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

Sweet ride.

Too much information matt 🙂

🙄

She is too awesome not to be a mountain biker!

You’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 and mountain bikes…and FWIR, has done a bit of skinny dipping (gosh – reminds me of someone I used to know…ahem☺️)  She’s my new favourite😁

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

Sorry, not for me. Nor the bike!!!

Second hand?

Looks like the lacquer is flaking off on the top tube??

Or Hannah Fry! 😀

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)

Nice … but it’s no Sick is it?

I’ll see your archaeologists and raise you a Professor Suzannah Lipscomb MA, MSt, DPhil (Oxon), F.R.Hist.S., FHEA.

Nice. I didn’t know she was into mtb. She was my uni lecturer 20 years ago. Lots in the class had a crush.

Should I know who this person is?

^^If you watch a lot of BBC4 docs, yes.👍

Was she on Top of the Pops a lot in the 70s then 😄

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.

I approve of this.

Top Humanist too.

She is ace, now more ace.

Well, Oranges have always been a popular brand.

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.

This news only adds to her awesomeness.

Hope she wears a helmet…

any other academics get new bikes or just this one?

Can’t pull a wheelie.

Brian Cox uses Fox Shocks.

Serviced Grayson Perry’s rear fox shock ( off a Marin) when I was at Mojo.

Cant believe there aren’t any pictures of the lovely Alice astride a steed😍

She bought a horse too ..?

She’s intimidatingly intelligent, and a bit flirty.

My kinda gal.

My kinda gal.

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

She’s intimidatingly intelligent

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

she and her husband

Bugger…

Will hold off giving her some of the famous tpbiker diamond chat over Twitter….
