Was just an evening quickie after work. I'll do a day here soon, could do with some rain first to make it more interesting.
Likewise haven't been down your way for ages.
Must try and get some decent rides in this Autumn, I fancy a recce over at Vassiviere at some point, maybe a two day job ?

Some of the lessons seem to be working

Nice one, yeah looking at where you want to go rather than just in front of your front wheel...I often have to remind myself of this one, surprising the difference it makes.

I'm in, loads of places to stay, camp, etc. Great trails there as well.

Needto find a cheeap hotel at the end of the season

Just back from five days on the Netherlands and Belgian TET. Time to relax...

Some overdue TLC on the BatBike last night

Test fitted my panniers to my recently acquired racks this morning, so thought it best if I went hunting for a Starbucks, seeing as how the bike was dressed for it . . .

Not one here . . .

Nor hear . . .

Or here either


Gave up looking after a while

Up and around Whaley Bridge this morning on my eMTB trying to get a look at the now famous Toddbrook Reservoir - but failed. I don't know the area that well and all the easy routes are shut. All the trails and backroads are like rivers, bogs or are a foot deep in mud and debris. Sure has been raining a lot. Personally I think it was Sunday when the damage was done; it rained heavily all day.

This is a normally gentle weir of clear water on the river Goyt. The picture doesn't do justice to the speed the water is flowing and how high above the top of the weir it is. I think they're dumping the reservoir water in it and the canal which is also way high.

My 6yr old sons first ride on a motorbike and I’m now buying him as Oset ASAP! He took to it like a duck to water

My daughter even gave one a go at 3 yrs old #prouddad
