Yep, once again I am not around tomorrow, so here we go with an early kick off for the Athletic & Aesthetic thread.

For anyone new to the concept, it's all about posting pictures of sportspeople who are both athletic and aesthetic. Very much open to all, so let's see some pics for the ladies of STW as well this week! As ever, please keep the pics safe for work, and keep any unnecessary smutty comments elsewhere!

To kick off, two for the price of one (Sort of!)
Rob Warner. Big lad. On a bike

The two for one? Well, see that little yellow thing on the seat tube? That's a film canister containing some of JMC's ashes. 8)

For those that don't know, Ride free, JMC

And, for the chaps, another retro MTB moment…
Caroline Alexander. Put me to shame on many a climb back in the day. Oddly, after she had overtaken me, I tended to speed up a little and try to keep up……

Mr Warner appears to use a double chain set up!

And he's running a disc brake and maguras on the front…?

Can't see no caliper on that disc

Next bloke down is at the top thinking who's nicked my **** wheel?

Good point well made, spare wheel or something then…was that the race Warner got a top 10 while not being able to pedal for most of the race cos his chain was jammed?

CFH.

Those team saracen/iron horse team bikes ended up in the hands of a few of my old riding mates.
I think one of them still has the frame and fork in his shed.

To say they were flexy is an understatement.

nicely engineered thread to get your favourite in there flashy

not worked.

The ever-wonderful Maja W?oszczowska –

i have not seen a photo yet of a woman riding a bike that looks attractive, lycra is never flattering-nor is wearing a helmet.

You realise that now someone will post a pic of the brilliant Jacquie Phelan….

i held april's bike for her in 2004. she aint that hot in the flesh.

seemed nice enough tho.

Do they have to be professionally athletic or can we include photos from the mugshots thread….

LGB?

I am trying to fathom why you felt the need to type that, but I just can't.
So here's a moose

mmmmmmmmm moose 😉

does a moose have hooves, or toes?

the bloke behind her seems to have an extra arm?

as long as they don't have knuckles

you could ask her ' lets go for a ride' and either way you wouldn't be disappointed
