First Wessex League 'cross race this season. The photographer has done a good job of making me look fast.
Couple here from SuperEnduro Monti della Tolfa in September:

Rocket Dog, we were in the same race, it was a very hot day to be single speeding.
No photos of that, but here's a cross race, i'm the bespectacled face puller in front of my team mate

Loving that photo Richmars....but could you explain what the hell is going on there?!
I've been staring at it for a while and need you to explain the wheel size, frame geometry etc to me!....the only way it makes sense to me is if you're about 8ft tall....

My first ever race, the Ardrock Enduro this year
I rarely race as I prefer to bimble along enjoying the scenery but occasionally I can be tempted to give it a go...

This was in the 90's when triathletes used 650C wheels. (Not sure why, just to be different?). The frame was custom made for me by Roberts.
The race was a duathlon, total of 26 miles running and 112 miles on bike.
Oh go on then:

This is from AGES ago now at one of the Brownbacks races. Done a few races since, a couple a year but none of my later pics are where I can embed them here. [img]

(edit, I should have never sold that Decathlon bike. It was bloody ace)

The last one, an Action Asia CX race a few weekends ago, not easy against people half my weight on 29ers (thats what I tell myself anyway).

Two wheel drifting in to a corner at Pearce Series Round 2 2010 at Bringewood. The main track was too muddy and treacherous even for the elites to get down the first 100m! So the main man, legend and all round nice guy that is Dave Pearce taped in a 'new' top section down the side of the hill and the riders kicked the leaves and logs out the way and rode it in on practice day until there was a track. Loose and loamy and wet doesn't even nearly cover it
