Today's Ride

[mk one]

Warm today.

Havent been out for a bit due to an injury but managed a short ride over to Hardwick, reversed a section of one of my loops, nice change of views.

Good ride and the sun came out too

Warm today, hot when the sun came out.

Went for an easy ride today, a short route as i was dog sitting. Usually takes under 2hrs, took me nearly 3 today for some reason :shock: Great day for riding though and once out i wish i had more time, especially when the sun came out by the lakes as it was the sort of day to sit and relax a bit. Ther berms are part of a trail long forgoten, great though short bit of track.

Great ride

Well Summer has well and truly returned today….. (after my dress rehearsal for Winter on Sunday :roll: ). The temperature just nudged above 20 C here in West Berkshire. I did wear shorts today, but I didn’t manage to take any pictures to prove it :facepalm: .

I did a loop today for a change, starting off with a blip up to Crookham Common, then back down and along the Kennet Valley for a while and up the other side to the North. I decided to take the Score out – the last time I was on it was 2017, before my little episode.

This is the track that takes me back down from Crookham toward the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Then a climb up the other side of the valley to Cold Ash.

Beautiful stuff. Looking towards my old neck of the woods, where my formative MTB years took place.

Sorry random question
I’ve got a old Kilauea similar to that - do the decals on a Score literally glow in the dark ?

That track looks especially inviting and the tree line route intriguing, I just want to ride it to see where it goes!

Yes they do glow in the dark. I believe that all of the 2000 range have them. The Score Decals are just stuck on top of the titanium tubing, but I also have a 2000 Explosif and Kula, which are both under the lacquer, and they still glow in the dark, but not as well..... and it's Pip by the way .

Warm today.

I usually avoid going out at weekends but it was such a nice morning so went for a quick ride.

Great little loop up to and around Brierley forest park and managed to stay on less troden paths so not super busy.
