I know a few of you on here like your bikes, so thought I would share this with you.
Took advantage of a free Saturday morning and being up at the crack of dawn, and decided to go for a little bicycle ride.
Would be rude not too, when uve got this on your doorstep (Well, 3 miles away!)
Linacre Resevoirs just on the outskirts of Chesterfield, heading towards Chatsworth. 3 Resevoirs all on top of each other.
Havn't really given my newish MTB a good thrashing yet, so heading up here as there is a few good trails and lovely scenary.
The Mid/Low range Marin stood up pretty well actually, considering im 17 1/2 stone are pure lard! Never heard of the Spinner forks before, but very impressed.
Was well muddy aswell, which I enjoyed. Nothing better than getting shitted up?
Few more pics with the bike (Shitty weather, so not the best im afraid)
Finally, thought id do a "What you wearing" Cycling edition.
Nice pics Gav, will have to ride out there myself, me and a pal are planning Sheffield via Lincoln to Skegness in the summer with our basic camping gear, will be a fun ride, more than welcome,
Pound the gym, cardio on ironman setting for couple of months and soon be in shape my man, We want to do our trip with an overnight camp each way and thats it so long weekend there and back.....
About 80 miles in total 40 mile each day, nice and steady, sing song round camp fire, visit the arcades, get a puncture, have a laugh, hunt our supper that kind o thing, I on road bike but changing wheels and my pal is on MTB....... with a motorcyclist following videoing.......
thought you might have been golfing this morning gav, looks like you were out on the bike just as I was rolling in! Hit up magna last night for the ale festival, gave the derbyshire bar a good tanning, some crackers there from ashover brewery -butts ale at 5.5% was a winner for me, stuggling now though, will stick a pic up on on the offhand on tour thread

Just one little note to add - Your a Menace to Society Mark

i am from the beer capital of the world, burton on trent! [/quote]
We are proper shite mate, but points are points.
Think we are just about safe now, so look forward to some Offhand mini meets in the Birmingham area...
Ale is the way forward mate, not this fizzy pop shite!
There's a ale festival in the Crown at Beeston soon if you fancy a hit?
Once upon a time in The Peak District....... (early this morning to be precise)
Thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. A brisk trip around the reservoirs this morning. The type of ride where it seems there is a stronger head wind round every corner.
Ladybower in all her glory
Black'n'white amateur art shot
Obligatory 'what you wearing' shot Gore goretex jacket, gore shorts, and gore socks (I shuddered a little), Berghaus top and Adi-Zero trails
And a topical one for this afternoon, Eng-Gur-Land!
