Out jumping today. My lad was his usual bonkers self and was the first person in the Summit to complete the black gap jump



The video and pics don't do justice to how big it is!

I went there with a few targets, it was my first time back there since breaking my hand there.
First was clearing the tabletop, which I managed.

Next was the drop that broke my hand. It's a 4' elevation but it pops you high and boy does it feel big to me, but I aced it too!
I nearly peed my pants in the air

Last one was a downhill drop that doesn't look massive but is again about 4' but as you land down the slope it ends up 5-6' that took a few runs before I sent it.

All in all, an epic day and better than expected!

that's epic, he's on top form, photos or videos never do it justice.

150km this week. That’s 3 x the weekly average I was aiming for last year. But of a kick start.

Legs and arse starting to feel less sorry for themselves and I’m really enjoying it.

Managed another 30k this evening. Got moaned at good and proper for riding a bike ...on a bike path. Anyway, lovely evening. Don’t feel tired after that and even just a week ago it would have killed me.

Looks superb!

Managed another 39km today around town, sunny at times but very fresh and crisp. left home as the sun was out and did not take gloves, silly boy.

stop in Hackney Wick for a coffee, proper trendy I am

Short ride training up the new hound today, was beautiful conditions.

I am suffering a distinct lack of mojo which is rather boring.

It's easy to forget how impressive it is locally

Did around 35kms today riding the Meon Valley Trail with my brother and cousin ..mostly with the power off as my cousin forgot to bring the key for his eBike it’s an old railway line so very flat but ideal for a relaxing bimble ..

today was a mixed affair, got 80km done, epping forest and London, some nice roads, quite busy though, then back to Regents park for a few laps. 1st time in a long time we went to Gregs, bloody amazing value, £2.35 for a sausage roll and a coffee.

In Epping I got mugged off by 4 lads on MTB's for my over socks, then at Regents park some lady's loved them and took a picture, found 2 burnt out scooters.

Amd some more

Managed 35km today. That’s 11 days in a row and up to 280ish km. legs feel good

Disappointed in weight loss. I’ve managed just shy of 5kg in that time.

5kg in 11 days, that's bloody good.

Managed about 17 miles this morning on the dunes and trails without crashing this time and not 20+mph winds for a change

I don't get it, I love being in all black, but I also love some loud colours

Did a 78km north loop today, proper nice country side. Went with my next door Neighbor and a few of his friends.

Going to go back and explore a lot more

got 105km done today, all round London, did a few laps around, the Emirates stadium, Highbury fields and regents park (inner and outer circle) great fun.

Got out for a couple of road rides these days off, one 44 and one 30 miler, not much by my normal standards but had other things on including a run out on dh bike to Stile cop, still got sore ribs from crash 7 weeks but getting better.

What DH bike?

Quick ride to do some hills, legs gave up.
