Excellent day riding even though it was stormy and dark for most of it. Decided to stay local and take in all the fun trails today. Stopped for lunch in a nice woods. Rode my old commuting/winter bike as the roads are covered in salt. #cycling #scotland #mushroom
Cold but fun ride yesterday. Got caught in a long downpour. Wore all my winter gear from backpack after that. Still some mushrooms about in sheltered spots. Slidey mud made things interesting #biking #cycling #scotland
@Wen @UndisScot haha it's one of the best bits about cycling! I don't think I've had any since I went to Portugal 😋. You are making me hungry, might even pop to Lidl after work 😁
@Wen @UndisScot Ha yeah it's not cheap. Thanks, I'll try a Patas del Nada next time! I haven't tried them yet.
Rode down the coast at the weekend. Followed a pretty great route with loads of variety. Stopped at the always great Bostock bakery in East Linton. Followed the river edge back past Hailes castle. #biking #scotland
Did a variation on "round the forth" ride diverting past the Kelpies. Then through Dechmont, the site of an "alien abduction" in '79. Fun, but much longer ride than I'd planned. Back late. Rode through some great woodlands. #scotland #biking #cycling
Long ride on Sunday. Trudged through a bog for ages. Sometimes exploring a new route doesn't work out 😆. Found some nice sections though. Then very wet and windy for the rest of the ride. #scotland #biking
Lots of paths closed so had to divert and found the old abandoned Asylum. Then back up into the hills. Carried bike up massive hill through the bogs. Amazing views today. #biking #scotland
Day off wandering around botanic gardens and town with daughter. Found a collared earth star and some birds nest mushrooms. #mushrooms #FungiFriday
Continued my local ride going over the high hilltops. Was an beautiful autumn day! #biking #scotland #edinburgh
Great to stumble upon the Carnethy 5 race taking place again after a couple of years off despite the ongoing landowner issues in the Pentland hills. #edinburgh #pentlands
Rode around the black and red at Glentress. The steep downhill sections near the centre are a lot of fun to spend a couple of arm aching hours on! #glentress #biking #scotland
Amazing trails yesterday around Innerleithen. Haven't been down there for a while. Bit muddy in places but the rain held off. #mountainbiking #bike #cycling #scotland #mosstadon #mushrooms
Does my tyre look ok? Felt like something is knot right with it. #bike #cycling #bikequestions
Research shows that some mushrooms use evaporative cooling to create convective airflows capable of distributing their spores. #mushroomfacts Found these guys when out on an evening walk.
