The "Photos From Today's Ride" thread. (Vol. 2)

[loskie]

Dug the aged MTB out. Been doing a lot of road cycling of late. Taking this old bike out is much nicer. It's a 2005 Rockhopper Comp Disc. How would I know what type of new front forks to get? Or indeed if the old one is knackered and unserviceable. It's and Axel something.

I see your cows, and raise you Wales






Then, a bit further on, the sort of thing that makes cycling around here wonderful. The A48 dual carriageway is about 40m away to my right and sounds very busy. Meanwhile, this picture shows the exact average amount of traffic found on the road I'm on

The Mad Max style post apocalypse world in the music video for California Love was probably inspired by the yard next to this sign

20 mile sunset blast though the local woods on the cx bike. Been doing far too much road riding recently. So much fun to be out on the trails. Even better when they’re completely deserted

[RC1807]

Saturday: solo ride. My longest ever @ 130km / 81 mi. Fastest metric 100 by 13 minutes.



My most northern point, Vianden.



Echternach



Quick Strava screen grab on the move ….

My girlfriend had her first trip back to the trails after surgery on a broken wrist in April - lovely evening for it!





We live in the village in the mid ground - 20 mins ride up to the trail park

Threw some narrow tyres on my mountain bike and did a gravel event on Salisbury plain yesterday. Lovely day out and wonderful views from the higher ground.

Wow where is it?

41 miles off to the coast, around and back for me this morning.

The empty end of Burry Port harbour


View across the flats at Kidwelly, looking towards Pembrey Circuit and Airport


Ferryside looking across to Llansteffan (castle to the left)



Despite the weather forecast being for no rain, I packed my big saddle pack with my waterproof in... bloomin' glad I did!


Found a small bus stop to shelter in from the worst, and looks like the local primary school had been to make sure I enjoyed my stay, despite the weather

I'm assuming you're going to need a set of
26"
Straight steerer (1" 1/8th)
QR drop out
120mm (ish) travel.

Welcome to the world of unicorn hunting.

[loskie]

so it seems.

Maybe a new bike excuse will arise from this

[Squadrone Rosso]

Gorgeous Mumbles. Lovely weather today.

[loskie]

is that a new bike?

It is from a couple of weeks back Giant Revolt Advanced 2. Love it.

Welcome to the world of unicorn hunting.

Search for Manitou forks - they do a range of new forks that include your specs…

And from today - started on the road, got bored, hit the singletrack. Which was not the brightest move as it was dark, the trails were wet and slippy and my tyres were at 70psi. Still, made it out!




And some good views across the bush towards Chatswood as the sun came up…

The classic Cotswold view. Eating pretzels at Coln St Aldwyns.

Double green litre bidon day.



Coffee stop at the brilliant Cafe Velo in Ringwood.



A swan and some sleepy cygnets.



My favourite local establishment is open again after a Covid problem last week.

[Tickle]

Isolation done, first ride post Covid. Good to be out, especially on this stunning evening.
