This one!

Clicky for some of my favourites 🙂

Simon – how many more times are you going to post up “that pic”? I really don’t want to see myself staring out from the STW Forum on a regular basis 🙄

Well I have decided it is the best mtb photo I took all year, and was on the best ride of the year, so I’ll keep posting it as long as people keep asking what your fave photo of 2008 was : ) There may have been one better than that but I am banned from posting it now.

Most of my rides in 2008 have been on my tod, and these even in the sunniest of weather dont produce great pics.

I quite like this one, taken by my mate on a Berwick to Derby 3 dayer, that’s me and blackhound in the distance and we had just ridden up through that mist.

TRacey

yep 1111, the italian stallion from Addiscombe on the right, and his mate grizzlygus on the far-left.

I like this one I took today.

ernie_lynch – so who are the gorgeous girlies then 😉

That’s not me !

I’m not sure what I’m doing here – wtf is the preview button ? !

No, definitely isn’t Gus!

Thank-you CG …….. “on the far-left” ……..indeed.

Oh druid – nobody can compete with that – it’s beautiful! Where is it please?

That’s looking down on Loch Muick

Some more of that trip – here

that looks great druidh

I’m dead jealous druid! Is that Torridon area? (hangs head in shame at poor Scottish geography).

More info here Loch Muick and here Map

Nice one bruce – t’were that very route.

c_g – Loch Muick is just south of Ballater (South East of the Cairngorms you might say). Much of the land belongs to Lizzie Windsor.

Must be time for some more

I like this one of me, snapped by Pete of Joyriders, ‘cos it makes me look like I’m actually, even slightly, possibly, a little bit proficient at mountainbiking….

Self timed dodgy pic, but, i think it summed up the jolly mood of a riding holiday back in feb this year.. my first proper week in Scotland with my bike.
Happy times!

Really love this one for various reasons

Love this one, because it was a top day chilling with mates.

This one because it reminds me of many a all day ride, ending with a setting sun.

This one because it’s the only pic i’ve got, of when i started riding a mountain bike off road.
So it reminds me of coming into this amazing lifestyle.

From the XC World Cup at Dalby this year,fantastic to see such good riders clearing some pretty tricky stuff.
