Weekend...

Was an ace weekend, home and a quiet Friday evening, then out a walk with M at Gullane and surprised at the lack of sand under Gullane cliffs!, look at the exposed rocks!

I have made films riding right under the cliffs!...

Down to NB and Hendo`s 50th Birthday,  the Posses unmasked...

Home early evening and good friend Mike arrived,  up for a couple of days doing the Uplift at Innerleithen,

Now when Mike comes to stay over he always bring some sweet bikes,  and along with his Surly Ice Cream Truck Fatbike for a beach ride the next day he had his downhill rigs he had used today and Friday, and like me he sources stuff secondhand and likes to be a bit different...

Lucky to see another Diamondback Downhill bike... and with tuned suspension...

And his Enduro rig...

And that PUSH tuned coil shock cost the original purchaser around £1000...

Sweet ride...

Time to fire up the Chiminea and open some Ciders...

A Combine was out until near Midnight...

As were we sitting out until dark and a full Harvest Moon rose... and a nice Rum to night cap the evening...

Sunday and despite the forecast of heavy rain we were out on the Fatbikes and so far it war more or less dry with just light drizzle...

Peffersands, and some dune surfing...

No sand under Ravensheugh crag...

Here is now ride able after some rain, was real soft sand during the drought...

Along Secret Trail, always a fun trail and with Mike to film ideal for a non stop film of the trail...
