Seeing as Barnes is all set to be as priggish as can be, let's not give him the satisfaction! So, as ever, let's have pics of those that are both athletic AND aesthetic. Clean, safe for work pics only please, folks!

To kick off, and as the Tour wends it's way, Fabien "Spartacus" Cancellara;

Queen Victoria, holding a tool

Top mountain bikist, Emily Batty

Ooh, it's all a little on topic so far, isn't it? Almost like it was a bike forum. Objectify that, Barnes!
😉

Which Barnes would that be ?? Priggish ? I thought that was TJ or BWD ?

Not sure how child friendly he is, but brilliant.

ARRGH! You're right, it was TJ who's set to prig to the power of sick! Apologies, Mr Barnes!

Mods, any chance you could edit the original? 😉 😈

Time for another coffee, need to get brain working!

Does this mean gratuitous oggling of Emily is Verbotten?

No, not at all, as we can admire her pearl necklace and pass comment on her choice of bar ends as well.

CFH this is beginning to resemble cyber stalking – Ms Batty run away! (or cycle if you prefer) 😆

I often wonder whether the prigs would like to see women dressed like this

I'm wondering why you often wonder it?

this thread these days is basically the CFH Batty appreciation society!

she's nice, don't get me wrong, but it's bordering on obsession… 😉

anyway, just to keep things on track:

(i hadn't noticed… 😆 )

whereas I never even noticed the bike…

LOL!

i assume CFH has gone for a lie down 😆

Best and Destivelle, poetry in motion.

Mind you if best ever met her he would have ……………..well we'll leave it there because this is a family show

More A than A&A then. some hard bastewards:
John Bentley

Scott Gibbs

Duran & Leonard

and Anneke, natch

A pair of Darc(e)ys
Turenne

and Bussell

Fausto Coppi. A man existing now almost purely in a series of incredibly strong black and white images. Almost unadulterated athletic aestheticism. Ironic, for a man prosecuted for adultery. 🙂

Valérie Ghibaudo, top of the women’s PWA ranking after 1 round in Korea (windsurfister)

More Kleenex for Cpt Flasheart!!

One for every red blooded human being

That Batty girl sure has some lovely teeth! 😀

Warning, it's fascinating and geeky in equal measure!

CFH – do you just like that pic because Ms Batty apears to be welcoming you with open arms with a look of delight and surprise?
BTW we can print this life sized and laminated for you if you wish?

Make sure it's in 3D so he can at least know what lo :twisted:ve feels like 😈

Nah, it's just a really fun picture! She can really ride as well, if her results this year are anything to go by.

Anyway, just to get bumped above the pics of an aged fag hag, how about a little bit of

Ruthie Elliot

Used to ride for Condor, I believe.

I think you are violating the constraints of your own format there CFH. If the thread is not to be discriminatory or exploitative of women, then such remarks are highly inappropriate 🙁

Anyway, I think Kylie is cute and she's way younger than me :o)

Flashy – thanks for the link. It scares me.

Yeah that's what it is. When your in the LVRC you get newsletters about that kinda stuff.
