piccy links…..errr

well that didn’t really work !!!  I used the url link button on the ‘new post’, ‘upload images’ tab, and pasted in the url from the ‘properties’ of the pics on my facebook page.  Pics seem to have come out huge though.

 

Any pointers on how to do it better would be helpful  (posting pics, that is, not riding my bike – I know that is a lost cause !!

Soggy Wednesday !

Well that was a bit of a shock to the system after the dryish trails of the weekend.  Only 5 of us out, including 2 new to the club riders, Dave and Eilidh.  The heavy clouds were threatening from the very start so PistolPete led us off on a wee 25 min loop of the urban trails, back round to the trails just after the bombhole, where we proceeded up through the new section beside the old quarry, out through Hole in the Wall and played around on Voodoo.  Dave did a cracking face first mud slide down the grassy bank and we all managed a few dabs and slithers along the top trail, before much hilarlity negotiating a claggy claggy claggy John’s -).  Down the muddy rhoddy descent and up Snakey, at which time the heavens really opened.  It was only about half 9 but getting dark and decidedly yeuch, so a wee play around the lowish sections of Drumclog Moor and a hasty retreat back down Snakey etc to be back at the club just before 10.  Nice being out, but a big bundle of soggy kit in the wash – just like a winter Wednesday night really -)

monster tyres

I was at the mtb worldcup at the weekend and got talking to a guy who does snow/sand dune biking .He has a surly with enormous tyres and special wheels .Front has a single sprocket for swapping over in an emergency if freehub packs in.anyways he has a blog which is worth alook for the novelty factor if nowt else.

Tuesday Ride 7th June

Great ride tonight. Slippy, wet , boggy and a laugh. Rocky/rooty then riverside, up the westie , up Rosies and into Clifftop then through the very boggy’Lots o grunts’ before finishing with the windmill track. Acrobatic falls on Rocky(No names), over the bar face plants in the bog(Again, no names) and general slipping and sliding around all added up to a great night out. One of the best nights i’ve had in months.Thanks to all 14 riders who were out tonight,i’m going to my pit with a smile on my face.
