Re:

Thanks for the Clubby trails tour today Clubby
Was a good ride out with 100% retro bikes, was a fair few miles and between that and the seaside fresh air I feel pretty tired this evening.

Best part of the ride was the cafe stop with coffee and cake, or two helpings of cake if your name is Rob

Second best part was watching Clubby ride his Killer V "rodeo style" down towards that stream, how you managed to stay on board I have no idea!

The only couple of photos I took today...

Re:

Looks like you had great weather for it.

Re:

Mike, started off in fog but cleared nicely later. Ended up in just my base layer. Felt like spring was here. Pity the trails still felt like winter. Z-Max tyres were not designed for Scottish mud.

Jim, I've still no idea (apart from superior bike handling skills) how I stayed on either. Bounced down the entire chute on my front wheel. Lucky escape.

Good to get a decent amount of miles in. 33 miles on old bikes is good going, especially in some of those conditions.
Need a re-run in summer when the trails have dried out.

Re:

Looks like a good one guys. I'm digging the wheel reflectors Jim (what's the bike btw, looks a bit like the Raleigh Pioneers I used to sell BITD?).

I'll get my arse in gear and get along to a ride at some point this year :roll:

33miles is a great effort guys, sorry to have missed that but think I would've struggled with that so made the right call.

Physio the mora for check on my knee afore holidays.

You mean you didn't notice the side-stand?
It's some Muddy Fox "Trail Blazer", the name is misleading as it's more of a "Trail Plodder" tbh.

Gid effort chaps.as you say 33 miles on the old bikes isn't to be sniffed at.
