So after hanging up my cycling shoes many years ago...about 10 yrs I reckon (ridden to work occasionally) tomorrow I'm going out on the Gary Fisher to Trent Park (5 mins from home) with a work colleague for a 4 mile jaunt...its going to be muddy and I will be out of breath...

Joking about the yellow and pink stuff btw !

Any tips ?

Considering I work in the bike industry I should be ashamed of myself !

Bright pink/yellow is definitely still in but now you have to mix it with some fluoro green. HTH.

just get out there and ride but 4 miles is just a warm up really. Go and do 10 then go to the pub. ๐Ÿ˜€

Yes, it is!

Bula hats for slalom markers, isn't it? Wasn't it? Hmmmmm.

You really need to wear the kit you had back in the day for the full effect, even if it's been munched a bit by moths.

That would be most Rad and To The Max.

Bright pink and yellow - are you sure it is 10 years and not 20 years since you last used an MTB !! 8)

Sam Hill really doesn't get away with that.

The kit designer just looks like they've mushed a packet of opal fruits together and thought "that'll do"

This was the safe distance to avoid 'inspecting the chasm'...
