    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 -

    Cheers

    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?

    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?
