Surprising lack of Bula hats in these photos so far...
I'm just about old enough to remember most of it, I got properly into MTBing in 1993 when I was 16. Somewhere I've got some photos of me at Whipstakes Farm races, my mate on a fully rigid Marin with the matching purple forks and stem.
May even have some of the early MBUK issues, the ones with parachuting bikes out of planes, doing the Wall of Death fairground ride on an MTB. Oh and Bula hats.

Yes small World indeed elliptic
Not quite the bigest coinncidence of my life, but still a good one. The bigest is still Sophie Bowtell and Lisa Adzhead meeting at my Wedding, not knowing each other despite being in the same year at Girston for 3 years, both having rock climbing boy friends, both being horse mad and both wearing dresses made from silk bought from the same shop in Kathmandu......

I have never seen that photo before! I used to love that descent (probably my favourite off the hill) until some farmer stuck a fence across the trail

Oh, and I must talk to you about Christmas/New Year Exmoor bash...

Oxymoron, I'll bring the actual photo's with me when I next visit. You probably have a scanner or just more ability than me when it comes to getting them digital.

Me around '92 on my '91 Ridgeback 600 (rubbish) dicking about in Bushey Park

And my mate George hucking the same bit of river and losing his Redskins hat at the same time

I did some XC race near Ealing one weekend in 91-93 and I'm sure there's a photo of me sporting my fantastic Brancale helmet.
