Re: 2021, riding mileage and updates
At last, I've managed to get out on the MTB. It feels like I haven't ridden for 6 months, because I haven't and confidence is loooooow
the good thing is that the trail pixies have been very very busy, the trails are awesome and I've just ridden 5 that I've never ridden before

and I found this tree, It must be the biggest tree I've ever seen

Re: 2021, riding mileage and updates
If I'm in the county then game on, however, we are looking at heading to south wales visiting family for a few days. we'll have to see how that particular date pans out but we can certainly do a weekend sometime after
edit - high command has just told me that if we do go up to wales it will be on the 12th

40km of trails, mud, slop, woods, coffee, and cake. Awesome stuff.

Re: 2021, riding mileage and updates
Pretty sure I'll have ridden it. Is it the grassy one or the chalky one?joe19 wrote: Sun Mar 21, 2021 2:19 pm 7 hours done this week which is nice. Found a spicy climb from the nuclear place up to the ridgeway. Might use that as my new benchmark!
Re: 2021, riding mileage and updates
Fairly sure it was grass:

Day off so pedal it is. Nice little ride though the lanes of sometimes sunny Shropshire. Lunch at Walcot weir. Back to nature.

Re: 2021, riding mileage and updates
21 mile road ride today on the MTB in 1 Hr 29min . Makes a change for it not to be pissing down with rain or blowing a hooly. Finally hit that time of year that the winter thermal top is just about too warm now so change coming to the thinner one for Spring riding and back to summer fingerless gloves

18.4 Miles and 2400ft of climbing today, wrong tyres as its drying out fast and wrong shoes as it was warmer than expected.
