Stopped for another catalogue pose this morning. A slightly cheeky breeze but glorious all the same, not a cloud to be seen (again). Hardly any mud, fast trails, it's perfect!

The bluebells are just about to turn so best get out there. Another stunning morning 
Warm again today but with the wind blowing it makes for a very nice day to be out on a bike.
A strange loop today. As i was riding a trail the other day i noticed some walkers cutting across a field, i later remembered that it is a path that leads into some woods we used to cut through many years ago. The paths around the outside of the wood have been heavily rutted in places by motorbikes but the ground was hard so managed to ride through or over most of it. After emerging on the lane i headed into Hardwick grounds again, this time coming across a couple of closed gates, one of which was opened for me by the staff patroling the grounds which was nice. Quite a few friendly people out today walking dogs, and a couple not so cyclists...

This is Why!
Took the Hot out for an amazing ride this afternoon... only a short one as im still recovering from knee surgery.. but on some fun trails.. This bike has a real Jeux de Vive.. it just absolutley zips and pings along.. and begs to be ridden faster and faster down singletrack.. Its no brute though.. and needs to be handled delicatley.. like a thin poised delicate foil compared to my modern 'enduro' bikes beastly broadsword.. any mistakes and it will let you know!

Re:
MY GT single speed. I built it up out of leftover bits recently and love riding it.
Can't identify the frame origins tho. Has one set of bottle cage bolts, a rear U brake and brazed on seat clamp. Oh and it's really bloody small. Love riding it though.
If anyone knows what the hell it was originally I'd be very grateful. I think it had silver polished Heinemann concave on it. Think I may even have them somewhere still!
