From Mountain Bike World mag: me, Rory Hitchens, my mate Matt:

My friend Steve and I. We reckon we were the first people to ever mountainbike Copper Canyon in Chihuahua state of Mexico – way back in the late 80’s. Check out that Pro Caliber and Cannondale 3.0!

Me racing on my Cannondale F2000 at Matchams park ~1997?

Me in MBUK ~2000

I get so nostalgic about Dirt. It was a simpler, happier time.

Ah, Matchams Park 🙂 Did you ever do those short course night races they used to do, Rich? Over the motorcross jumps and through the tunnel. Great fun (I was rubbish at them though).

Never did the night race I only had 3W haolgens, god knows how people raced before decent lights came out!

Matchams! WOOOOOOO! I won a bottle of Muc Off there once, for being the first in to the first corner.

Soon after that, I was wheezing away heavily and losing places badly! 🙂

Bit premature as usual then Flashy? 😉
