Re:

Today-Tuesday-Summer riding, 78 F. and sunny. Up to the west of town today about 900' up. someone got a flat and left their old tube at the top instead of packing it out with them :roll: .
Oh well, that's why I have been riding tubeless for the last 8 years or so-no flats ever, and no heavy tubes to deal with... :) Yesterday it was foggy during the eclipse, and I got this pic of it through the clouds...

Re:

Pat that corner is getting smaller by the minute!

Took the merlin singlespeed out for a morning razz from Leighton Buzzard over towards Dunstable Downs then Ivinghoe Beacon/Ashridge Park.

The last couple of photos is the village of Aldbury where any fans of the film The Dirty Dozen will know well!

Re:

Player-Beautiful rolling hills and country where you live. Now I have to watch the Dirty Dozen again to see the village as it was then. Al-haven't you gone tubeless yet? Only you know and I know what you meant in your post- we'll keep it that way :LOL: . Today-Wednesday-Out for a ride with Charlie Kelly up to the lakes on lower Tam today. He regaled me with some stories of his trip to see you guys in the UK last month. 85 F. and sunny summer weather today. Alpine Lake is getting pretty low now as summer progresses...

Today was another short loop.

My rear felt a bit wobbly (oo-er) i checked the tyre and the qr but all was good. When i climbed over a gate later i noticed the spoke :facepalm: so ended up doing a shorter route than planned.

You don't have to break your bike just so you can covertly ogle the sheep.
