Dunno why I've even got this section on here. Maybe it's so you recognise
us when we crash into you, utterly out of control, one day on the trails.

Wa
Well, this is me. I've been
tending to fall off a lot so far this year.
I'm
sure people get annoyed with my tendency to start rides at the
bottom of the
hardest climb in the area and phrases like "It's pretty much all
downhill from here". |

Riz
I'll let him write his own description. Or
maybe I'll just say he has bowel movements that you can set your
watch
by, which
can cause problems if your out riding with him at 11am.
The
Chocolate Foot Huck-Meister, and also the Master of A Bag
of Many Things. Needs to buy his own pump. |

Whitish
Going for the coveted King of DIY Achievement
Award this summer and so only rarely seen. Still, far too fast
for a man riding a commuter hybrid*.
* A
2001 Marin Bear Valley - the 2003 version is now a commuter bike
with rigid
forks - much to his chagrin and our amusement.
Now has a new bike, but no-one recalls actually seeing him out
on it yet. |
 |
Macey
Gold Lamé shorts form the mainstay
of his all-year-round riding wardrobe. He's sure to kill me for
putting
this pic on the web (click to enlarge - if you like that sort of
thing).
Has a largely capitalist approach to bike maintenance.

Dr Watson
Not the right sort of Doctor unfortunately.
Rides a Marin Quad that really looks like it should have an
engine.
|
 |
JASON
Master of the Humourous Tale Of Someone Else's Misfortune,
Jason somehow finds
time
among
his busy
forum-dwelling lifestyle to go riding, and is loathe
to leave any warm place serving cold beer.

Rog
Rog is our resident hardtail evangelist, going beyond the call of duty on many occasions and finding himself tangled up in some form of vegetation or other, along with his unbreakable Banshee.
His missus cooks a mean cake too, he says. Not that we ever get to try any.

There's more, but I guess they're just waiting for
the right moment... ChrisH, Ben, Si, 8-ball, Dirk, MikeW, Sexpest, Matthew... Come and play with us in the forum.

Dobbo
He just starts getting into his riding after 22 miles in the rain,
and one day plans take his Vectra 2.0TDI down Smiths
Coombe.
Likes nothing more than a wander around
a warzone in nothing but a pair of pants. |
 |
RidleyRider
Likes to take pictures that show the suffering of others on the
climbs, and put them online.
Master of the Weapons Grade Stomach Gases and part time goat-herder,
Ridleyrider is most at home on the hills with his talking moss.
Hang on... those gases seem to be having long term hallucinogenic
effects. |
 |
T-Bone
Not named after his hulking macho appearance, but rather his
blissful ignorance as to the movements of others. Or is he actually
an evil genius at work?
Usually has four tartare sauces with his scampi. |
 |
Turnout
Map reader average-ordinaire and all round Turner XCE owner.
Seems
to have ridden his bike just about everywhere despite only being
14. |
 |
Chopper
Driver of The Chop Wagon, usually at ludicrous speeds.
Not renowned for his subtle manner or conversational pleasantries.
A notable example: "I'd love to stand around and chat,
but I've got a fuckin hill to climb". |
