Where has your bike taken you today?

Very much like what his babygrow says!

 

It should just have said "no matter what mommy says" on the back

Now we wait for the report

 

 

That report will probably take more effort than the ride!

 

 

The wait is over! The report is here: http://www.velotales.com/2018/03/the-bigdayout-2018.html

Excellent reading yet again, Velouria.

Nicely done.

As always, a lovely report. I'm exhausted from just reading it and I can hardly sit, my behind is so sore in sympathy. HUGE respect! I  especially loved the bit below:

 

"We'd gone on a day-long adventure, seeing some pretty cool, and some pretty heart-wrenching things, and we were back where we started. Normal people had gone about their normal lives, and we'd done something special. From afar it might look like a midlife crisis, but I prefer to believe it's just a continuation of a lifelong passion for adventure. The day we lose that passion is the day we'll have our midlife crises."

Thanks DJR - as I get older (and *cough cough* less competitive) I find I'm reevaluating why I enjoy riding bikes so much. Rides like The Big Day Out remind me...

Or......."This is proof that daddy isn't only riding bicycles"

Do epic ****

 

Did the Berlin BP Shamrock 100miler cycle tour this morning.

 

As always a great day out, but man it got hot out there and the hotter it got the less pics I took.

 

 

Shamrock Pie. Ain't no better race food

Did I mention that it got hot?

Popped down to the Cradle to excitedly try the,now open, full MTB loop.

I was too busy flying through the new sections to get any decent pics.. but... THEY ARE AMAZING!

I can NOT wait to get to ride them again.

The stretch down Beyers to Toadbury is filled with jumps and fun as is the section from Beyers down to Glenburn then awesome flowing ST back up to Bidon.

What used to be the best part, From Bidon down to the Rhino/Lion circle.. is now a part of the best parts.

Glenn Harrison is a magician!
