Today at Oostvoorne, Netherlands. Managed to get two flat tires.

Magnus, I got 2 puntures in the first week. I think the supplied inner tubes are very thin. I replaced mine with heavy duty tubes and haven't had a problem since.

Well just got up and it looks like a fab day out there, so I think I will spend the afternoon in the Forest of Dean on this bad boy.

Happy days

Thanks Chris! I was kind of unprepared so I had to walk 9km back to the car . I'm considering to convert to tubeless. The rims seem to be tubeless ready.

I think you only make that mistake once? I always have 2 spare tubes, pump and basic tools. That's not all I have to carry though! My wife insists on a small medical kit, eye drops, sun cream, lip balm, indigestion tabs.... the list goes on and on!

Magnus and Chris, as you have already

Here you go Chris. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/and-the-kitchen-sink.19998/#post-266293

The poncho has long since gone, but it did actually prove handy on a couple of occasions, and now I sometimes carry a couple of extra items, a fold up hand saw and some loppers. The bag has also changed. The loppers I tend to just leave hidden up, whilst I'm trying to create new ride routes.

Eddie, impressive. I always imagined your backpack was full of expensive photographic equipment?

 

[EddiePJ]

Nah, generally I just use a Fuji Finepix XP70 pocket camera.

Hopton Woods yesterday. Did the the Pearce XC red trail. Described as.... '18km and recently re opened after a 3 year break. It's classified as a difficult trail so it is suitable for proficient mountain bikers with good off-road skills. The sweeping descents, challenging climbs and rocky, rooty downhill sections have had a significant refurb recently'.
Very tough and had to use full power on some of the climbs. Knackered when we finished but a fantastic trail.
'Rooty downhill' caught me out as seen in the vid....most of it is my wife.

I lolled at the puddle paranoia. It's an electric bike thing.

Kudos to you for taking your sheepdoggy for a run too. Great vid. Subscribed.

I've a handlebar cam on at all times D8ve. Because you never know what's going to bite you! Or get squashed under your wheels.

My 'funny' rating was meant in a good way.

Out on the Scottish Rights of Way tracks today. Some of them are quite overgrown and challenging. The Kraken/Oxydrive combo is turning out to be a fine choice for these trails

 

[soundwave]

That looks such fun, great how the dog runs along ahead of you too

Sheepdogs. Big brain, massive drive, good recall and obedience. Insane work ethic.. And they say that dogs are like their owners.

Nice one SW. I actually have some mouldable plastic, but have just been too lazy to do anything about it.

This short crap clip was from yesterday evening, and trying to follow the sticks on the ground to pick out the route isn't getting any easier.
You can't tell from this, but I nearly took a tumble at about the 3.07 point, when my handlebar and shoulder hit a tree on the way past.

Forgive the music, I did just have the mic on, but swapped camera position, and the cables kept hitting the camera, and made a noise worse than the music.
