@The EMF you said you wouldn't take one of me from the back (#27) showing my two arses, I'll get you back for that!

You're mistaken Tony ..I know time & our now perfect bods can confuse the way we used to look ..but Wayne has already said that No.27 is myself ( apparently ) ...you're the geek to the left of me ..( the intelligent looking lad with the bins on )

That is not a good advert for the joys of MTB.
I much prefer this one:

Haha! Someone (the Sherriff?) switched pictures from "Santa Cruz chick"!
Much better than banning the post though!

I had to think on righting the ship comment. Certainly wouldn't be dressed like that here today it's absolutely freezing out on bike.

Can’t afford all that gender reconstruction……..

 

[steve_sordy]

In April 2013 a large bunch of mtb riders (22-25) from the MBR Forum (now defunct) met to ride at Cleve Hill on the outskirts of Cheltenham. The objective was to recognise the recovery from a serious and life-threatening illness of one of our number, TAZ (rufty-tufty ex special forces). Unknown to him we turned up all wearing pink tee-shirts (we made him wear one as well). We chose pink because he was ex royal Marines and SBS and we thought it was probably a colour he had never worn before. (We were correct!)
(Note: The SBS are a bit like the SAS. They do everything the SAS do, but wearing a wet suit and flippers!)
The tee shirt:

I still have mine!

After our ride we turned up at our overnight place, a very nice pub overlooking the city of Cheltenham. The pub had a terraced garden and the whole site was on a steep slope. It was full of large picnic tables with parasols, and bench seats. It was a sunny day and it was crowded: families, kids, pets, buggies etc. Whoever was in the front of our group rode down a steep grassy slope and straight in amongst the crowd and proceeded to slowly weave in and out, skillfully avoiding everyone and everything until we got to the far side where we dismounted. I am certain that if we hadn't been wearing pink tee-shirts and obviously on a fund raiser we would have been shouted down, lynched, whatever. Despite several people having to shuffle out of the way, there was not a single raised voice of protest. Don't you just love the power of pink!

My apologies, but I cannot find a single photo from that event, but it was featured in the MBR magazine the next month. (That would have been May'13).

Edit 50 mins later: I found one! Here is Taz on the left.

I’d rather do that then ever identify as an eMTB saddle again (see post #14,410).…and where are the moderators when you need them?

????? that’s gone right over my head.

Then it’s gone waaay over my head …and hopefully I can erase the image from my thoughts.

He is surely referring to the triangular shaped black object (a bag of some kind) positioned at the intersection of the top tube, down tube and head tube.

It looks a bit like it could be a spare saddle (in some twisted and fevered nightmare).

I wonder if you go biking for logging or logging for biking? Very impressive to see what tough work you are carrying out!

A little of both.





Just need to empty the dishwasher and feed the dog first.…then I’m FREE!

OR vice versa...its always one or the other ?

 

[Arminius]

Correct, empty the dog and feed the dishwasher is also fine for being released to go.

 

[Stihldog]

OR vice versa...its always one or the other ?

So…do you suggest I empty the dog during the wash cycle and add dog food just before I let him out? I could save money too…no need for a dog groomer either . Thanks .

Whistler BC would be my choice for the skiing just now. Madrid in summer ok , I wish.

I was joking because there is a trail in Madrid mountains called Whistler. Madrid at summer is too hot although in the mountains is better. I sent them as many people might think that Spain is a place for being laid on a beach only and Madrid the capital is just a city. We have a national park 45 minutes driving distance that is amazing for mountain biking.

I had a holiday in Mojacar many years ago . Brilliant went to Pampaneria ? For a night in the Sierra mountains lovely place. Skiing in Whistler is more expensive.

 

[Stihldog]

Price increases in Whistler. $350 for a lift ticket. A room at the Fairmount Hotel is just rediculous this time of the year.

But both Whistler’s have snow

Pre-booked my hotel already for Crank Worx Whistler 2025 will be there from the 13th to 18th travelling a bit before and after Can't wait.

£100 a day last time I was there 2020 I got discount as I was skiing 9 days. With the lift system you have . I didn't grudge it. The drink prices horrendous and they want a tip same with food.
