I spy - Belton Ravens

(1/3) > >>

PH:
Among the many bikes of all shapes and sizes at this annual mince pie munching Christmas get together, SIX RAVENS!

EXP that looks like Team Triplets, could there be another like that?  Obviously someone not bothered about weight, carrying several kilos of mud, WASH THAT BIKE[;)]

Matching pair (Brace?)of black Raven Tours, looked very sweet together. Did they have the owners names on?  Or was that something else I was looking at?

Another Black Tour, very shiny.

Sleek looking Mk1 Sport Tour, drop bars and carbon forks.  The first I've seen, very nice.

And of course my red Raven Tour[:D]

Six out of about 100 bikes is pretty impressive and there were plenty of other Thorns.  My Raven has defiantly lost some of it's novelty value.  Last year it was the only one I saw there, and it was attracting a lot of interest, this year no one seemed to notice it.  Quite glad in a way, there are only a certain number of times I can answer the same questions[;)]

Yes it was mine.  While spoil a good bike by washing up the memories!  At least compared with many so called off road bikes, my eXp looks like she has been off road!  Most of the dirt has accumulated since returning from Danmark from riding my off road route to and from work.  She has been washed at least once - before going to Danmark, when passing through "immigration" into agricultural countries it is a good idea to go through with a clean bike!

Ceri-Siān's xTc was also there although she was not riding it.  In fact is was a very emotional day for her, she rode the front of Toucan tandem, Siegfried.  She had a friend on the back.  As she put it, "the last time she rode to Belton on her, she was stoking on the back".  Oh how she has grown up.  Siegfried was the tandem pulling Yasmine our Bob Yak dressed up as Santa's sleigh.

My eXp has celebrated Hogmany and Sylvester by a nice night ride back from Salcey Forest.

For those not at Belton - I have posted some photos of my "clean" bike on the Team Triplet web site see:

She is a bit more muddier from the ride to Salcey Forest on New Years Eve.

Hi, I was at the Belton Mice Pie Run riding the front of Siegfried.  PH- I agree that my Dad should wash all the mud off his bike (as I think it is one reason why his rohloff hub broke and also, it looks horrible!!).

EDIT: Mum says the bike needs to be cleaned aswell.  Alos, Dad has just said that the bike will get a wash this weekend...

xtc girl:
STOP PRESS: The EXP has been washed, due to Dad not being able to ride as eventually the mud clogged all up the mudgaurd and stopped the weel from turning. [}:)] But, in the processing of cleaning the bike, Dad covered the kitchen in mud and oil- Mum is not amused.
