride near Guildford today.  Was meant to be doing it with a mate but he's still not riding after a big crash back at the beginning of summer so decided to do it solo anyway.

Think the Xmas jumper could do with a wash afterwards...

I snuck out 'before the rain arrived' for a ride - and the heavens opened. So I turned back 🙁
A rather dull weekend of DIY instead 🙁
