Did you have closely shaved hair?

lol. Ive just found my childhood hero.
I got this really clear memory of you doing a wheelie up the chalky path up to chiliton down. I always was and still am crap at wheelies.
I remember where chris lived cos after a day out with the purbrook club i rode back to newport with him. We were well knackered and i was trying to get him to give me a lift home. He didnt and i think i walked back to ventnor with legs like jelly. That will be why we use gels and that these days then.
I had my pine mountain kicked at the end of 93 and joined the army a few months later. That was the end of mountain biking for a good 10 years after that.
Be good to meet up on a future ride.

I may have been back then i think i used to shave it and then grow it out to a near on afro then shave it again.

Hi Islanders, I was never part of the ATS crew but I've been biking on the IOW for the last 20 years. Know it like the back of my hand. We should have some Retro meets before the 7 Hills I think. If anyone on here wants to make some plans I guess we should organise ourselves in the South west section as Johnny Boy suggests ? See you on the trails !!
