Today's Ride

[mk one]

Quick ride today.

Out on the more modern, seems like harder work with just the single chainring up front, after being out on the Brodie.

Mild weather today, no cold wind so was very warm in a jacket.

I think that says a lot really .

I tried a 1x11 set-up on my 2000 Explosif, and for me it was truly awful. Then I popped on a front Mech again with 2x11, which is the set-up that Al commented on. It is still not a patch on any 3x8 or 3x9 or even 3x10, but it will do for a Winter hack as I don't care if it wears out in the wetter conditions.

Anyway, nice pictures again with a fantastic view in that last one.

Took my parkpre out for an hour today, just around the lanes and tracks near home as I didn't have more time, haven't ridden an MTB without the boys along in ages, so it was good to be able to ride faster than 10 mph, and not have to stop every 5 mins!

Another exploration today. An old hunting estate called ‘Red Lodge’ and the surrounding network of boggy paths. Nice, quiet, flat.

So warm today, nice cool wind though but strong enough to make me pedal downhill.

Short ride and some nice old trails i havent rode for many years. Great day.

Really nice day today, perfect for riding. A bit warm in the woods but when out in the open there was a nice breeze.

Short ride today, the woods are riding really nice now the ground has dried up a bit. My legs were like jelly today, think im getting a cold or something, so the smoother sections were a nice respite.

Another warm day today with just a bit of a breeze up on the tops.

Just went for a quick easy ride which turned into a long fun ride exploring some woodland i had never been in before, so a great day, if not a bit tiring.

Only took a couple of pics at begining of ride as totally forgot later on.

Yes, not many places i havent rode around here over the years so was totally into the riding.

Out again today, strong winds but the air was warm so not very cooling. Really tired and had to walk up one hill. Gears were playing up and need sorting, tried while out but seemed to make them worse, not sure whats going on with the front mech :?

The brodie was great again, not too flexy, or stiff, does everything with no fuss. Loves the singletrack

Very warm day today, not much breeze and the air was warm. Add to that every trail i rode today was uphill somehow :?

The water splash brought back memories, havent been down that trail for 30 years or so. :shock: god, im getting old..
