racing the BUCS downhill champs at Innerleithen on sunday:

Inspired by Maddad. I actually took the side on first, and never posted it. Uncanny that he did, on Strava. Great angle.

I'll be up there tomorrow.

Some great pictures in here. I'll add some average ones.
I didn't know whether to post in the cycled to work thread or here, but here seems to have more pics.

I've just upgraded from my old 1989 steel framed Bianchi. It served me well since I rebuilt it in January 2013, after 20 years of no riding (since I was at school) -




... to a Scott Foil 40.
I've been commuting for a couple of weeks now after a year lay off due to house move etc. I'm loving it.

I finished a 12 hour nightshift at 7.45 this morning then had a lovely 13 mile ride home (Northumberland). Nice easy small ring spin in exactly the opposite direction to the hustle and bustle.










My village comes into view on the horizon. -





A better one of the bike from when I got it home on Saturday. Ignore my garage door. They are on the to-do list. House was/is a total project.

Brilliant. I bought those exact Pringles Sunday night, five minutes later my son whose the other side of the country text a photo saying "Just bought these. Best thing ever". Spooky. However he purchased the Sour Cream ones, which I since recommend over the Original, they're somewhat dull in comparison.

I need a hybrid. With a wine carrier. Have been looking at purchasing one today.

Took the nipper up to bolderwood for somewhere different to ride. Did 13 miles with him sat behind me and climbed a 1000ft. Much harder that it sounds!

Only pic I took with the bike on the roof



Because....



All those people saying you can cope with a small car are talking rubbish.

Not mine, but an elderly gent tonight in Ireland. Loads of cyclists out enjoying the roads and lanes around Shefford, Old Warden, Stanford and Ireland, Beds this evening. Perfect stop off pub.

I think you need to push your seat back a bit further

Lol its an ISM saddle so has the first four inches of the saddle removed, hence the setback as your sit bones go straight on the front.

Those Pringles are too moreish, had the whole pack in one go and felt sick!

A ride around the Lickey Hills this afternoon.

[Thorpy]

This was a quick snap from yesterdays (yes i know) ride, pretty good evening for a run out!

Don't you just love the sympathy you get from your mates?!

[Silver940]

He did cheer and shout, "yes! got it on video" before saying "Are you ok?"

I may have shown similar sympathy to him on many occasions!

Did you also set yours to dramatic music with added artistic license?

[Silver940]

No I'm crap at making films! (He's pretty good at it) In fact so far I have missed his crashes as I'm always in front. Ordered a seat post mount though so I can point the Go pro backwards and repay him...

Here's one of mine from the week before..
