Well finally thought I was going to reveal the “real” me but Edward Ciderhands appears to have edited me out. A good descent in Orgiva down about 32 switchbacks with the novelty of riding into a bar at the end. Out in Spain last week with BikingAndalucia, please note soft drinks are available if you are that way inclined.

If the linky works I may try another not that technically inclined.

How’s this:

Ooooo, a tan and everything!

Do they sell tubos and tapas?

Actually the guy behind you has very clean white tyres did he ever leave the bar?

I’ve ridden into a bar gate. Does that count?

That’s a late-August bike guide tan, that is! The guy behind me is a mate of mine (now back in Aus) who bought the white tyres (slicks!) specially for the event.

It’s a cool wee urban MTB race in Sainte Foy (now moved to Bourg Saint Maurice) up and down alley-ways and steps and occasionally through the pub. Now goes through Bazoom opposite the station in Bourg!

No tubos and tapas. Mutzig and Tartiflette though!

EDIT: just noticed that I’m sporting a natty medically-prescribed wrist brace in that photo too. Gap jump in Pila went wrong and I damaged the tendons. Took FOREVER to heal.

Iron Horse Classic, Durango Colorado. The race goes through a brewery on each of the five laps, then exits through the back door and drops down a one story ramp to the street below!!

Urban technical my new fave catch phrase though I’ll be riding in Cywyds mud tomorrow.
Colorado is well on my list of places to go, had to exit through the back door of a bar on several occasions myself back in the good ‘ole days!

ha, you’re doing it wrong!

bring the beer to the race track!

well i would need to be pissed to ride without gears 😉

LOL at junky. drunken fighty SS riders do go up climbs quickly though (especially if you say their niche pride and joy “looks like that new specialised “) 😀

What tyres for bar riding,something that grips on the tiles and wood but isn’t too draggy on the carpet?

Youtube video has got quite a few hits… i wonder where they are from… oh, a bike forum, someone must have posted my video. I’ll have a look.

Wait someone is claiming to be me walking into a bar. Then I read the post again and see reference to a story I told on holiday… I know who this is.

Anyway, I didn’t really to edit you out, it’s just that there were two clips going into the bar. The above is from the day you flew home… but just for you, below is Marin entering a bar, with bike.
