I like it ALOT, they feel more natural to the hands so I feel you actually get a better grip

I'm glad to hear that because I get sore wrists with my straight bars after riding a while—broke the wrists years ago—and was worried comfy bars might be a bit wobbly.

Devil's Dyke not far where my brother lives.
Kirroughtree was wonderful, really enjoyed it.
The weather hasn't been kind and tomorrow more rain, hoping for either Dalbeattie or Mabie tomorrow and friday.

Did Dalbeattie today found this ne the most technical so far, I'll post a picture when I get home tomorrow.
Nice week in all

As a rule I don't do bling, but could not resist a pair of limited edition Shimano pedals.

Limited by the fact that they are the only ones!

Whilst cleaning the bike yesterday, I decided that while the pedals were stripped down for cleaning, I'd tidy them up a bit.

It's a bit like marmite !!! You either like it or not.

no you cant put 203mm forks on a frame like that the geometry is all wrong with the rear sus thus the handle bars are way to high with the saddle down.

it is why DH bike frames are so small in the first place

Saddle looks like it could use some viagra!

Ugly, but like battery

Perfect cycling weather for me today:

Have you been up Roseberry Topping? Did she mind? No seriously, have you tried ascending it? Maybe it's too steep.

I used to live not far from there. Osmotherley was an oft-visited beauty spot.

Not on the bike. I have ridden up the pack horse trail going up onto the Moor the hill to ride down the trail Skip Off Work.
Not sure if it would be doable or not. There tend to be an awful lot of walkers, not really worth getting into conflict when there is plenty of other trails to ride.
I live round towards Clay Bank so Osmotherley not too far away across the hills.

Frustratingly I had to make yet another around trip to T/Wells yesterday morning, and figured that I might just as well take a chilled ride along bridleways and bridleways and lanes to get there. I really don't get the attraction of riding on the road, but sometimes it is a necessary evil.
The ride home was pretty good though, with traffic at a stand still and gridlocked, it took all of 15 seconds to skirt around this, and into woodland and away.

To make up for things, I feel a night ride coming on shortly. I won't sleep in this heat, so I might just as well head out onto the forest and enjoy the night.

A mixed ride to T/Wells.

Took advantage of the great weather for a mooch around the northern fringe of the North Yorkshire Moors. About 30 miles in total and 3600' of climbing. Dog had to be rescued by the misses as the heat was too much for her a little way in.
