Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

Trail maintenance!

Tried for Baggy point during a storm with 70mph gusts and horizontal rain with hailstones thrown in.
Makes you feel alive and all, but what was really amazing is that they were still laying concrete on a house rebuild right next to where I took this photograph

Things started getting silly here, I was getting blown three feet sideways by the gusts, then a runner came around the bend and shouting in my ear told me he had been nearly bowled over the edge.
I turned back, fat tyres act like little sails in the wind.

So then I went to Woolacombe bay, which is a very popular upmarket beach resort, the algae foam from spray hit me right in the eye as I took this shot.

We never lose a chance to say sorry in England and these dog walkers apologised to me because their dog was blown in front of my bike which I was equally idiotically riding on a beach in a storm.

Then on to Westward Ho, this is a haunted house theme attraction that would just be superb in the storm at night I can imagine.

Then back to Combe Martin and this rather offroady baja Beetle with full roll cage and a mannequin in the passenger seat.

Got this lovely shot at Saunton beach of a kitesurfer by matching his speed on the bike

Broke my chain trying to climb a stupidly steep hill, luckily I could coast all the way back to the airbnb.

This rather snazzy house is quite the talk of the town , it was featured on CH4s Grand Designs and it all went wrong for the couple who divorced under the pressure and left it unfinished and millions in debt.
Its still empty to this day

Ive only shown the bottom half of this controversial statue in Ilfracombe by the very edgy British artist Damian Hirst, the cows in embalming fluid guy..
Its very graphic with autopsy cadaver top end.
Its called Verity if you want a look, but its rather grotesque and not my cup of tea.

Great holiday, loads of wind and sun, plenty of biking and meeting weirdos in the pubs.

It looks the troll Rome mislead you to post in the old thread, @Chargeride.

Yes, and it seems you can just copy the text and images in one go and paste it again.
