Brilliant, looking at maps brings back some great memories

Oh, and just found this on youtube

The footage looks like Radnor; it certainly was muddy, wet and windy!

Awesome. Buffalo tops, rigid forks, bar ends and lots of hiking boots and toeclips and straps.

I used to spend hours preparing me map before an event. Went over the 'white roads' in forests in dark pen, highlighted ground above certain heights, etc. Made no difference to how crap we were !

I did the first one in a Rockhopper Comp but never did another. Fast learner

Found a few more pics of early to mid 90s Polaris. Two on a 1994 Team Marin and one on a Greg Fuquay
