Morning. Evening. Whatever it is.
Anyway, I was riding in Afan today with my lovely girlfriend ( who is turning out braver, faster and frankly madder than me on a bike ) and we were at the Skills Park when a bunch of chaps turned up, one of them on a 97 Kona Pahoehoe. I had to say something, so I blurted out: "RETRO KONA!!" he replied "RETRO MARIN!".
And we nattered for a bit - lovely chap and his bike was ace. Apparently it only comes out once a year. (My Marin is the only MTB I have so it's out whenever I am )
Off Michelle and I went to continue our ride ( which involved more air than I was ready for, frankly, but was brilliant) At the bottom of the park we saw Jon coming down on his Kona - blinking flip the man was fast on a HUGE berm.
Oh and as he turned to his mates as we left he said to them: "Makes a change from the abuse I normally get on this!"
Here's a pic, we are stroking each others' bikes. Because we are indecent.
Oh and I need to get some bombers on my Marin. They rock.
He is the first retro rider I have met out on the trails who stopped to compare bikes and natter ( Naturally I told him about this place) Has anyone else met many of us whilst out riding?
