Proper old style cross country racing.
Climbing over walls. Throwing the bike across the river, then wading across to pick it up. ๐Ÿ˜€
Plenty of single speeds in there too.

He's a football referee - trains by running backwards down the road. He's been run over twice.

And some fixies, judging from the single brake lever.

Singlespeed was very very common back then, nearly all clubmen rode it.

Best thing I've seen all year. Bring back river crossings in Cyclocross.

Someone needs to work out where it is, and arrange a re-enactment ๐Ÿ™‚

I'd imagine a few of us have done a similar route to that escaping from the girlfriends old man when he's come home early and caught us with the pants down......Oh, only me then. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Wow. Brilliant.

No suspension, no gears (for some), no freewheel, no helmet, no sense, no feeling. And all of them smiling throughout. Rock. Hard.

Liked the quote about the boy with the quiff that kept blinding him.
