Mountain bike ride with Trio this morning, she wanted to scoot round the new stuff in the woods at Healey Nab as she's practicing techy riding. I mostly slithered about in the mud, pushed, swore, got scared of rocks and moaned. Best bits, there is a really nice wiggily climb and the sandwich in Chapel Tearooms was epic!
A 2(ish) hour ride and I needed a 2 hour nap. I am so not a proper mountain biker anymore.

Sounds fun :)
Did the picture of me on that scary drop-in come out?
Thanks for a great ride and cafe stop!
you know when you're not a proper biker any more when you start thinking 'i could run quicker on this' ;)
I think I need to get my MTB muddy again. It's getting used for far to many tarmac miles.
Simon - it was!
Trio - it's on Flickr
Kate - I do sometimes find myself on rides thinking this a good run ruined by bringing a bike along! Must redress the balance one the marathon is completed.
Red - tarmac miles on a MTB is always yuck, that's why God invented roadbikes.
So true about road bikes - now ride yours Jumbly!
Found the picture

But a little confused, I am sure it was vertical and a load of scary rocks, this looks easier than I remembered!
