    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 ?

    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!
  15. Slowlycatchymonkey
    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 ?

    Dont think ‘The Shining’ and ‘Misery’ was the best introduction American winters, I’m waiting for an accompanying horror story! ??

    In this house shad is short for shit head ?
  21. Slowlycatchymonkey
    20mph?! Id say you were lucky not to, would have been a soft landing though ?
  22. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Shame. I once went to a ‘Young Farmers’ doo and proffered the idea it was ridiculous for an individual or company to say a bit of the planet belonged to them and them alone. “Who said it’s yours? Way back in the mists of time someone said this is mine, you can’t share in it, get off?” Madness.... well they thought I was mad ?

    Just access as a footpath then?

    I’m loving this thread. Thanks. Looking forward to day three. If you’re new to it like your guy it can be completely draining to keep it up over a long distance. He may well have aced the same stretch if it has been at the beginning of the day. TBH if I saw the sand at the end of my day Id think “not now, I’m knackered!” ? Loving the price of a burrito! Great pics ?

    Speak for yourself and that motley top box ?
