That really takes me back I belonged to the Loughborough Section C TC rough stuff runs were a fairly regular feature on the clubs calendar Canal towpaths were another favourite.Back in the late fifties andearly sixties well before restoration they could make for interesting riding
The Derbyshire Dales was another favourite.Hartington to Ilam Lathkill Daleamong many others .I doubt bikes are allowed through many of the dales these days
Happy days

I didn't find it easy to let the bike take control and I'm far from expert. I've played around a bit in 3-4" deep mud on the canal and found it works. It was a different thing yesterday. Two or three times I thought I was going down and so let the bike go, it just stayed up.
I did start to learn how to pick my way through the more difficult bits. I've never done any MTB or similar so it's all new. Our plan is simply to have nice days out, we won't be looking for anything technical.

Don't confuse me, I'm confused enough on my own

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Glad your arm is ok.
Morning. Cooler here than yesterday I think but I can see the sun.
Stay safe folks.

I remember a particular ride in the Rugby area, we did around 80 miles for the day, but only did 20 miles on road, I remember falling off riding across a field, I dropped the front in a hole and couldn't get out my toeclips fast enough, dropped into the hole still clipped in, as I got to the bottom of the field where the group was waiting they started giving me marks out of ten for the dismount.
Happy days and great fun.

Forecast says light rain and a moderate breeze which is about right.Not cold tho' at currently 8C.
Looks like I will need to start locking my door when I go out. There have been a few thefts recently, all so far of building materials and a long ladder.
FB blames newcomers of which there are quite a few over the past year. We used to have some known villains of our own but I have no current knowledge as these ones have all gone. They tended to be a bit daft and one took orders for salmon before he went and stole them. He was a bit surprised to find plod waiting on him coming.
We have had imported ones as this is thieves paradise and they cannot believe their luck when they arrive . Nothing much is locked and quite valuable stuff just lies about.
There has been no problem for some time now so it can only be recent arrivals.
My neighbours door very often lies open with nobody at home and some quite valuable stuff clearly visible.
They do have a dog which is probably in the house with the door open but stuff just inside the door is vulnerable.

Good afternoon campers.
The sun is shining, so I have cut the grass, again. i have done a bit of bike fettling also. I know I should be out on one of them, but the garden takes priority today.
MrsP is out with a friend for a few hours, so it is just me and the dog, i shall watch the Amstel Gold race on Eurosport.
Time for a glass of Malbec now I think.🍷🍷

I can beat that...
A few years ago I had a brief chat with an old local cyclist. He had spent his many decades of cycling just riding up and down the busy A646, never once venturing up onto any of the glorious quiet hilltop roads nearby, or anywhere else for that matter. His cycling was purely for exercise so what would be the point? My gob was well and truly smacked!
