[Closed] I feel it's time for a 'post a pic of you actually riding a bike' thread..

Well you look fine, but what about the poor rider further up the trail?! 🙂

He is the poor bloke further up the trail. 🙂

The only one that I've ever seen of me was taken during a Cotic demo day and makes me look even fatter than I actually am*, so it's not getting put up on here.

*than I believe myself to be, anyhow, which is the only thing that matters.

I am the one behind the camera usually....

Oh I like this thread already. Like the BPW shot with the dust behind. Looks like the start of Bonneville.

We met three lovely fellas in the car park at Llanberis. The guy who has fallen there fall off A LOT. I felt a bit sorry for him as I rode past his prone form 😉 I think it's one of those trails that if it gets in your head, you're going to walk a lot of it.

On an @martinh - get it up there. You know what a supportive group STW is 🙂

Last May, Cairngorm Loop :
