Wellies! Who needs 5 tens? 😀
In our climbing club my 'claim to fame' was grade 3 snow and ice and 5c rock in wellies (not on the same day tho, don't be silly 🙂 )
I'll take that as a compliment Bunnyhop 😆

Marin County, Cali
1982. My buddy and I rode a "century," a 100-mile road ride on MTBs. I'm on the right with my 1981 Ritchey, my friend Mark on the left. He is riding one of the most collectible bikes of the 20th Century, my "Breezer #2," built in 1978, which now resides in the MTB Hall of Fame in Colorado.

I think thats trumped us 🙂
What did we do before there was nostalgia............
Here I am with 'Smelly Melly' riding Tim Woodcock's Coast to Coast in 1994.
No Sustrans route then, no suspension forks, no SPDs, no Camelbacks and no cares. Just big rucksacks, rough camping and a lot of fun. Oh, and some beer.
