I was working in Horwich today and the one thing the last couple of mountain bike rides have shown me is that my skills are lacking. Anything remotely technical and I forget how to ride. The way to improve this is to ride off-road more. So I took my mountain bike to work so I could ride home off-road.
Getting all my work stuff in a camelbak wasn't easy but I managed it. It did mean that I was a little cold as I didn't have my usual 20 layers. Leaving the school I just headed towards Winter Hill, a bit of cheeky riding later and I was at Georges Lane. Up to the top and then down the Belmont descent. I then headed over to Turton Tower before home.
16miles, lots of smiles and hopefully the start of more mtb miles.
panniers on an MTB? Why not? it kinda makes sense....uuuurrrrrggggghhhhh!!!

I went on a bivvy trip with someone who did it, he struggled on anything off-road though.
