Today's Ride

[Hombre]

Glorious day again. Cool air, actually cold in the shade, but out in the sun it was nice and warm.

A ride up through and around woods and up to a view point. Lots of people out as you can imagine given the nice weather and beautiful colours again on the leaves that are still on the trees after the recent strong winds.

Glad i made the effort.

really nice photos! I like your bike too. is she a Charge (Duster maybe)? is there a buld-thread somewhere on the forum?

Ok, some crappy pics from yesterday. It was only a short after-work ride with a little trail maintenance. This fallen tree had to be removed from the trail, since it is a rarely used trail. I suspect that (almost) the only one using it is me, the young lads built two other lines around with some scarry features...

Thanks, and yes, a Duster skinny version. Not much of a build thread but what there is is here...

2011 Charge Duster Prestige

Some may have seen that i have now stopped using the Orange Prestige. So i have been looking out for another frame. Most modern steel hardtails with named tubesets tend to be 853 and while there are some nice looking, and from what i have heard, nice riding frames out there at the moment it...

everybody was working today (due to the idiotic habit of day-swapping), but me, being lucky enough, was free. so had to go out, since the sun was calling with her nice shiny smile. only light clouds came together to the end of the ride , but the temparature was near 20degree all ride long.

Out with my youngest, covered about 4 Mile but he wasn't to keen on offroad uphill biking

Wicked! Looks like he had fun regardless

Think he's going to be a downhiller if he has a career in it

I was out near home with my 9 yr old son - who lives off road cycling - Colne Valley from wivenhoe to Brightlingsea Essex. Nice trails and very scenic too if you like water and boats.

Fairly mild 12, cooler in the valleys. Slight SW breeze resulting in some welcome tailwind action to Zennor before heading up and over the moor. The stars were still out including Jupiter and Saturn which are looking particularly good. Got home just as the sun peeked out. Lots of deep inky blue, grey and sometimes indigo, with a lot of brown. Autumn is most definitely here.
