He’s not a bad lad In Real life that teej is he.

Is that….a helmet?!?!

HELMET KLAXON

(Looks to be a Giro from over ten years ago. Binfodder)

Hold on.

I smell a rat.

I call Photoshop.

That’s not tandem Jeremy. Hes got a pudding basin on his head ! Doesn’t he care about rotational injuries 😉

A pair of helmets!

is disappointed by the lack of Captain America skinsuits

The HSE must have intervened

25 mile round the pentlands. Harlaw, Maindens, Phantoms Capelaw traverse to Howden burn then the single track descent over towards swanton and back to dreghorn singletrack. Molgips didn’t scream much at all which I thought commendable. A bit of a yelp when we hit a tree at Dreghorn 🙂

HELMET KLAXON

Expensive helmet stored well and not used much. don’t think its quite that old 😕

worn today in case Molgrips turned out to be an axe murderer

Did he try and steer? Where’s the picture of the bike?

You do know the finale of So I Married an Axe Murderer is late at night…

tj, you there?

Hello – yes I am here an survived.

tiRed – he even had a shot of piloting it

Solo captain? Or did you (ulp) risk your life, enjoy the rear view?

I sat on the back. Its actually not that bad. He let me steer the descents tho

Excellent stuff.

I can picture that very grassy swathe, even all these years later 🙂

I’m going for somewhere around 2002 for that helmet. Put us out of our misery and tell us what the date sticker says 🙂

It’s like seeing the Archers actors – that’s not how either of you look!

Simon – its faded away 🙂 Its a while ago thats for sure

Is your face big or molgrips’ face small?

that’s not how either of you look!

Unfortunately Captain America is ingrained on my brain 🙂

You have a newer helmet than that TJ.

Then there’s the one you broke riding under that low branch….

Based on your collective posts I can’t tell you two apart.

I really missed an opportunity there 🙂

The ride was cool – the tandem was wholly inappropriate for the terrain but that made it quite satisfying in a bloodyminded sort of way. A bit like arguing with him on here.

Had to get off on quite a few of the gulleys and ruts on the trail, which was slow cos it takes ages to get going again (relatively). Also steep moorland grassy descents are pretty mind bending. But two things helped: a) the Hope brakes are remarkably good with 200kg of old stuff behind them and b) TJ’s driving was actually pretty good – couldn’t complain.

Just have to not look at the trail when off-road, cos too many confusing instincts. On road though it is rather fun to look around at the scenery and not at the traffic.

I don’t scotroutes.

Ah – did you bend it, or is that the one you bought in TBC? Must be 6-7 years old.

Thats the one from TBC

Did you make progress?

Not very quickly, no 🙂

😆

Thats the one from TBC

Did the visor fall off?

Molgrips on a 26er?

😛

Shut up Al, I still own a 26er and until recently I had three.

Removed for its ability to cause injury. 🙂
