I remember staying at Ratagan youth hostel in 80s I'm thinking. I must have had a bike as I was asked if I was doing the RSF ride. It left from Invergarry probably 30 miles on road to Kinlochhourn then off road to Arnisdale , back on road to Glenelg and up over the Ratagan pass to the hostel. 56 miles seems to ring a bell. He said you want to see the state of some of them at the end. I did half of it many moons ago quite enjoyable I thought.Johnny-come-latelys

I keep saying to my wife I won't ever need to buy any more clothes in my life. She doesn't like itSome call it stingy or old fashioned, I call it sustainable!
She is just afraid you could replace clothes by shoes!
Wow, that brings back memories!! I lived in Bradford and I was somewhere between 8 and 10 (1959-1961). I had a steel bike with Sturmey Archer 3-speed gears. It had brakes operated by steel linkages; I think they might have been called rod-brakes, but I'm not sure. The bike even had steel mudguards front and rear. My Dad had rubbed them down and painted them with white gloss paint; I thought it looked the absolute business!I can lay claim to riding down steep stuff long before BMX was a thing ..on a tourer with Sturmey Archer 3spd grip shift gearing on massive pit heaps ( coal waste) in the North West Durham coalfields when I was just a nipper ..
I rode the same bike on a School ( not mine) trip in 1969 which my uncle led ..(he was the history teacher at said school)..I'd be 12 years old and the youngest on the tour..I remember coming down Snaefell mountain ( Isle of Man) .. on tarmac (asphalt) with the speedo bouncing off the scales max'd 40mph ..mind you there was another lad riding a Raleigh Chopper and had an arse that finished at the back of his neck after the 10 day trip( that long thin saddle just about split him in half )
..so maybe I was an Mtb pioneer along with God knows how many others
That was the Specials ..you're further gone than I thought ..Well that didn’t work……..
Lost My CherryLost my cherry?
My problem began almost immediately on a flat MTB peddle. Always used clipless pedals on my road and gravel bikes previous to my stroke. The unclipping motion for my left foot was no longer possible during a ride. If my left foot came off the flat pedal during a ride I would have to stop and correctly place my foot on the pedal. This made absolutely no sense to me …it was frustrating. Then I thought; Hey! “What about a magnetic shoe or pedal?”
I sat down at my coffee table and started drawing up designs that could work …for about 2-3 hours. I thought WOW, am I every smrt.. If I Patent this idea I could make millions $$$.lol
Then I decided to Google “Magnetic Peddles “. I had one of those Laugh Out Loud moments when I saw that there was a variety of manufacturers waaaay ahead of me.
I now use Avery Hustle magnetic peddles.
Different cultures may have different definitions? You may need to refinement your request.…or choose another fruitI consulted the Urban Dictionary for a good definition of "Lost my cherry". It has never failed me before, but I got this:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry, we couldn't find: lost my cherry
So, I tried "popped my cherry" instead. If I cut and paste the content, I believe that the Sheriff will not like it at all. But if you really want to know, follow the link below:
Urban Dictionary: popped my cherry
Once you are in the Urban Dictionary, have a browse; the content can be amazingly funny. I never cease to be amazed at just how funny people can be.
