Great day today meeting everyone at last, I even enjoyed Gisburn somewhere I normally don't get on with. Got to say though Pinocchio I easily won the rear end Charlie award on ups and downs, Michelle was going faster than me when she was walking up cardiac hill . Need to get out more again and get fitter. Hopefully we can get something sorted between Christmas and new year. My missus wants to know though why it is I meet men off the Internet in woods miles from home and come home grinning! Don't knock it till you tried it is my answer to that. Mike was awesome to meet up and defo up for a meet over Christmas you guys set a day date and I'll do my best to be there  pmsl at pinocchio I wished you had seen me last year struggling up them hills .. |

I'm not quite sure whats happening recently but I've managed three visits with no offs. Must be going slower or getting luckier. Came close on the last section yesterday as I jumped off a lip or burn and landed bang on the lip before a drop down to the river I skirted it for a little while had a wobble and was on my way again unscathed.
There was a lot of commotion and merryment coming from behind me on the woodwork section, did somebody come off there?

Sometimes I don't feel like going out ..it's mainly when it's blowing a gale ..other than that weather conditions really don't come into it ... Maybe I'm different to everyone else ..but I do think the people I regularly ride with are of the same or similar mindset . First & foremostly I ride because I love the outdoors ..and I'm happiest on natural trails rather than trail centres . I'm not one who is looking to finish the ride before I have started ..I couldn't give a flying fig as to how long it takes . Strava / personal bests ..how long it takes to get up or down a hill ..it all means nothing to me .. My personal bests are the scenery / wildlife that I happen to pass along the way ..and the sense of well -being I have at the end of a ride .. I hope that never leaves me ... That's what I need to get back - you are dead right, this strava nonsense has to stop, Sorry to hijack the ride thread lads, sounds like you had a larf. Nice one. |
