Sir Fallsalot Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Had a ride on the XR today there were 8 of us out a few of them were novices, we were showing them around some of the local lanes. The one lad ditched his bike jamming the front brake on and ended up in the ditch off the edge of the tarmac, there was a prick there trimming some bushes totally unconcerned about the lad dropping his bike and then said just to let you know if you've been riding illegally all of your numbers are taken, one of the lads put him right straight away what a tosser. A few miles later the same lad ditched his bike again on a rocky hill but this time the screen of his bike jammed him in the nose there was claret leaking everywhere I didn't take a photo of his bike in the hedge it was the CRF Rally across the track we had just pulled it out of the bushes on the right Onto some mud look away Pete Steve the leg first he's not a novice anymore but he always falls off. Select HD on the videos I decided to get the camera out again on the track up to Miriam's bench as the start is a little loose see if you can spot the novices in the video good job their young and fit Keep an eye on the KTM rider and Steve the leg towards the top of the lane And the usual photo from Miriam's bench Managed to stay in front of the rain all day just started raining when i got in, the route was 108 miles for me a good day's riding and a good laugh 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wasn't, the ground was wet but not slippery wet, got good grip with a worn out Mitas E09 on the rear, if it was all over the place yesterday i was going to change it but i think it can stay on for the summer now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 108 miles is proper distance. Surely a few nice rolling trails to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling tarmac more like Pedro most of the local stuff is short rocky or muddy tracks everything in-between is narrow country lanes. like this kind of stuff But we also have a lot of this as well which i enjoy riding as much as the dirt tracks and sometimes more https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5584811,-3.6372126,3a,75y,342.8h,85.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scp8XPNpLU0eyhR6BZT4jJg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
