Mountain biking helps you meet some lovely people, even if they do tear your legs off uphill and take you to the dark and spooky woods to muck around getting filthy. 😯

One of those random “are you off for a ride, mind if I tag along?” moments tonight, with two total strangers…

One particularly, as he is one of our brethren. *waves at surroundedbyhills*

Last time that happened to me i ended up in a&e 😀

Surrounded by dog soldiers ;O)

It’s usually okay until the combination of beards’n’axes gets involved!

Last time that happened I was completely out ridden by 2 guys that were were wearing jeans and t-shirts

I was bumbling along in all my riding gear, with a better bike, feeling like an old pillock

I relate to that feeling…

One of these days this thread will pop up when someone does actually get buried in the woods by two strangers…

How do you think I feel, I ride AND go for a drink with two men I met on the internet. I’m even going away for a few days with them this year. And they’ve never met my wife!!!
