Meanwhile me in LA
Out here in Cali Winter means some of the best conditions of the year
I'm confused; you start by whining that summer is over and you're stopping riding then you spend the second half of your video enthusing about winter riding. If you were a real mountain biker who rode your bike through real, wild mountain terrain rather than on fake trails, surely the time of year wouldn't matter? You must know that the best riding is deep winter when few people are around and the snow is crunchy under wheel, better still riding by night when the moon shines on the snow and the world is silent.
Definitely a fair-weather lightweight.
Where I'm from, summer is never over.
It is perpetually muddy though. Rainy season's supposed to start soon but with the weather how it's been the last few months, it hasn't exactly ended at all.
Come to Phoenix, haha
everyone forgetting Fall exists
Hold the sun in your heart and nothing is over! 😉😂
At least you can ride during winter. Out here in Canada it snows during winter.
Cant wait for the snow.
I just ski in the winter- It's just as awesome!
* Us Canadians 😂 "cold"
❄️🌨🚵♀️🚴❄️☃️
I Absolutely thought this was going to be about Revolution Bike Park closing.
It's about time! Down here in the southeastern US it's too hot to ride in the summer so I take it off amd start back in October when it fo ally cools down.
Puppy waste!
In Alaska we ride year round.
Season never stops … unless you are not true mtb lover … day or night wet or dry …
I can not listen to your bolloks tbh like washing bike is a problem for you b…. please
I knew it!
Waste of time, this video…
Edit: Summer is over, Winter has Mud.
There's nothing more profound or additional to this video.
I’m in Arizona USA, I’m excited for this winter/fall. The high it gets in the afternoon is maybe 55-70 maybe a little less on a cloudy day, and then like coldest maybe 30 in the early morning. This is all in Fahrenheit
If you're in the SW next summer, pop along to Wych Lodge Bike Park in Somerset. Fun little spot and free to ride. 🙂
After summer comes Fall. Get your fill of beautiful "Fall" first.
That bike wrap is awesome!
I have had that saved in my Amazon cart. Now that I know it looks so good I’m going to order it! 🤙🏽
I'm not sure what he's complaining about. In Canada have something called winter and snow from November to April.
it's spring here in N.Z but here in Invercargill is basically the same weather as England's winter all year round lol
What do they say, no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing!
might just be me but i enjoy winter
A proper mountain biker will ride in any weather conditions. That’s what it’s all about , getting messy and enjoying yourself .
Wow some nice rides there ,, can you name some of those and where they are in the country
I dont ride in the mud on our local trails. Out of respect to the guys actually maintaining it….
Bit dramatic
That sucks you guys have to deal with such a change in your riding season. Here in the Northeastern USA all summer means is bike park season ends but back to great trail season from fall through spring. We ride all year here. We get plenty of rain too, but we also get an equal balance of "dry" as well. And some of the trails here actually work better not long after a rain.
When you say you’ve ridden all over the country I smirk a bit think about how the entire UK is just a little bigger than the state of Utah 😉. Come to the US, mate.
Love a frosty winter ride, more so than sweaty hot summer days. As far as a sheeting down rain day…….yeah I'll just not ride thanks haha
I dont ride until it cools down. Autumn and winter are the best times to ride
For those that hate YouTube suspense, Summer is what is over.
bro mtb season in san diego has just begun
I'm depressed. 😞
Fair play the roots section. As you drop on to the middle fire road in the Forest of Dean in your clip can be lethal in the wet. Great for building skill. Winter Miles=Summer smiles
I thought this title was about Revs closing. Get to Dyfi. More fun in the wet!
Stay off the muddy trails. It ruins them.
I live in East yorkshire and there's no off season for me if I want to go for a ride I'll ride it's a good challenge in winter wet roots and lack of vision 🤘🤘🤘
Winter = sketchier rides. So fun! Grogley is crazy
Winter riding is so much better
hello from the US. Hope your winter is going well. We had -10 F temps here last week, snow, and 50MPH winds in the Midwest. Tough to get out of bed much less get the bike out for a ride…
My biggest problem in the UK winter: Getting up early on a Sunday morning, spend over an hour packing all my kit, disassembling and loading my bike on the car, then drive one and a half hours to the nearest trail centre, find a space in the packed car park, unload the bike, assemble it, get everything ready, and then having just 2-3 hours left to ride until sunset. Then do all of it in reverse and finish the shower at home at 7 o clock in the evening. Sunday well spent I'd say, but the lack of daylight is really challenging and depressing.
I spent £570 on a set of the best exposure lights. Best investment for winter riding. My two mtbs would be over £15k to replace with the new equivalents, so the lights opened up a lot more winter riding for me and the same trail at night is completely different.
Summeeeeeeer is baaaack
A mudhugger 2 on the back makes a hell of a difference to all day comfort. Admittedly it doesn't look cool or 'rad' but I'm 64 and i dont care. ( I have a front mudguard as well) Also,some say that "there's no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing" And personally a bad day on the bike was still better than a good day in work.
