Well Tym if you find this thread (that alone will be a miracle the way this shit show is run) then you can see we’ve all been hoping it’s done n dusted n you’re on your way home all fine n dandy. Particularly Dandy, I could imagine you rocking dandy. I tried to donate on Bruce’s ball jar labelling charity thread for you but couldn’t see any bank details so I spent it on new gloves I don’t need instead, being kind hearted I knew you wouldn’t mind so Tym thanks for the gift ?

OUCH ?? Get a load of next weeks forecast then. Likely all lies but it was nice to say to my husband “hey look at this and it’s not Spain!” Vroom vroom

Pop tarts, I didn’t know they still existed, I thought they were a children’s food lost in the annals of time? ? Great views. Hankering after fresh air now. It’s chucking it down here!

Lol now I know youre definitely unbalanced ?

Wow we’re talking OLD old. I know this is might sound a bit daft but I find it quite amazing how long buildings last if humans inhabit them and how quickly they decay n get reclaimed by nature if they dont.

Honestly I’m not sure what I was thinking, it’s even worse when you know this was only 2015 ?? From the expression on my face you can tell I was clearly lost (again), my delightful friends enjoyed photographing my clueless face as I slid by in the wrong direction... again

If that’s the 80’s you were waaaay cool, no fluorescent gear?! Christ I look more like a refugee from the 80’s now than you did back then! Hang on I’ll try and find my best/worse gear choices. One season I wore a Panda hat. Yep it’s not a typo.. a fake fur Panda hat, not sure if I have a photo of that though.

Intriguing, worried they’ll join the thread and spill the beans? ????

Funny you should mention that. I spent last years ski holiday thinking about how far the same money would have taken me on a motorcycle, at the end of the holiday I decided I’m done with skiing for a while. The constraints of time and money, what a PITA

Always has been over here but theres a ratings scale of resorts from super bastid expensive preserve of the wealthy to jeans and an anorak are alright for skiing in aren’t they?

I dont know what is it? ?

What didnt you like about the alps? The steep drops you can easily accidentally ski off? ?

Ah yes I remember that one. I was 9 then so cant of been the first time Id seen snow but it is the first time I remember it, cue huge disappointment every time they said it was gonna snow after that and 2-3cm fell ?

There are always dicks anywhere you go

Love it, very.... xtreme ?

Great write up for day 3, beginning to wish you went for longer! This- ? Government job - 3 watching, one working

Great stuff. The skeletal animal and man on the outside of the building are pretty impressive, I mean how exactly did they get up there to do it? Takes some commitment to your art.

Thanks for that. I’m definitely gonna stay there! ? Thanks for that. It looks beautiful and wild. I had a look and apparently Misery was also filmed in Colorado. It was at least 20 years ago I watched either of those films so its clearly a very striking place! Colarado wasn’t ever on my hit list but it is now!

Really great pics. How old is the cobbled street?

@XTreme lets see your favourite clip!

Yep but fair warning you may get wiped out along the way ?

Pretty bad and yet even today in the worse weather the UK can muster most of us still venture out in our normal winter coat (usually one thinish layer of cheap wadding or a normal wool coat) and a pair of wellies (could we pick a less appropriate boot for the snow?) then we act surprised and complain how cold we are ??

Partially inspired by the Baja thread and being sent a link to an old youtube vid Im in but hadn’t seen until this evening I was thinking lets see some of your favourite clips. This ones a bit long tbh (6mins) and most of us are only by in it flying by but if you’ve got a nice bit from your favourite trip or just some biking you did that makes you happy then even if they’ve been posted before lets see them again, post away A kind best bit compilation!

I love to avoid it ? Ive been the least experienced one in a group and in some ways it really sucks watching experienced riders breeze through looking like they could probably make a cup of tea or read the paper while doing it and in other ways you think, well its doable, not by me at the moment but it can actually be done ?
