Thanks Jamie, it was a nice day, cold but I'll take that over the weather on the Festive Frolics ride on Monday.
Your pics and story are always a good wee read.
Maybe I'll try writing a a wee story like you do next time, a description always adds to the pics. I forget that others don't always know where and what they are looking at in pics.

Too right, Tuesday and Wednesday were gorgeous. Today as well though, albeit with some challenging conditions under tyre. Headed up to Perth with the intention of session the bike park, but it shut on Wednesday for maintenance. Headed off up some new to me paths and did a bit of exploring. Found a couple of hilltop monuments and a few nice new tracks. One of my favourite new tracks of last year was unfortunately a bit worse for wear but others were running great.

Today I went for a walk in the woods, carrying my bike, at least that's what it felt like.... Local woods are still trashed from the storms, I had hoped as they're so close to town they might have been cleared, but no.
Plenty of dog walkers out and about though, they've forged long winding tracks through the woods around the obstructions but they're just not rideable... Yet.
In the end I got fed up of dragging my bike over fallen trees, getting brush and branches caught on pedals, in wheels etc etc.
Lost my sh*t!! with the trees, and called it a day (I see by the tree graffiti someone else was of the same opinion! Or maybe it's a dogging spot, who knows?).
I don't know if some of the "off-piste" mtb trails will be usable again, I can't see the council/forestry clearing them, and short of carrying a chainsaw into the woods I can't see them being cleared.

Nice job on the forks, but that’s such a bizarre perspective, top yolk looks like it’s spreading the fork legs wider than the lower crown….

Can’t imagine riding down anything that justifies those forks with only canti’s or v-brakes!

Good job cleaning up that steerer, looked a right state.
