May boxed off.

Hardknott Fort roughly 70 miles in to Jennride. Possibly the best 2 days I've ever had whilst pissing about on bikes. Just mint

I personally try to only buy things I actually want and plan to keep for ever, or at least a very long time.

Buying something I don't want (or with features I don't need) to please a potential future owner wouldn't even cross my mind

If you don't request a refund your entry fee will go to the charity pot once everything is paid for.

How many off the forum are doing it Roll Call please

Me

Sorted. Cheers Robbie

As per title. Anyone?

Beltin' Meg nice one!!

Vanilla stout from Aldi. Should have bought a few more

Angus Young looks to have indeed finished under 36 hours. That's seriously impressive. Under 48 is going some!

There's some seriously quick riding going on at the pointy end

Maybe next time Greg
We wandered into Hebden for a 'breakfast stack' from SQUEEZE, would recommend

Stooge Rambler pre order is live. It looks great but I really don't need another bike

Aprils BaM boxed off nice and early of Friday 1st. CX bike packed Thursday evening, rode to work through the snow showers Friday AM, then a mixed-surface (is that 'gravel'?) 50 mile loop to meet my beloved in Hebden Bridge Friday evening. Cheating slightly here as I'd convinced her it would be nice ...

This is wonderful

I had a pedal out to the coast after work on Friday. Chippy tea in Brid, bivvy on Flamborough Head, watched the sunrise and pedalled back. Flat road miles for a change but I enjoyed it.

There's some wonderful BaM's going on! Superb thread

Tyvek bag please

PM'd

I was up at a fire on the moors the other year started by some knobber and this car pulls up and a family get out and start setting up a disposal bbq I asked what they were doing and they were planning on watching the fire get put out while having their tea, unbelievable lol I got the police to mov...

Definitely a sign of spring. I thought I saw a couple the other morning at the far end of the field next to the house but couldn't be certain.

Loads of Curlews and Lapwings an the moors above Kettlewell last weekend. Always a joy to behold!

Woke up in a ditch

Mostly cheery as its the last day of compulsory medical mask wearing at work. Whilst it may not seem like much in the scheme of things, as someone with severe hearing loss who mostly 'hears' by lip reading, it's a massive step towards a more-cheery work life

March BaM boxed off last night :-bd 10km loaded commute under the best morning sky of 2022 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51931495108_34f41fd54b.jpg Shift at work followed by a good 60ish Km loop around some of my favorite trails south of Huddersfield https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5193141...

I spent the weekend teaching navigation to fell runners in Kettlewell and it was most excellent. Clocked about 14 hours on the hill over Sat and Sun between teaching, running and putting out/in controls. Pretty darn tired today! Rest day today and tomorrow, back at it on Wednesday. Great work Greg!...

Looks good to me and for a very good cause! Mostly very familiar trails as I'm placed somewhere in the middle of the circuit, within striking distance of the Overgate hospice in Elland. Although some of the flatter stuff east of Dewsbury will be new for me. I'd like to make the mass start but it's a...

I rode over that way on Friday and had no prior knowledge of the closure until I saw the signs. There were a few other riders heading past the signage though so I followed suit and asked the Highways Agency bloke if I could pass, he had no issue and quite a few riders were coming from the other dire...

I used to get this with running. I'd feel guilty for missing a session, so I'd plan the next session to be twice as intense. Then I'd dread that session and either miss that too, or really not enjoy it... It started to feel like a chore and something I 'should' be doing, rather than something I'd wa...

Road cycling yesterday on the North West Passage 200km Audax.

Starting in Rochdale with controls at Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale and Scorton.

Mostly A-road bashing which would never usually be my preference but it ment the route was mostly gritted and the cars had cut tyre tracks in the snow.
