A few more, and not all of me this time.
Above 2 are Reedy at the top of the Les Gets 2 course, hmmm how nice was the weather? Can't remember going any where else in the world and seeing a sky as blue as that
Three more this time the bottom of the Les Gets course
One from the Metabief course, just after the world cup had been there
Last 3 from the course on the lake side of the valley in Les Gets

Mental......!! some fantastic pics and you look a very good rider. I'm a XC man ...none of this mad stuff....
But the best pic of all. Was you (Maybe) coming tearing round a corner and in front is some bloke with a flat cap on (Well thats what it looked like) right in your way!!!!!
TOMAC very very nice. Took my Intense traser out yesterday for a good blast along the river..but got buggered by my Hope minis again
Must be the worst brakes I have ever had. Bike show soon... Got some press passes for a good look.

Alright mate,
The pics look really cool, doesn’t look like you mess about, there’s some serious air being grabbed. I think you’d defiantly leave me trailing behind.
. I heard something about the world championships being held in Les Gets next year? Are you going over?

clicky link cos fotopic is poo!!
Luke: Yes the Tomac is a nice ride, I did have a Schwinn straight 8 in the pics but have sold it, and now ride (something very closely related to yours) an Intense Tazer, I use it foe short UK downhilling and lots of BMX track, dirt jumping. How good are Intenses!!! I do a fair bit of XC now as well on a specialised FSR M4. Not with you on the flatcap bit?? Have heard several bad reviews of minis, which is a suprise as Hope are normally spot on.
JackClark: No excuses get yourself over there, I promise you will LOVE it no matter what sort of riding you do.
Texas Pete: Thanks for the compliment, Yes am trying my hardest to coincide my visit with the world cup. Have watched it in Switzerland 2 years ago (Les something or other!!) When my friend Nigel was competing and we had a brilliant weekend.

Get yourself over to Aston Hill, the 4X track is scary as hell. Click on the map for photo's I've still not found the ***** to jump the road. Age is a great excuse.

I love my Intense" but not recently.. the brakes ruin evry ride.
Its not as plush as my merlin titanium but I dont like punishing the merlin!!!
There is a pic with another rider infront that isnt wearing full combatwear!! by the looks of it.. Looks like he might have a flat cap on..

Not raced since 2001, but used to do the Specialised (Midlands???) series and also the Dragons, never really good enough, I couldn't crack the top 10 at the Dragons so I fell out with racing!!!! Also did some scottish stuff in 2000, and the scottish national championship in 2000 (I think). Do you Ride/race?
