Sir Fallsalot

I was chatting to some bird on a horse a few weeks back when i stopped for her to pass, she also rode bikes and had a Desert Sled and was a really nice girl we had a good chat but by fuck she fat her stomach was resting on the horses neck all i could think was the poor thing must be suffering (the horse not her) it was a sturdy welsh cob and she was miles from home on it

In this case the BOAT is a Byway Open to All Traffic, It seems that Merthyr council have been sly dogs and not put one of the byways on the map and nobody knows it exists, that was until they had a sly meeting where they have proposed closing it which meant they had to put it on their page for the public to see and luckily somebody spotted it, so the plan today was to ride up to it and ride it while it's still legal which is a bit ironic because everywhere i rode to get to it isn't legal LOL. Anywho set out around 08:00 this morning, it was quite frosty and was -1.5c but with clear blue sky's and very sunny. I had around 3 miles of road riding before i got off road and after the first mile i was already thinking about turning back to put warmer gear on the heated grips were working overtime trying to keep my hands warm inside my summer enduro gloves but i stuck it out because temperature is a different story when you hit the dirt This is the mountain where i spotted that tetradactyl before LOL This was one of the legal lanes, it felt a bit exposed to the right now that everything is dying back for the winter, the bridge carries the A470, Merthyr to the right and Cardiff to the left I ride up past my parents house and onto trials of my past heading down towards the old Cefn Glas railway tunnel as i have done many times before Further on i have to cut through the forestry to avoid a deep mud hole i didn't fancy riding though it on my own and risk getting stuck, the cold has gone now and i'm feeling quite warm After the forestry it opens out to this moorland, a stretch of land I've hated riding from the age of 16 as it's riddled with ruts hidden by the long grass its quite slow going picking your way through the ruts although I've seen good riders go through here like it's tarmac Back into the forestry and its still frosty in the shade all the water from here on is frozen typical Merthyr weather I end up taking a detour due to get around fallen trees and end up having to negotiate this, something i wasn't comfortable doing on my own and as usual it doesn't look that steep in the photos but believe me it was and i'm now steaming hot and sweaty This is the last time you see my mirror There's a steeper short drop off onto the forest road and i decide to walk the bike down to be safe but i loose my footing when the front wheel drops off the short step and i end up falling down the bank taking my mirror with me when i go back up for the bike it's also taken the Radiator Shroud off where it dragged on the bank knew i should have just ridden down doh! From here there was lots more mud and fallen trees to negotiate and eventually i got onto the Byway i was looking for. The start was nice and easy so i could catch my breath and cool down heading into the sun now An nice drop down into a gully and back up. the trail goes sharp left up to the top left corner of the photo and was similar dropping down to where i am Back on some easy stuff About halfway along i get lost, there's trails going off in all directions and i end up by the Abernant railway tunnel it goes from Merthyr to Abredare and theres rumours their going to reopen it for walking and cycling This is a photo of the inside from stolen from on line, i would have loved to have got in there again its just under a mile and a half long. I went through there on a Honda 400 superdream when i was 17 years old but it's all locked up now with a thick layer of grease on the gates to deter anyone climbing over One of the fallen trees to get over there were quite a few like this on route no real problem for the mighty Beta And this would take me into Bike Park Wales mountain bike center, the fallen leaves from ere on hid lots of slippery rock which got me all hot and sweaty again A bit more road work to get my onto Heol Cymro which is a half mile steep climb covered in loose rock made worse today by the low sun flickering through the trees blinding me From here it was a gentle ride over my mountain to the petrol station for a wash before home You can clearly not see my missing rad shroud here Another good day's riding lit the fire when i got in so it's all toastie in here and i'm now sinking a few pints of Skippy piss chilling out

I see horse riders a lot when out on the trials but It's not often i see men on horses, here it seems to be a female thing. Only time i see men on horseback is when there was a hunt on is it the same there

I wanted to put a sad face but the tits on a fish comment turned it into a laugh

Twat i don't think i'll bother putting a photo in now

That's the same price from Gopro themselves, and if i buy from Gopro my daughter will get me 15% off as a student discount https://gopro.com/en/gb/shop/cameras/hero12-black/CHDHX-121-master.html

Twat you got me thinking of them again just when i convinced myself i don't need one i'm now thinking maybe i do lol

Sadly that is so true

Stick it on e bay Bob and see what happens

fixing the damn thing keeping you busy i was on about your not allowed to ride it

Hmmm do i play this card again Or shall i say fuck it and just go out, i think i shall see how i feel when i wake up in the morning

Their cheep as fuck on the Beta UK site they are free LOL https://www.beta-uk.com/Bikes/current-bikes/ALP

You were saying you were bored and had nothing to do and now you want to sell the one thing that will give you something to do

Before or after said bumming

Perhaps you should get a dog Clive https://fb.watch/otD9HZGWDs/

Are you putting a blade on the front to push the snow

Yes i need to to tolerate the stupidity on here, you can see from my quote your picture has disappeared meaning it was deleted, with members like Marcel and zzzak on here your play for TOTY is as waste of time you may as well give up now

That's better LOL

Yes we do but what part of, it must be in landscape do you not understand LOL

That's what happens when you poorly photoshop your bike in front of an Aqueduct on a gravel road probably would have gotten away with it if the road was metalled LOL

Does it come with a free six-pack of beer or do you have to buy them separate

Unless the man is riding a shit bike LOL

you can set the screen to stay on or keeping it plugged into the car usually works

I have one like that they want £70 to update the maps so it will never be used again that's why i like using the phone as it's always up to date and gives you live traffic congestion updates as you drive
