MacRetro chat and rides thread

That scared the crap out of me just watching it. (The Danny Mac video, not the Aviemore one ) Some of the trials moves with that much exposure, plus the sheer length of it.

Aaron’s fine, he moved to Peebles a few years ago and is just quietly doing his own thing. Tried to meet up last year after first lockdown, but timing didn’t work out. Corona plus having a wee toddler means I’ve not seen any of you lot in a long time either. Last group ride I did was this time last year, up in Aberdeen with Rob and Jimo.

What's happened to Aaron? Haven't seen or heard from him for ages?

He's still down that ravine i think

That video was a blast from the past Jamie

Good to hear. I was concerned as he seems to have dumped his FB page too - which let's face it isn't exactly the end of the world :xmas-big-grin: Sometimes just a worry when folk go dark all of a sudden.

Re:

Great video Jamie, what a fantastic weekend that was, scary seeing Aaron go down that ravine though :shock: .

Re:

Great video Jamie and I liked the Dunkeld vid on your Vimeo. That was the time Mr P brought his collie dug and had to go back to find it. Jocks comedy fall into the bracken was priceless.

While we're reminiscing this is one of my favourites. Filmed by Aaron. I'm glad he missed my otb on the fast downhill and the resulting bust lip and broken tooth. The crap NHS bridge work reminds me daily.

That is a great video as usual.
Today I logged into Vimeo for the first time in a very long time and first thing playing was this Macretro one from 2013!!!

Thats the very collie dug. Is it still on the go ?

I’d forgotten all about OCP falling off there! Could have been a hell of a lot worse. Ever since, on every ride there I make sure to tell everyone that if you’re going to fall, make sure you fall to the left.

Another wee vid from that ride. Going by the number of riders I overtake, we must have had a pretty good turn out that year

Yup - photo was taken in Appin a couple of weeks ago :xmas-big-grin:

Currently tugging at my trouser leg for an evening stroll.....
