I use 2 fingers all the time and not just for braking

I sometimes find one is sufficient.

Finally some dry weather.
Toes got so cold called it quits after two and half hours.
Downside of an ebike, no pushing up so feet don't warm up.

I do like that colour scheme.

Sadly not so dry in my neck of the woods at the moment. The open forest area is near on perfect, but the woodlands are pretty dire.

When the light starts to fade it's almost neon, it does shout a bit. Certainly not stealth lol.

 

[EddiePJ]

That is one of the reasons that I don't tend to ride through either of my local MOD areas any more. A white bike with fluorescent orange, tends to stand out a bit too much.

A bit of a shame, as they offer some superb riding. An old naff clip.

We had some wonderful winter days a while. Enjoyed it to the maximum with some quaulity riding.

 

[EddiePJ]

Very envious.

Which front light do you use?

two small MagicShine's, one on steering bar and one on helmet.

 

[argoose]

Same here, good lights. MJ-906 on the bars and an MJ-902 on the helmet.

How wonderfully snowy, lovely.
I did a bit of road riding today, not as flash as the pictures above I'm afraid, but did a fair distance. Some off road

Hope these work

Just built up! I may end up putting the Bafang on the MTB you can see hanging on the left, but for now it's my old bike in touring guise! Going out for a spin in a minute!

Pic no workie.

Pic no workie.

Works fine for me, but it looks more like a little grey and white 'no entry' sign to me, rather than anything more interesting!

 

[TheGnarlyCenturion]

ha! I'll get more interesting picks up in a bit Figured I'd put the BBSHD first on an allrounder then see what I enjoy riding most with the ekit.

Still trying to get the chainline sorted

Kind of ebike related.....

We headed into one of favourite playgrounds this morning during an Orange/Santa Cruz demo day. Guess which bike remained behind, yep the Orange!
The other riders weren't after an eMTB, and my interest in the bike is a big zero. I don't like wasting people's time, so choose to ride my KTM Ultra 1964, a budget bike by comparison to the rest, still on summer tyres and with no dropper post. I loved every second of the 22.6km ride. A superb morning of fun, and the perfect demo day location.

Another new line under construction.

Possibly one of the last rides for the Ultra. Having sold the Macina Lycan this week, I'm now keen to upgrade from the Ultra, so it will probably go up for sale this weekend. It has been a brilliant and fun bike, and I must admit that riding it today, did have me pondering things. But as I'm keen to concentrate more on my cross country mtb riding than my eMTB riding, it is time for an upgrade.

The playground.

Went out for a ride yesterday as not too cold about 17C, we have had a lot of rain last week, in fact there was snow up in the mountains at 0C.

This is a circular route which takes me out along the coast by the sea then a longish uphill climb then off road cross country see map and pictures below.


This is the view from near the top of the climb just where it goes off road.





I had a good ride out, which gave me a good appetite for my Sunday Lunch, and the trails had dried out which was a bonus.

You are making us really envious now.

 

[EddiePJ]

You are making us really envious now.

I must admit that I'm starting think that I should have said no thanks to tonight's nights ride.
