I've got a bit of a thing for the female Atherton.. But is she really fit or is it just the fast-mtb-lady thing interfering with my hotometer?!

She has [i]lovely[/i] shoulders. But let's be honest, Gee's the looker in the family. He's got the hair and everything.

Amazed no-one has mentioned the fact that she nearly ran over a pair of spaniels yet - prime STW fodder ๐Ÿ˜†

Were they on a lead?

How dare spaniels be on the BBC, I HATE dog owners who let their dog loose on TV like that...

No lead - Rachel hammering it through the car park (I think), owners struggling to get dogs back. She didn't stop, but did say, "Scuse me, 'scuse me" as she hooned between them ๐Ÿ™‚

All dogs should be on leads, Rachel should have run them over and said to the owner that's what you get when you don't keep dogs on leads!!!!!!!!!
Sorry all you dog owners, but it seems to me that all dog owners think everyone loves dogs???
Sorry but we don't

I'm fine with that as long as all children are on leads as well...

I cannot take seriously a British girl who says "stoked" as much as she does.

Good skillz though. In general, I mean - I'm not watching the programme.

Stoked, sic and gnarly are evil and make me sick inside my throat a little bit, but Rachel is sweet, good to see her having fun and enjoying a silly run without the pressure of racing.

Plywood over the cattle grid FS....
and they made that Chinese bridge worker wear a hardhat while taking a cigarette break. It's health and safety gone mad!

If the Gadget show use the same risk assessment as the beeb, then Polly is never going to be let near a bike again.......... ๐Ÿ˜‰

I found the "my bikes better than yours" comment pretty amusing from Rach too!!

Good show. Anyone watching him ride thinking "get off the brakes"? To be fair though he was doing a piece to camera at the time.

So i was doing a race training day up at llangdegna (one planet adventure) and has spend the morning riding with Rachel and Gee. At lunch time my GF came up and asked how I was and how it was going as I was standing with rachel. GF turns around and walks off, Rachel turns to me and asks: "so was that your mum?"
"umm no that was my GF!"
"oops, how old are you then?"
"24"
"And you ?"
"24"

Surprisingly my now wife is not much of a fan of Ms Atherton!

Right - that bridge scene is just not funny in the slightest.
