Transalp Travels

Hi All,

Just thought I'd share a few photos of our recent trip into the Pyrenees, when my mate Nugget and I took our aging Transalps, (piloted by two aging riders) out on the trails. Both bikes ran like clockwork.
Sun, scenery, sangria & spills , it was all there and a great time was had by all.

I've posted some photos on flickr -
Transalp Travels - a set on Flickr

Cheers

Re: Transalp Travels

No, I'm not jealous. No, no not one bit. No, not even a little bit.

















Well, maybe just a weensy bit.


Great photos, by the way.

It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

Re: Transalp Travels

Fantastic photos... and the bikes look great! (I noticed how the self-erecting tent was mounted below the top-box too.)

Why not put some of them forward for the 2010 calendar?
