I just assume it's always raining in Wales unless a Welsh person lets me know otherwise

Could you do a quick check to see if there's any human sacrifice going on, or cats and dogs living together?

wales is nice apart from all the loving bridleway gates. when i did the trans-cambrian way i would of gone mad if i was by myself as i'd have to get off the bike every 5 mins to open another gate, and they all opened slightly differently :bang:

if you're near the elan valley go cycle or walk the reservoirs there. Claerwen reservoir is cool as gently caress

If you're in Wales on a bike, go to the bike park and fling yourself down some trails all day with an uplift service. There's loving loads of mountainbiking there.

Once I went to Swansea to deliver a couch to a hairdressers and another time went to a stadium in cardiff to count untapped kegs for the cricket world cup. Cardiff did seem nice I thought the job would take like 8 hours but I knocked it out in 2 so I pottered around looking at the castle and got a bit tipsy at a brewpub. Nice city, I'd love to go back and look around a bit more or rent a car and dig into the countryside. If it wasn't raining ofc

Scotland in general is fantastic. I used to ride up there every summer with friends and we managed to hit 6 of the 7 Stanes routes as well as a bunch of others local to those.

Weathers lovely here. I'm in Brentwood so as to can imagine all the orange people are out.

We even have a loving ICE CREAM VAN doing the rounds today and ofc every loving idiot in the street piled out at once and queued up all muddled together to try and get one.

I live on a tiny quiet street full of old people too, if one person is ill the whole streets gonna die horribly.

Long Eaton calling here, weather good. Painted a third of a fence and ran out of paint. Sneaking out for some ice cubes to get fancy with my alcohol.

It's weird out in the East Mids - people seem to be generally respecting social distancing and stuff but it's all with a bit of bemusement. There's isolated cases around here and people seem to have friends of friends of relatives who've caught it and so on. People are in the parks but there's a lot of fun dancing around to keep what people reckon might be 2m away and everyone says thank you when you do it. So weird.

Question. Why is is that the people who live nearby and blast their music always have the very worst taste? I have a full PA setup so if I wanted to, I could be an incredible bellend but when I'm in the workshop I never have it loud because I don't want to be that dickhead.

Currently being subjected to aural torture by way of lovely Spanish summer chart tunes and the sun isn't even shining.

The police helicopter was hovering right over my house for ages earlier. Perhaps someone's told them that sometimes I've been exercising twice a day instead of just once.

Two not real coppers were walking around the park pouncing on people who weren't exercisey enough. My exercise routine however was deemed so essential they actually apologised to me for getting in the way as they walked through.

bikepark wales is very good but if i had to choose i prefer the exploration/navigating side of mountain biking. i'm just about competent enough to do the red routes there apart from the A470 line where the jumps have a little bit too much potential for massive accidents. we found someone who'd bailed out of a drop a bit too late on that trail and ended up needing to be taken out by an ambulance.

Exploration is great but bike parks offer a concentrated hit of action which is nice sometimes. The stuff I used to ride and helped build in Yorkshire was relatively short and super techy so the trips away to more flowing trails were welcome. I remember once climbing to the top of the red run at Glentress and seeing a guy there on his nice bike along with his mate riding an absolute shitter that looked like he really shouldn't be there, definite case of more will than skill. Anyway my friends and I had just climbed up so were taking a break and these two set off, top of the Glentress red is (or at least was, not been there for a looong time) a winding set of big tabletops that zig zagged back and forth. Guy with the new bike set off and was fine, guy on the shitter steps up and immediately off the first drop looked incredibly sketchy. This of course was not going to stop him, he was too far in and cased every single jump before eventually over committing and somehow somersaulting off the bike. Anyway, a call was made to the hub down the bottom and they sent an ambulance up the trails to get him.

I love mountainbiking as a sport but it's hideously expensive and there's too many people doing silly poo poo that's way above their experience level egged on by their more experienced mates who are usually riding bikes that will cover up a certain skill deficit.
