Nice, I never knew she was a mountain biker. Or is she one of those weird people who commute on a FS trail bike?

She is too awesome not to be a mountain biker!

Youโ€™ll be telling me next that Keeley Hawes is swinging her leg over an Orange Five.

Just off for a cold shower.

oooh, member of the opposite gender that likes archaeology andย mountain bikes...and FWIR, has done a bit of skinny dipping (gosh - reminds me of someone I used to know...ahem☺️) ย Sheโ€™s my new favourite😁

On a more serious bike geek note though - is that the new Whyte short travel 29er?

Keeley Hawes is swinging her leg over Hannah Fry, mboy? This thread is rapidly getting out of hand (just as I assume CF predicted when s/he posted)

Alice is a friend of a friend, didn't know she was in to MTB but she and her husband are very outdoorsy.
She's intimidatingly intelligent, and a bit flirty.

She lives near me and seeing her in the local garden centre last summer was literally the highlight of my year.

Despite knowing the name I had no real idea who she was until I checked Wikipedia then remembered seeing her on Coast. Seemed a top lass.

The only Alice I ever met was intimidatingly flirty and a bit intelligent.

If that's the case, it a shame she's wasted on that bloody awful Digging for Britain program.
