Hi

I have to wear authentic style clothing for llandudno, on the penny farthing, and felt I should get used to looking an idiot, before the event, so I am all togged up, and ready to go for a cycle! Only problem is all my clothes are green, so I look like a ruddy toff going shooting, more than a cyclist!

Ah well, getting ready for some serious laughing at!

Cheers

Dave

Hi

I have tried for a while to rotate it, have done it several times, but every time I put it on the forum, it seems to go back to horizontal!

Cheers

A picture of sartorial elegance Buzzy. Better than the greasy overalls I usually wear. Isn't there supposed to be some padding for such a dangerous pursuit... or at least a parachute for when you're up there Wink

Hi

Was either that or a ratty old work fleece! That is my only nice jumper, I think! Keep buying new clothes after a day wearing them, they are old, burnt etc, so now just go shopping once a year from a charity shop or somewhere cheap!

Neither did my jack pike socks or my buckler boots, however my feet are an awkward size!

Cheers

Dave
