Are you about to take a pasting?

Of course not! Fully landed it and continuned on with the DH race (S Wales Dragon series).

Can you really explain to me what this seriously has to do with climbing??
Or are you one of those climbing sorts you find at Arapiles that dresses up with just a towel on to make people belive you are cool and distract from what a crass climber you really are??

Loosehold, you fool, read the UKC guidelines for Profile Pictures before you post stupid comments.

its clear to me that this chap needs some panniers and mud guards to round of his extreme mud caked mountain biking persona

They must have just fallen off before the shot was taken. Anyway, the only dirt I tend to see nowadays seems to be in nappies.

It's quite possible - after this shot - there will be no more nappie wearers in the future....

Jeez,
That loosehold **** needs to get a grip. Great photo.
Respect.

That looks excellent.... what bike is it by the way?
